African Food " Le Palmarin " in Genève

Still as good. The safe bet, one of my favorite restaurants in Geneva.

Delicious and very filling. We will come back!

Food always on top! Generous plates. Service, a little slow, but given the crowd... Thunderous atmosphere: normal broadcast of the Can, and victory for the DRC!🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩

From the savory Thieboudienne to the aromatic Yassa Chicken, each dish embodied the richness of Senegalese cuisine. Warm hospitality, vibrant ambiance, and a burst of authentic tastes left me craving a return to this culinary gem.

Disappointed by the mafé, good but nothing more

A delicious restaurant with friendly service. The dishes are tasty and generous.

Thank you for the wonderful reception at Le Palmarin! Your professionalism and commitment made the birthday party a great success. I am thoroughly satisfied with how everything was handled. Grateful for your excellent service!

great food and generous portions

Didi agneau is the best...of cause paired with aloko

If you are looking for an African restaurant this is the ideal place. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed. It's an eater's dish, if you can't finish it, ask for takeaway. Bon appetit !

Service was very prompt and we didn’t have to wait too long for the food to come. The food was delicious. I’d definitely visit again when next I’m in Geneva.

We arrived at this restaurant quite early. We were refused access, given that the restaurant was completely empty, claiming that we had to make a reservation because they were full.?????

I loved the food when I came here two years ago, so I was so excited to be able to come back here. I came at the time of opening (11:30 am), and it was closed. Someone came to open the restaurant at 11:34 am. She organized the groceries and was on the phone for fifteen minutes instead of giving me a menu and helping me get settled in. I would understand the situation if I came too early, but that was not the case. Maybe they should change the time of opening then. I will probably be back because the food is amazing, but I was very disappointed in the customer service.

If you are hungry this is the place to be

Amazing food every time! The lamb with plantain is the best!

Senegalese restaurant the best tieb in Geneva a little expensive for a traditional dish 25- but these are the prices in Switzerland

They pay very close attention to details, customer friendly. Tasty meal, serene environment 👌and a nice place to be with your family

The food is delicious and the service perfect. We find the warmth of Teranga there.

Very good restaurant, quality and quantity are there. And the prices are absolutely correct. I recommend with your eyes closed 👍

Literally THE BEST restaurant in town. The way they cook the dibi d'agneau, grilled and kind of smoked, is unparalleled in Switzerland. I've never been in Senegal, but if this is how they cook there I will certainly travel to that country! The Service is also friendly and welcoming, while the vibes push you to come back as much as possible. Sometimes they can be a bit slow but the wait is always well worth it. Ask for their special chilli sauce. It's true fire!

Food poisoning: on Saturday September 16 we came to eat in the middle of the afternoon with two friends and my baby less than a year old. All three of us were sick. And luckily I didn't let my son taste it. We took the bissap together. After reflection we realized that it was not cool and stored in plastic containers. We will not know where exactly this poisoning came from, but this message is made so that action can be taken by the owners. Because we are doing well, but if I had had the misfortune of giving my son a taste, we would have ended up in the emergency room! This isn’t the first time I’ve seen reviews mentioning the restaurant’s “hygiene,” but seen too late.

Very good shame that the yassa chicken was small

Best African restaurant in Geneva thank you good luck

I had a truly delicious experience at this restaurant! The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the staff was incredibly nice. Although the service was a little slow... Overall it was a positive experience that I would recommend to anyone!

I love this affordable restaurant with top food and service. Mercy

Excellent address in Geneva The dishes are of good quality and the service too. The bissap and ginger drink are excellent. Really had a good time. I'll be back. To discover. .

Very very good food!! I ate well, however I gave the service a 1 because the waitress (blonde shaved head) was very unpleasant and haughty. It's a shame…

We came from Gland this Monday to have lunch in your restaurant for the first time and found the door closed. Huge disappointment. It would be nice to update your opening dates and times out of respect for your customers.

Delicious, the welcome is very warm. Be careful, the portions are very generous, you can easily have a dish for two. There isn't really a vegetarian option, but you can make your own dish by ordering sides.

A great discovery, this restaurant offers very tasty traditional cuisine in an exotic setting.

The food is amazing. Price is extremely high.

Absolutely bad customer service, the staff have no manners and the service is very slow. The hygiene is also wanting!

This place has the worst customer service ever! First of all you call for service and the waiters keep ignoring you. Secondly, I waited to be given my bill and after a long while I decided to go to the counter to pay. While paying by card, one of the waiters grabbed my card, rubbed it on her trousers and scratched it on the card machine. What kind of audacity would someone have to snatch your personal belonging (bank card). I am still in absolute shock that these people thought it was so normal to behave that way. This kind of behaviour should be condemned and a more civilized approach should be considered when dealing with customers. Management should check their staff! Thanks!

