Miss Toya's Southern Kitchen

A Soul-Food Gem on Pennsylvania Avenue!

As a foodie who’s always on the hunt for fresh, heartfelt cuisine — especially soul food — my first visit to Miss Toya’s in SE, Washington DC was an absolute delight. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food hit the mark.

Because for me, a great soul-food experience means more than just good seasoning — it means warmth, genuine hospitality, fresh ingredients, and a place you can bring your loved ones. Miss Toya’s delivered on all fronts. I can’t wait to go back and try even more dishes, explore more of their menu options, and savour everything that struck me so memorably on this first visit.

If you’re looking for a soul-food spot in DC that combines flavor, atmosphere and service with a family-friendly feel, Miss Toya’s is definitely worth the stop.

The food is DELICIOUS! The staff was very welcoming and friendly, and you could see the care and dedication they gave to each customer. It felt like dining with family and friends with the drinks and music flowing throughout. The vibes were absolutely immaculate. I came here with my family after my wedding and our server Erika was so sweet and took care of us very well.

The food was terrific. I was visiting from out of town, and Erika helped me and picked the best meal 10 out of 10. I will visit again when I come back to D.C.
