African Restaurants near Gaithersburg, MD

“I have eaten here twice and I have not been disappointed! I purchased the goat meat stew and it delicious! The best sauce I have had in the states so far. It’s good, convenient, and the staff are approachable and kindly responds to inquiries.“

“I had the amala, ewedu and stew, and I was honestly impressed! The food was really good, and the meat portion was surprisingly generous, which I really appreciated. The owner was also very friendly and pleasant when I spoke with her on the phone.Overall, I had a great experience and I’ll be ordering again!“

“We very much enjoyed Rainbow African Restaurant -West African Cuisine. This place has a dine-in section, but it also does brisk carry-out business.

The decor and atmosphere are very charming and beautiful. I appreciate that there was a quieter place to enjoy our food a bit farther from the TV in the lobby.

I also appreciated the recommendations from the lady taking our order- she was very friendly and helpful. We particularly loved the Bofrot, Peanut Butter Soup, Fufu, Fried Plantains, and Jollof Rice.

The Suya Beef Kabob was quite tasty, but just a little too spicy for my palate (my husband thought it was perfect).

The prices were commensurate with the quality of food.

We're looking forward to returning and trying more dishes!“

“Looking forward to many more visits soon. Today was my initial dining experience and I am very satisfied! Fantastic soup and swallows; full bar; and did you know there's a dance floor?“

“This was a great experience! We were immediately greeted and welcomed. The music was a nice touch and we were able to enjoy a few shows. Our waitress was Josephine and she was kind and friendly, she always checked in to make sure our food was good and if we wanted anything else. The drinks were also amazing. They make a ginger drink with fresh ginger which was strong and bold. It made me feel like my immune system was … . There was also sobolo which had a deep powerful flavor. My favorite was their hibiscus lemonade which was not as strong but had a great flavor. All of their food was outstanding. I enjoyed their peanut butter soup and rice balls. The flavor was great and warmed me up. It felt like I was back in Ghana. This was a great experience and I can’t wait to come back!“
