African Restaurants in Washington, DC

“There was a reason why I was anticipating to go to Dōgon... It was too good!
I was excited to finally snag a reservation for myself and my significant other. Reservations are highly recommended if you want to avoid a long wait. When we arrived for our reservation, we received a warm welcome and we were escorted to a lounge area as our table wasn't ready. The lounge was intimate, plus there was a cocktail menu. We were able to start off with drinks first. We were here for about 15-20 minutes before being seated.

Once we arrived to our table, our server was pleasant and knowledgeable of the entire menu in detail. We shared the cornbread, hoe crab and fried whitting sliders to start---chef's kiss. I then enjoyed the oxtail dish that came with a side of rice peas. This dish was so flavorful! Lastly, we finished off with the rum cake which had a perfect balance of sweet and savory. I loved my experience and can't wait to go back!“

“Money well spent, waiters and staff were courteous. Food was delicious!“

“Was fortunate to see their tent at the Capital Harvest at the Plaza. We tried the chicken kebab salad and beef kebab. Everything was so flavorful and FRESH! The salad was delicious. Even the bread is really good! And their portions are generous- especially on the salad. I highly recommend!“

“We went for lunch and were the only customers there so I was tempted to leave but boy am I glad we stayed! The food was so tasty and well seasoned! Probably one of the best Ethiopian meals we’ve had. Ever! And the ladies who worked there were so nice! Highly recommend! You won’t regret it!!!“

“Went to order food from another place and saw that they were making fresh puff puff samples for people passing by. I came inside to order Suya and it was worth it. The place is well decorated. They were playing Afro beats. This place is a definite vibe. Will be back to experience the lounge.“

“Sometimes the best meals can be found in an industrial park in Beltsville. I also learned that this restaurant offers a Nigerian twist on shawarma. This meal consisted of the mouthwatering supreme shawarma with a side of fried sweet potatoes“

“Vegetarian options: I had the option to choose what I wanted on my meal.

Kid-friendliness: Space for the kids to stand , run around
