    Best place for Lebanese cuisines.. Cafe environment makes it more energetic and the most attractive place for youngsters in town.. Have tried Kunefe, Lebanese sweet platter and mint tea 🍵.. makes a wonderful evening..

    Nice setting in the middle of Dakar plateau. Crowded on a summer Saturday evening. The restaurant is well decorated with indoor and outdoor (mainly for Shisha lovers) seating areas. Food is served without a long waiting time and the grilled meat and appetizers are succulents. Service can be improved a little bit more to accommodate customer requests, as it is a bit disappointing to get a No as answer to basic request such as changing tables if a better is available.

    This place offers variety of kebabs and Lebanese-style sandwiches. It is one of the few places I have found in Dakar that offer a decent meal in a reasonable price. Most customers order food for takeaway but there are some non-fancy seats there as well (not a perfect place for a romantic meal :D) One can also get special Lebanese sweets and bread there. Don't get surprised if they tell you that they can't find the menu and ask you to order what you see! Only once I was lucky enough to see the actual menu and I am sharing the menu photos here.

    Good atmosphere, food was nice and the terrace it’s a nice place to be

  • 4/5 Meghyem 1 year ago on Google • 203 reviews
    I visited Oriental and tried their gaufres , and I must say they were delicious, it's important to note that the service can be quite slow, and the place can get crowded, which might not be the best fit if you're looking for a calm and quiet environment. It took quite some time for my order to arrive, but I can't deny that the gaufres were worth the wait.

    The food and beverage presentation is beautiful and delicious. Hot food, dessert, drinks, hookah, sports viewing... Mixed service

  • 5/5 Christian Z. 4 months ago on Google • 74 reviews
    Loved the Middle Eastern food and the great rooftop seating. Staff was attentive, portions and prices are reasonable too. If you’re not into smoking, it may be challenging to sit away from both regular and hookah smokers who are abundant.

  • 4/5 Hazelnut M. 1 year ago on Google • 43 reviews
    The place is comfortable and has AC and nice lightning. The staff is polite. The place can get pretty loud because of machine sounds from the bar and staff interactions. It was quite disturbing. The food is amazing. The price range is fairly high but very reasonable and most of all you really get your money's worth in terms or quantity AND quality. Convenient for pretty much any kind of outing: family meal, date, eating with friends. P.S: if you can't stand second hand smoke, I do not suggest sitting outside

  • 4/5 Narsil X. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place is located in the center of Dakar. Lebanese provides the cuisine service. have yummy pizzas. Dakar is also a point to eat to eat easily.

  • 3/5 Keith S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food but the service is absolutely terrible. 2 of the 5 staff present were actually doing their job but they actively avoid customers who wish to order. If they could fix the lack of service, 5 stars for sure. I'll still go back, because I love the food.

  • 5/5 Andre M. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. Really. And, given that Dakar is pretty expensive overall, this was quite in the middle. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Sego J. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent Middle Eastern restaurant in the heart of the Plateau. Efficient and polite service. Delicious food. And lovely terrace. The only downside was the loud and distorted music coming out of the terrace's speakers. We like Celine Dion but the canned music was so overpowering that we could we barely hear each other.

  • 1/5 Eytaff M. 6 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Went there in the night. If you enjoy food on the open terrace, be sure to get shisha flavor air around you. Food was barely fine. Was hungry so just ate but didn't bother to ask for takeaway for remaining food. For sure never going back.

  • 4/5 Julia L. 10 months ago on Google

  • 1/5 Bowo B. 1 year ago on Google
    We didn’t like their service on Christmas Eve I felt we were discriminated against by the restaurant's workers all the black ppl tables were left without assistance we where waiting for over 55 minutes to be served and the food that was brought to us was not menu that we ordered after asking us four times what we have ordered and customer service was worse at that night but the people who I saw that being served well was the Lebanese people and the Black people were left furious leaving their tables without being served their food I feel like the owner of this restaurant need to review his business very disappointment night after paying $200 for the dinner table

    Descent place but the accommodation isn't up to date.... Two floors display and a bunch of decoration... also it's an open space on the second floor.....

(Original) J'ai bien aimé, le personnel peut accueillant mais toujours a votre service quand vous êtes installé. Les plats étaient supérieurs fournis que mes yeux avaient déjà rempli mon ventre.

  • 2/5 Daniela Diaz F. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a terrible experience at L’Orintale two weeks ago. We arrived when it was pouring outside to find a group of men smoking chicha (despite the government’s prohibition) and cigarettes INSIDE. When we asked to speak to the supervisor he said it was “just for today”. I am pregnant and we have a 3 year old. We were forced to eat surrounded by toxic smoke (you can see it in my picture) and no one from the establishment did anything despite this being illegal and a health hazard. We will not come back.
