Ataya: Jasmine tea, mint, ginger✨

At Dakar Nola our brand and theme is Community.

The moment when folks arrive at our restaurant we serve them Ataya tea to open up their soul for the feast they going to receive. In Senegal, after we feed you in our home we tend to extend our hospitality by serving you Ataya. Because the moment they serve you the 1st cup you can’t leave until the 3rd cup which means they have you for another hour and a half. Hospitality means a lot to us at ✨
