Umm yes and yes! The lamb chops were perfectly spiced and cooked. The jollof rice was good but not really spicy. I ordered via DoorDash and would definitely order this again.

Food was so good, I was dancing the wholeTime while I was eating ?The beef suya was really tender, and it was the extra hot but I could tolerate it. The jollof was great and smoky flavor (party rice). The plantains were extra ripe and the way I like it. I am of Nicaraguan decent and enjoy maduros so if you like ripe ripe plantains then you will love them. The Zobo-lemonade was so good. I wonder if they make it in house. Nicaraguans drink it too but we call it “Jamaica”. The efo riro was great, small portion but great flavor. The suya wings were crispy and flavorful, I prefer flats so that’s the only thing that could have been better. Yeah, I’m doing the hour drive for spice kitchen very soon!!

Ordered here yesterday and the plantains were fermented/ rancid. So disappointing for my first time. Everything else was fine. Ordered online and picked up. Staff were meticulously checking orders which I appreciated- guess there was no way of knowing the plantain was bad?

I was looking forward to eat from this restaurant ,we had a party at work and we all decided to eat from the restaurant. The food was not well seasoned . The salmon didn't taste well and the chicken too. I ate half of the food and had a stomach upset all night. The plantain looked disgusting ,nothing about the food express African or west African culture no one was happy with the food in the office. If you have a sensitive stomach don't try the food

I stopped by this establishment on a whim, just because the name intrigued me. Let me say, I was not disappointed. The decor, the afrobeats music, and the staff were great! Not to mention the amazing smell of the food upon entering. Marcus assisted me with using the kiosk to order my food and gave excellent advice and suggestions. I ordered the salmon and shrimp plate with jollof rice and spinach. My food was absolutely amazing! My only complaint was that they did not have any puff-puff. I didn't share any pictures because by the time I thought about it, half of my food was already devoured! I will most definitely visit Spice Kitchen in Hyattsville again and have already recommended them to a few friends, family, and co-workers.

Wow, so I have been wanting to try this place for a very long time now, especially after hearing about it from peers and other Yelpers! I placed an order online via the portal and ordered spiced wings, a lamb suya plate, and a salmon suya plate. What is cool is that you can choose your spice level for anything you order, and with the suya plates you can choose up to two sides. I chose a side of joloff rice and plantains for the lamb chops, and a side of joloff rice and egusi spinach for the salmon. I also ordered a side of stew to drizzle over my rice. Upon picking up my food, I could see the restaurant was packed, which is always a good sign. The ambiance was very lively and upbeat, imagine the inside of a Nando's. The service was okay and could be better, the people at the register kind of lingered and stood around before finally asking me "How they could help me." Greet your customers as soon as they arrive to the counter, and ask how you can help them, this makes a huge difference in the customer experience! Now onto the food, the spice wings were beyond delicious! Fried to a crisp and seasoned well. I haven't had wings this delicious in a very long time! The salmon suya, oh my gosh!!! Generous portions, salmon was juicy and seasoned well! The joloff rice was moist and flavorful, and the egusi spinach was fresh and flavorful as well! The lamb chops were bountiful and juicy, and the plantains were sweet and melted in your mouth! The stew that I added on top of my rice was beyond rich and had a light spice kick to it! All in all, I really enjoyed this place!!! Touch up the customer service, and we are looking at 5 stars! Cheers to good eats!
This food is ridiculously good - like, it doesn't even make sense. After eating it once, you'll crave it again. The portions are good, and the flavors are on point. And don't get me started on the lamb chops - they're absolutely bomb. Just go check this spot out, you won't regret it. Also the customer service was on point. The restaurant was pretty nice too if you wanted to eat in .
