👍👍 Great place right on the water. Relaxed, chill beach bar vibe. They have surprisingly solid sushi, which we enjoyed. Good place for a lunch with a view! Definitely would go back. People often mention good, view, sushi, service, beach, restaurant, Dakar, order, Good, great,

    Decent food with a killer view right on the beach. The sushi was pretty good, although a little expensive (that's the price you pay to get fresh sushi in Western Africa). Right on the beach, we enjoyed drinks while watching the surfers and sunset. Service was on par with the rest of Dakar but we enjoyed the slower pace. Hookahs are available as well.

    (Translated by Google) Good welcome, warm staff. As for meals, the escalope was good but a little bland, with the seasonings it went very well. I liked it a lot overall. I will definitely come back. (Original) Bon acceuil, personnel chaleureux. Côté repas, l'escalope était bon mais un peu fade, avec les assaisonnements ça allait très bien. J'ai bcp aimé dans l'ensemble. J'y reviendrai sûrement.

    Awesome place! The ocean view is remarkable!!! The food selection is okay and reasonably priced for the area, and the staff is always friendly. I will recommend it, especially during the day to enjoy the view 👌🏾

    Classy layout of the whole restaurant. Open, light, right on the beach. Sushi menu extensive and fresh! Disappointed that almost the entire sushi menu uses avocado but they had run out on the night. Attentive waiters and a very enjoyable eating experience

  • 5/5 Tamekia S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite places in Dakar. The staff is pleasant the view is amazing and the sushi is delicious.

  • 3/5 Shuan 5 years ago on Google
    The seaside view is nice, the service was average, the food was good but [too] pricey, not a good value for money. If you combine the visit to this place with some laisure activity in the sea then it might be a justified visit. I would not go the whole way to this place just fro its sea view, there are better restaurants in the city.

    The best place to be surrounded with life and the best staff ever!!!! My favorite place in Senegal. LOVE😍😍😍❤❤💖❤❤❤ I can't visit Dakar without going to Sharky's!!!.. FYI don't still my pictures😂

  • 5/5 Nomad U. 2 years ago on Google
    Totally local. Unpretentious, and laid back atmosphere. We go maybe 1-2 times a month, to catch the afternoon breeze, watch the surfers, and eat sushi. Just went again last weekend. Food is consistent and tasty. Great selection of sushi combos, sashimi, salads, yakitori, nems, and dumplings. Some specialty rolls. I usually get the hot philly roll, the salmon salad and salmon sushi combo, No15. They have pasta and burgers, lots of options. So the mixed drinks aren't memorable, but they have cold beer. Service is pretty quick. There are lots of hawkers. Once you make eye contact, they come over to try to sell you whatever they have, xylophones, guitars, fabric, whatever. There is off street parking, and lots of seating options. Its right on the beach. Great sunsets. One horribly annoying thing now are the flies. A tremendous number of flies landing everywhere. The food, your drinks, your face. Maybe it's periodic. I donno, but super annoying, a bit disgusting. It's increased recently. I think I trapped maybe 30 in my 1/4 empty beer glass. Yeah, I know it's west Africa, but they need fans, or something. This is Dakar not Niamey. Sucks to see a platter of tasty raw sushi, right in front of you, with nasty flies buzzing around. They are landing on it while you're trying to balance your chopsticks holding your sushi & trying to dip it in the the soy sauce. They're dive bomb into the soy sauce like Kamikaze pilots. We will still go back but I'll bring some type of fly paper or something. I found keeping a 1/4 empty cup of beer nearby helps. They fly in the glass, and then I can trap them with a coaster, shake up the glass and the b@st@rd$ drown. Also They really need to ge their credit card reader to work. They have one, but lately they have been saying they have no connection. I think they just don't want customers to have that option.

    I have eaten at Sharky 3 times, yesterday I took 8 friends to Sharky. but the service was very bad, my friend ordered Tori udon which came instead of tempura soup. then my friend's vegie order didn't come for an hour and the waiter got angry, he said he had come. after we wanted to pay it turned out that there were 2 vegie bills and your supervisor really made us sick, we won't come again to sharky if the management is not replaced

  • 5/5 Benjamin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed a good dinner here recently and had a great time. Food was great and the grilled jumbo shrimps are very delicious. Ambience is great by the beach and you can enjoy a group dinner with friends or an intimate dinner with your loved one. They cater to various cuisines and you will definitely find something to suit your taste.

