10/10The Farci I ordered was a mashed fish baked inside a red bell pepper surrounded by diced tomato, onion, and a flavorful sauce. The small restaurant in Marais is elegantly decorated with art and memorabilia from Senegal. Soft and inviting African music played in the background. If you are in Paris, please try it!

10/10Having lived in Dakar, we were looking for some good theb and poulet yassa. Theb served on Fridays only, so we enjoyed the yassa and a sweet pepper stuffed with fish/herb mixture. Both were delicious and brought back the flavors of grand Dakar eating. Bissap was perfect: not too sweet, right amount of mint. Small resto with comfortable seating, beautiful colors, and quiet background music. Will come back on a Friday for the theb!

9.5/10Le Petit Dakar has great food. It is West African themed. I was in a party of three and we all enjoyed our dishes. The staff were super friendly and helpful with menu selections. As a non speaker of French,, I generally feel awkward and apologetic for my poor communication skills. However the staff at Le Petit Dakar made me feel completely at ease. Overall, I had a perfect meal and a lovely experience. I would definitely recommend it for a quiet and relaxed evening enjoying great food.

10/10The food, service and ambiance all were excellent. The mafe and yassa were delicious -very flavorful. We asked for hot chili sauce on the side to make it more traditional Senegalese and the sauce was a lovely spicy. A wonderful find in Paris.

10/10Really great restaurant! Only downside: apparently it was so popular, they ran out of ginger juice. Sound level varies, depending on how full the restaurant is, but remains a nice, relaxing atmosphere (with Senegalese music).
