Dibiteries de Dakar

Dibiteries are popular grill houses where dibi—usually mutton, sometimes chicken or beef—is cooked over fire and served simply with onions, mustard, bread or a side. This page explains the Dakar dibiterie experience without endorsing an unverified venue.

Things to see and do

• Watch the fire cooking and choose the cut before slicing
• Clearly ask which meat is served and the portion size
• Try dibi with onions, mustard and bread depending on the venue
• Choose a busy dibiterie where food is cooked to order

Good to know

Confirm the price before ordering and request well-cooked meat. The photos show Hausa dibiteries in Dakar and do not invent a commercial restaurant.