The waiters and waitresses are extremely lousy. No sympathy, no smile. It looked like we were coming to beg. 13 people and we were treated without respect. We ordered 5 bottles of still water and a bottle of sparkling water and brought back 50cl bottles. I no longer have that, the waiters and waitresses were aggressive and so on. In short, I strongly advise against it. No sense of welcome!

Would say all of my friends were happy but i wasn’t convinced with my food. Tasted not so good, some weird spice that never tasted in a chicken yasa before but maybe it’s just because i don’t know much about african food. The staff was friendly so thats a good point.

I loved the Dibi (grilled lamb and plantain) at this restaurant, The service went from good to horrible in a few years. Same goes for the home delivery is also great. The restaurant changed management and unfortunately, the restaurant became undesirable.

The dishes are absolutely delicious. The fish was a treat. Very attractive prices and fast service.

Top Senegalese restaurant, welcoming, smiling!

Best braised fish! Discreet but pleasant staff and a great atmosphere.

Improve the schep gouêne Reduce service duration Good cooking of Djibi meals. Ras.

Friendly staff. Very good cuisine.

Having come with my wife and my young daughter, we were made to wait 15 minutes (we had reservations) while the staff walked past us without the slightest attention and not even a hello!! In addition, the cuisine was not great even though we were very loyal customers and came occasionally! Huge disappointment !

Great restaurant. Very well eaten. Good atmosphere and smiling staff.

Good, well-stocked dishes, good drinks and a clean and warm place! The must ? Affordable prices! I recommend !

Having a restaurant means knowing how to welcome and serve customers. Things that are very neglected at Palmarin. A smile is free and it's always a pleasure, especially when someone comes to consume at your place. I have been to this restaurant 3 times and 3 times above the reception. The dishes are delicious but the atmosphere is not pleasant at all. The waitress did not check the condition of the glasses and we were treated to a broken glass, we found the service sloppy. Not to mention the somewhat sloppy decoration and the paintings poorly attached to the wall. In short, you will understand that apart from the dishes, we were very disappointed because the potential of this place is just extraordinary, a shame to neglect it.

We are well received there, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Highly recommend this place! Their plantains and grilled tilapia is the bomb. They give huge portions too.

Good restaurant with food from Senegal. Mafé, thiéboudiène, etc. Tasty, good portions, nice place, nice staff.

Magnificent Fish-Rice Combo! I recommend

Very very very good, warm welcome.

The dishes are excellent, nothing to say! On the other hand, the welcome... service... “what does she want? » from the waitress, average. No good evening from the waiters and we had 3, no response to our good evening lol. Too bad because the dishes are good!

La Palmarin has had a makeover and now has a very large surface area, beautiful African decoration and always impeccable service. All hygiene rules are respected and the waiting time is reasonable. I highly recommend it to those who want to taste the authentic flavors of Senegal.

I enjoyed the African dishes, thank you

First time eating Senegales food. It was delicious. Fresh and deliciously prepared food. Had the rice with fish and vegetables. Could not stop myself from enjoying and savouring the flavours of each mouthful. The fish was superbly marinated.The ambiance was vibrant and exciting. Delivery was fast. My only two complaint is that they need more waiters to clear up and follow up with desert orders. And my friend was on a blood free diet and they could not offer prawn sauce with rice, as they had meat stew. That was strange as they had seafood salad with prawns.

Great place for some African cuisine.

Horrible service. I spent over an hour waiting for my food only to watch people order the same thing and get their food. When I placed the ordered they quoted me 20 minutes. Every time I would ask, I was told 5 minutes, until I had waited for over an hour and they then told me 15 minutes. No apologies, no thanks for my patience. I will never return to this establishment. Horrible!

Really GOOD VIBES...an awsomel spot to just chill enjoy some GREAT FOOD and you company..the staff is really friendly🤞🏽🥂❤️

Excellent restaurant Total change of scenery Top service Heartwarming welcome The Mafé was incredible Extremely tender meat and lots of flavor! Extremely reasonable price and very generous dish. A good price-performance ratio Go for it! It's a delight We can't wait to go back :)

It was really a great evening. I discovered a new universe there.

Great place, good welcome, good food and very varied. Highly recommended 😉

Abject food, cold, and reheated, the degue is not even cooked and the donuts are inedible

Good food but in the evening many dishes were sold out + the waitress with the bun was very rude

After 45 minutes of waiting, not even drinks, it's scandalous. I was happy to be able to eat but frankly the service wasn't great. There were fewer cutlery items that were poorly washed. I had to beg for a jug of water, unheard of. I actually went to drink in the toilet because the wait was so unbearable. At the end of the meal my dear had to go and get the carafe of water himself, asking for it from the start of the meal in order to end up with a carafe of lukewarm water, no, but that's the problem.

Average prices, Healthy large portions, Small menu choices. Good place for take-away as restaurant isn't particularly charming with a dim ambience, average taste but served fresh. Ginger drink really nice.

Best African restaurant in town

Excellent yassa chicken. The portions are very generous for a more than reasonable price. Friendly setting and relaxed atmosphere.

