Great ambience, cool vibe and good food. Menu offers good variety of choices. Recommend the steak sandwich and sweet potato fries. Good choices for my vegan friends too. Will definitely return for more.
My first visit to Cafe Rue Dix with my friends: summer in NYC, sweltering and sweaty, eating outdoors. I put a whole habanero pepper in my mouth mistakenly thinking it was a bell pepper. You’ve never lived until you’re alternating between crying, laughing, and wondering if you’re going to die in the street. Anyway, the fact that I still kept on insisting on shoving food in my face is a testament to how delicious everything was. I would recommend going with friends so you can share plates, and have a good spice tolerance, even if you don’t do anything as dumb as I did.
We ate here for lunch before visiting the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The food was great, a degree of heat in everything, which we really enjoyed. Look forward to visiting again for dinner.
The food was excellent but the service was not that great. One of the waiters was not super friendly when talking to us.We also paid 15$ of service fees and we don’t know what for. It doesn’t reflect the welcoming vibes I experienced in Senegal !The cocktails were delicious !
This is one of my favorite places in Brooklyn, not just Crown Heights. I took my lady there and we enjoyed the vibe, scrumptious food, cool Afro beats playlist, and solid service. I'll definitely be returning to try more deliciousity (yes, I just coined that term) throughout the menu.
True neighborhood gem serving up Senegalese deliciousness (read: fusion between West African and French cuisines)!Empanadas and the Lamb Chops were my personal favorites. The hot sauce was SO GOOD!!Restaurant sits in a cozy space on Bedford Ave with Senegalese music playing throughout. Quality service.Definitely worth a visit — spots like this are what makes Brooklyn food so unique and fun!!
Good food but bad vegetarian options. For whatever reason the vegetarian option is a mini-serving of food even though it's the same price it's probably around a quarter of the calories as the other entrée options. It seems like they got lazy and just made the gluten free, vegan and vegetarian option one dish and also decided it should be half the size of the other entrees.The bread pudding was great but this place is not really an option for vegetarians. If I had to guess they don't eat their vegetarian options and if they do they must weigh about 90 pounds.
5 Stars forsure! Drinks were phenomenal on top on the humble portions per dish, had the Veggie Stew which was a perfect Winter dish. Do not miss out on the Senegalese Empanadas either. One of the best meals in Prospect Heights
I’ve been here a few times and each time my experience was great. Everything I’ve tried on the menu has been good. The fataya and spring rolls are my favorite appetizers. The Dibe Senegal and Mafe are the best entrees that I’ve tried so far (no pics because I was too hungry lol). Be sure to check out the very cute shope next door, Marche Rue Dix.
My friends and I (party of 9) were actually pretty disappointed by the food here. A lot of the food was bland and over hyped. The calamari was very dry and not flavorful, the sauce helped since it has a nice spice. The chocolate lava cake was pretty good but small. The service was great.
