Maybe you should take your menus of sides down with the individual prices next to them. I just visited SW at Eastern Market and was told that I couldn’t buy plantains because they “need them for the meats”. As a vegan, I shouldn’t have to buy chicken to get plantains- especially when it’s a sign that states that a side of plantains are $3.00.

Spicy Water African Grill offers flavorful food that is well-seasoned and hot. The staff are friendly, though service can sometimes be slow. The restaurant emphasizes top-tier food with takeout options that include the popular half chicken, chicken sandwich, and cassava leaf and shrimp, all celebrated for their nice balance of flavors and heat. Recently, customers have raved about the chicken kebab sandwich, which is juicy and flavorful, especially with chipotle sauce. The jollof rice has also gained attention for being spicy and not too dry. The beef sandwich remains a favorite, made on French bread with tender, flavorful beef and generous portions. The chicken kebab salad and beef kebab continue to receive praise for being fresh and flavorful, particularly the salad, which is notably generous. The warm, soft bread served alongside enhances the delightful meal experience. However, some diners have noted that the service during dine-in can improve, as there have been instances of confusion with menus and slow order taking. The location is convenient, although navigating to the upstairs dining area can be a bit tricky. Despite these challenges, the quality of food keeps customers coming back for more.
