A food stand that always has a line. Tony had acarajé, "a falafel-like wad of crushed black-eyed peas, seasoned with brown brine shrimp and onions, deep-fried until crispy and golden, with chili spice in dendê oil".

"It’s last call, after all, at Acarajé da Dinha, a wood-frame food stall that serves the city’s rightly famous street food: acarajé. The line crawls. A pack of friends breaks into what I’ll call spirited debate over which of the city’s Baianas (Bahian women) hawks the most delicious take on this traditionally African recipe."

Good presentation but it's $17 for pretty cold flavourless shrimp. Also the staff weren't particularly interested in taking our order The major issue was that the shrimp were full of poop🤢

Took me on a culinary journey back to Nigeria, the roots of Akara, callled Akaraje in Brazil. As a Nigerian, I love my meals spicy, so this could use a little more spice. However, it was an amazing experience. Highly recommended, especially for Nigerians and Americans of African descent.

Food appears authentic and the spicy sauce is not to be taken lightly. This place is in a square with many chill bars and live music. I went on a Thursday and it was buzzing.

TLDR: -Food is flavorful, but decent at best -The falafel-like bread/buns were cold and hard. Seemed like they were mass produced -Questionable customer service -Got over charged for camaro (R$24) -I’d give it 3 stars for food, 1.5 star for experience I originally wanted to go to Acarajé da Regina (recommended by a local who grew up there), but they were closed from the rain, so I went to Dinha, another great option! When I went to their booth, I thought they were closed. I was never greeted, and all 3-4 workers stared at me with blank faces when I greeted ‘boa noite’ Fortunately, one of the local who worked nearby helped me. I don’t speak or understand Portuguese or Spanish. We were communicating with google translate. He’s eaten there and described to me what it was and said it costs R$15.50. When checking out, the older male who worked there overcharged me, R$24.

I like the shrimp in the acarajé. If you are allergic to seafood, tell them, because there is also seafood in the abbara.

Place where you can eat good acarajé (delicacy of Bahian cuisine)

The things we need to know about this place, which I didn't know, it is not a restaurant doesn't have place to sit other than a few public seat available. However there are couple of bars next to this place where you can sit and eat your Acaraje and order your drinks from them. They are OK with that and cool people serving and helping. As of May 2018 one acaraje with shrimps cost 10real. The taste is better than many other I have tried. If the weather is good you can also walk by the sea. Recomended area and eating place.

This is the most famous and reputedly most delicious acarajé stand in Salvador. Prices are very reasonable, R$13.50 for acarajé with shrimp served on a paper plate. Same price abará. Food was ready quickly and no line at 9pm on a Saturday night. As I'm not an expert on acarajé, I'll refer to the local opinion that this is the best place in Salvador. I found it to offer the same taste and quality as other places.
