Darou Salam African Halal Restaurant - Senegalese cuisine,

4163 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45223, United States

"The best I’ve had in the city (Poulet Braise) !!"

"Food Hasn't been the same (inconsistent) the last couple of years. 50/50 Overcooked, burnt Fish and overcooked Lamb (more than usual and hard to chew). Dried couscous. When paying for 3 to 4 dinners at about $16 each, and everyone cannot enjoy their food - not acceptable at times."

"The sauce was good, but it was served with a big chunk of dry beef. I usually have it with lambs meat. The taste was off. I haven't had this dish in years. It was very disappointing and upsetting. I ordered it from DoorDash and it was cold and it's only 18min away. Not sure if it's the restaurant or the Dasher."

"The outdoor seating area is very peaceful. You can sit under their covered area or out under the trees. When I tell you the Mafè was the BEST I had ever had. My word it was tasty. My husband took my leftovers instead of eating his own because he loved it so much. We will definitely return when we have business in Cincinnati again."

"Dropped by for lunch while in the area and was very impressed by this hole in the wall spot. we ordered the lanb and the fish dish. The flavors were very unique and unlike any dishes we have tried before. The jollof rice is exquisitely seasoned and the rice is an interesting texture, each grain is a lot smaller and firmer than basmati rice and almost feels like bulgur grains. The sauces were very savory and complex. the lamb was perfectly barbecued and brisket-like. Also got a smoothie and a hibiscus drink, both very interesting and complex flavors, hints of orange blossom and a starchy potato (taro? yukka?) in the smoothie and the hibiscus was extremely different than the hibiscus tea drinks commonly sold. We dined in and had come in around 1 PM, half an hour after opening. the restraint was quiet and there was just one person there getting a pick up order. The chairs were all pulled on to the table and there was no one dining in, but we got our food at the counter and then pulled out chairs to sit. No other diners came in during the lunch hour, so it was quiet and we had the place to ourselves. The food was served in to go boxes even though we were dining in, seems as if most of the lunch customers are take out orders (there were several pick ups while we were in store). There is also some very cute cozy seating in the front yard of the restaurant, it was too cold when we came to sit outside unfortunately. definitely would recommend, this is a hidden gem."
