Au petit Sénégal j'ai trouvé un très bon service à la clientèle. La personne à l'accueil du nom de Zita est très sympathique & très gentille. Le repas est très bon avec un bon goût & en quantité suffisant. Le restaurant est vraiment propre avec une bonne ambiance.

The food was excellent! I had the lamb Dibi which was delicious & some of the best I've had outside of Senegal. Unfortunately, the service was horrible. I don't know if they were understaffed or what, but the tables weren't clean & we had to ask someone to clean it before we could seat. The waiter was unpleasant & didn't make us feel welcome. It's a true shame given the quality of the food, if the service improved it could easily be 5 stars. Food is important but so is the service !
Pour ma part cela fait plusieurs fois que je vais manger là-bas & j'ai n'ai pas eu de mauvais expérience à part sur Uber Eats ou un items manquait mais sans problème je me suis faites rembourser & recommander car les erreurs arrivent mais les plats sont super bon on nous sourit à chq fois & l'ambiance est agréable .