New location, same marvelous food. I highly recommend

Service a little slow but it doesn't matter, the rest is great!

Has this restaurant changed managers? It's very neglected, too long a wait, average cuisine, and questionable hygiene, tools along the bar with glue, clothes everywhere, cutlery not very clean and uncovered in the middle of the passage. When you are lucky enough to have a restaurant, you have to act as if the presidents came to eat there every day. There clearly, it is intended for the friend from the country who comes to eat. The positive point is that some dishes are good.

The dishes are very tasty and generous. No 5/5 pcq the lady serving is not very pleasant.

Enjoyed one of the best African dishes from a sénégalais perspective. Super bien! I Will recommend you any day, any time

Great food. The portions served are also good in size.

Tasty and fresh food!!! Friendly staff and atmosphere.

Yesterday I had mafé with my daughter. Top not to change. We came across a waitress called Marie. A welcome and kindness never seen before for my part. I only eat where I feel good. And this is the case with you.

After an hour of waiting, for an alloco braised chicken attiéké to take away. Very disappointing. Arrival at home/hotel (because I live in the States)... The dish had no taste and no alloco and the chicken was poorly cooked. And the staff sees you waiting and doesn't even offer a water worm.

Super good. Generous portions, affordable price. Never disappointed

Excellent restaurant for Senegalese and African food

Outstanding restaurant!! Food was absolutely delicious! Great atmosphere and service TOP NOTCH! Highly recommend.

Excellent Mafé and succulent yassa chicken in a warm atmosphere. To recommend without hesitation !

I do not recommend their Delivery service, in fact, it is up to you to run after them. It's been almost 2.5 hours since my order waited in their restaurant to finally be delivered. They ask you the same questions every time they call because they probably don't note anything and they tell you that it's the customer's mistake by hanging up on you... Politeness is not their strong suit and I will receive the food 3 hours minimum after the first call...the food remains very good that said.

A very good restaurant the dishes are delicious I recommend if you are in the Geneva area and surrounding areas go for it and you will enjoy it

Very good address in the heart of Pâquis, where you can eat Senegalese specialties. Generous plates and very pleasant service!

Very cool good Senegalese dish good fish thiep and quite a few African dishes I love the skillful is super nice cool people the atmosphere is superb I like it I liked

Very nice place, beautiful, clean, friendly even with family and the food is very good. Recommendation +++

Senegalese restaurant. Very well prepared and tasty dishes. Service is slow but pleasant staff. Very attractive price quality. There is a beautiful terrace and a beautiful typical African decoration.

Unlikely place in Switzerland. A warm and very friendly welcome. A setting that lets you travel to Africa. Very careful and above all delicious 😋. I invite you to go there on your next visit to Switzerland.

We waited 1h30 before being served and the lamb dibi now consists of 4 very small chops and a pile of fries which covers 3/4 of the plate. The disappointment is immense because we have been coming to this restaurant for a long time... Note that the smile of the staff is always required. The pill goes better. To avoid.

Very popular venue dedicated to central Africa specialities Delicious fishes dishes and spicy chicken Very affordable prices Refreshing non alcoholic beverages Very comfortable terrace Service is friendly

Delicious and hearty dishes. I hope they never change the quality and quantity. The price is fair.

Great Senegalese food. Everyone should try

I found the food delicious and the waitress very friendly. I can’t wait to go back because there are so many dishes on the menu that look appetizing!

I put 4 for not ruining the thing and I generally come to Geneva for your dish... very very disappointed the atieke was not great and my dibi burned unfortunately I didn't take a photo and I think it's is a good thing for you because I think it would scare customers away to see a burnt dish and 80 francs gone in the trash

Very good service, delicious food!

The maffé is super good, watch out for the pepper, it’s very very strong

Very welcoming and friendly staff. A mafé with deliciously tender beef and a dhibi to die for! A must-see address in Geneva!

Fantastic Senegalese food which will leave you very full! The lamb chops were really tasty and beware that the red pepper sauce is chilllyyy (but tasty). Also the ambiance was lovely. Yes there was a bit of a wait but I expected it knowing how long African food generally takes to cook. The place was clean and service was friendly too. My cousin who took me here said the place gets reaaaalllyyyy busy at weekends and I understand why. I would definitely recommend and I hope Geneva begins to open more African restaurants! ✊🏾 P.S. can you make yourselves known on social media so I can tag the place on Instagram when I come back. X

This is some of the best tasting food in Geneva. I'm talking top 2 and it's not coming second. The portion sizes? Great Service? Fast and polite Flavour? 10000/10 If you want delicious food and well seasoned food in Geneva, this is it.

Not just the best Senegalese restaurant, but this is my favorite restaurant in all of Geneva. My mouth waters just thinking about their lamb Dibi. The Mafe is really good also. Tip: when you order for pickup the portion is more than when you done in.

They delivered a mixture of good and rotting agneau.....disgusting!!! This is super disappointing considering we ordered over 20 plates of food.

Delicious meal and the owner is very friendly!
