We have been visiting NGala Lodge for 20 years and always think of it as a special place where everything is just perfect and all our family see it as a real treat. However it is most certainly not the place it was. We have seen various chefs, owners, management and front of house come and go and although the setting is still lovely nothing else is. None of the choices I made for my three courses were available and the ones I eventually settled for were disappointing. The fish I chose for my main course was over cooked and dry and the pudding inedible. The bill, for The Gambia, was expensive at almost £50 per head. By contrast we visited a tiny and very basic roadside cafe with a friend and had the most superb grilled and marinated gambas with a delightful and carefully prepared salad and home cooked chips followed by the best chocolate brownie I have ever eaten for under £8. NGala used to be a very special place, it no longer is .We are very sorry that your experience this time was not as it has been in the past. Quality supplies are our biggest problem, but that does not excuss us for the cooking standards. I am sorry.

Situated on the 'chic-er' side of the strip, The Kora has been dubbed the little oasis in the heart of the sometimes manic village of the Senegambia area. Serving a varied and international choice of cuisine, The Kora mainly focuses on a grilled style of

Located just off the main Senagambia strip opposite Scala, the Kora is an excellent plane to eat. The service was very friendly and high quality and the flavours in the food were outstanding. So far our favourite restaurant of the holiday.

When we went to Poco Loco it was not to busy. The waiter came to us before we found a table and presented us the menu. Looking at the menu I saw broodje kroket, bitterballen en vlammetjes (typical Dutch snacks). When asking the owner if Poco Loca has a Dutch owner, he smiled and agreed. The burgers we eat were okee, nothing special about that. Maybe it's me, I was expecting something more special, more Gambia in the burger and/or bun.

We dined here twice during our recent stay in The Gambia.The first time was very good ....great food, good service, extremely reasonable prices and a lovely sauvignon blanc for 550 dalasis.The 2nd time we dined here, service was good and the food seemed fine -- my wife had fish and chips and I had spaghetti bolognaise and I had a lovely apple crumble for dessert.However at about 4am, I started getting stomach cramps and severe problems with my digestive system..... I'll spare readers the details.I felt awful and problems continued right throughout the day and even now 3 days later, whilst much improved, am still not fully recovered.I can only put this down to the meal at this restaurant.....my wife was unaffected and apart from this meal, we had eaten the same food in the previous 24 hours.I am very sorry to post a negative review as it was one of our favourite eating places in Kololi and we have eaten here perhaps 5 times in 2previous visits to the Gambia.

I have been coming to Gambia for a number of years with friends.On this occasion I was eating on my own and did not welcome the manager hugging me across the shoulder..too familiar for someone I've never met before.I ordered a chicken dish and the chicken was so tough I couldn't finish it.One place to avoid.

Been to this restaurant before 5 years ago and were so pleased when it was still here. Food and drink order was taken quickly. Lots of choice on the menu. I had a steak and it was perfect. All the food came out at the same time. Quality was excellent. After we had finished we were given complimentary pineapple and water melon. A nice touch. Loved this restaurant last visit, loved it again. Would definitely recommend.

The previous positive reviews are 100% correct regarding this small restaurant situated on the busy main highway through Kololi. The restaurant has tables inside and outside in a small sectioned off part of the car park. This area has been tastefully laid out with large plants. The menu has selections of Gambian cuisine, steaks and fish dishes; there is a nice selection of starters and desserts. Cocktails are excellent and probably the best value in Kololi (200 dalasi or £3.30)The fish platter consisting of 4 various sorts of fish/shellfish was terrific at around 700 dalasi (£11), the lobster spring roll starters and lemon sole main course was very good at about the same price for both. Service is first class and swift. Loved it.