  • 2/5 Ahmed H. 1 year ago on Google
    I was always going to Sharky’s during my stays at Dakar but the last time I decided to never go there again. The place is literally an excellent environment for big cockroaches and even flying cockroaches. The reason is that the owner did a stupid idea of building a wooden structure nearby the water and that’s why cockroaches love it a lot. I was trying to deal with this disadvantage but last time cockroaches were going on my pants and there were some Lebanese guests who left the place immediately because cockroaches were going over their cloths. It’s not a good place unless you like the fuck’in cockroaches

  • 4/5 Thomas R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food. Maybe a bit pricy. Good service although we asked twice for the menu to order again and we never got one.

  • 4/5 Stan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for sushi or pub food on the beach. Sushi menu is extensive with many mainstay and more local options. Very large selection of liquors and mixed drinks but the beer selection is somewhat limited. Atmosphere is very nice with the proximity to the water. Recommend for a very casual and relaxing experience with a nice food selection at a reasonable price.

    Great little beach restaurant. Beer from tap.

  • 1/5 Tracy B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have ordered delivery 2 times using the Dakar Food delivery app. Both experiences have been poor. This most recent order I am currently waiting for over 2 hours. I have called to ask about the order and have been hung up on 3 times. Yes, there is a language barrier. However instead of trying to get help or problem solve, the person on the phone hung up on me repeatedly. I don’t even know if the order is coming. Thanks but no thanks. I can’t think of any meal worth waiting over 2 hours for. Update: the order was placed at 17:12. The food has arrived at 19:55. The hot food is cold and the whole order is in poor condition. My advice; a void delivery.

    Had a large party enjoy dinner here on a Friday night. The menu is eclectic, but everyone enjoyed everything they tried.

  • 5/5 Lyndon H. 1 year ago on Google
    I just spent 4 days in Dakar, Senegal, with bad food experiences. Sharky's food was, by far, the very best, and not only from a Dakar perspective. Tonight, I had a flame-grilled whole Groupe fish at Sharky's, which was the best grilled Groupe I've ever had in my life. The soft reggae music in the background and the scenic seaside view, made the total experience exceptional.

  • 4/5 Mima S. 11 months ago on Google
    Sharkys is a place my team and I love going to every Friday because it gives us the right environment to distress from a long week of hard work. Feeling the sand under your feet while chatting with your colleagues and bosses is wonderful. However, there are a few things we do not really like here. The first is the dirty seat pads. For the last 3 years we've been going to Sharkys, these seat pads have been the same. Well, it used to look better, but now they have been completely neglected, and they look as dirty as ever. The second thing is the food, very poor menu, unless of course for the sushi lovers. Third thing is the service, sometimes, the wonderful person who takes your orders and serves you your first drink, disappears and you have to wait until he or she decides to show up after 15min or so then you can call him or her to serve you another drink or just call the attention of one of his colleagues passing by or serving other tables. The fourth and the really terrible one is the sellers. I appreciate the fact that our brothers and sisters are trying to make a descent living, but the repeated harassment is just unbearable. The same people come to you over and over again trying to convince you to buy their items even when you politely told them a few minutes ago that you were not interested. The singers, with their beautiful welcoming melodies, always want you to have an extra budget for them when you are going to Sharkys. This really causes some people not to want to go to Sharkys again.

    A cool place by the beach at Almadies Dakar. Food was ok but service not very much so, location is superb with a view to the Atlantic ocean looking at surfers enjoying their experience. The restaurant can do a lot better with their majestic location though.

    My rating is biased because I did not eat at this place. But what an energy, what a vibe. Such beautiful scenery. Plenty of seating options, great bar selection. I was very happy here. Just pack some mosquito repellant. Trust me on that one oh and a warm jacket wouldn't hurt during spring.
