Darboe's Restaurant
Darboe's Bar and Restaurant
A rare Gambian-owned restaurant on Senegambia Boulevard, serving hearty home-style Gambian food, with live bands often playing in the evening.
Located on a side street off Senegambia Boulevard, it is one of the few Gambian-run restaurants in the area. Owner Lamin Darboe often greets guests at the door and sometimes sings on stage himself. The menu is mainly Gambian: chicken yassa, beef benachin, domoda and local rice dishes are well reviewed, along with fresh fish and some European dishes. The food is fresh, affordable and generously portioned. From about 21:30 each evening, live bands perform. Service can be slow during peak-season dinner hours. No reservation needed.
