The food is Amazing! My wife and I were looking for some good African food and we discovered a hidden gem. We had the Egusi, cassava leaf and okra. All five stars! The method of delivery was a little untraditional but I’m glad we trusted the process.

Ethnic & Authentic - Amazing food & Personable staff -- my fav place to get W African food

Really great food, with nothing coming close to the taste. However the restaurant has been closed for awhile and he’s still available but prices are too high.

Recommended dishes: Cassava Leaf with Goat over White Rice

I ordered jollof with chicken and egusi soup with beef. The Jollof was pretty tasty. However the Egusi soup was TERRIBLE. It smelled rancid and old. I could not even eat it because it smelled so bad. And it was very expensive. I called the owner and told him it didn’t smell too good and the first bite was terrible, he told me no one ever complained about it before. If you’re looking for good and fresh food this is not it.

I went there for food but their kitchen was closed but good said it's was open

I've a customer for more 15 years, and I have taken family friends and clients of mine to eat there. Very hospital and their like family. I love the Crocker fish with the tomato sauce, potato leaf, and the cusava. I was introduced to ginger beer at this very place and drink this healthy mix til this day. I miss going there

I remember enjoying their food when I lived in N.W. everything was delicious! Sumah and his wife Amara was always professional and friendly. I’ve read the reviews and it says they’re taking orders and the pick up location is Bowie,MD. As much as I love their cooking, I’m going to pass on that one. I’ll wait until the original location on 7th st. to reopen. I’m going order everything on the menu! Sending my prayers to the family.??❤️

THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOOD EVER!!!!!!! I get the Jollof rice and chicken Casava wow he can COOK

The food was so delicious it made my soul smile? I ordered the okra soup, fufu, palm butter and cassava leaf. It was so fresh and flavorful, thanks Sumah for such a great experience. I will definitely eat here every time I visit DC.
