Affordable Lunch in Dakar at Ge'eza, Point E
Affordable lunch in Dakar at Ge'eza: a Senegalese dish of the day at 5,500 F with a drink and attaya, fasting dishes from 5,000 F, lentil sambusas at 1,500 F, fataya at 500 F.
For an affordable lunch in Dakar, Ge'eza offers the Senegalese dish of the day at 5,500 F, Tuesday to Friday, drink and attaya included, and several Ethiopian fasting dishes between 5,000 and 5,500 F the rest of the week. Starters such as fataya at 500 F or lentil sambusas at 1,500 F round out a simple meal without pushing up the bill.
The dish of the day, the most complete option
Tuesday to Friday, at midday only, the Senegalese dish of the day at 5,500 F includes the dish, a water or local juice, and attaya. It changes every day: mafé on Tuesday, thiéboudienne on Wednesday, supou kanja on Thursday, chicken yassa on Friday. The weekly detail is in Senegalese dish of the day. One price, one decision, and a full meal with nothing else to add.
Fasting dishes, from 5,000 F
Outside those days, or for anyone who prefers Ethiopian food, the vegan fasting dishes remain the most affordable items on the menu: gomen and key sir at 5,000 F, fosolia tibs at 5,000 F, shiro wot, misir wot, tikil gomen and alicha ater kik at 5,500 F. One of these dishes, with a little injera, is enough for a light, complete lunch.
Putting together a meal under 7,000 F
For anyone who wants to try a few things without spending much, lentil sambusas, vegan, are 1,500 F for two pieces, and fataya, a Senegalese pastry, is 500 F for two pieces. A fataya with a bissap, ginger or bouye juice at 1,500 F makes a light lunch for 2,000 F. A fasting dish at 5,000 F with an Ethiopian tea at 2,000 F comes to 7,000 F, hot drink included.
For one person or a small group
The Senegalese dish of the day remains the simplest option for one person on a weekday. For a small group that wants to share, two or three fasting dishes brought together on one injera, in the style of beyaynetu, often work out cheaper per person than ordering a meat dish each, while still being filling.
