“Money well spent, waiters and staff were courteous. Food was delicious!“

“We were really excited to eat here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and it was one of the best dinner experiences we’ve had in DC. Not exaggerating, it’s the best sauce work on dishes we have ever tasted. The sauces for the piri salad, branzino, and shrimp were the highlights while the oysters were the standout. Our server (Cesar) was phenomenal and gave us great recommendations. We are excited to come back here with our friends in the near future!“

“The best restaurant in USA“

“Excellent quality, very authentic food. If you love spicy this is the spot for sure to check out. You can build your own bowl and have plenty of options to choose from, also the beverages are authentic as well. Definitely not expensive yet fairly priced yet still excellent in qualitu. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious African food and a fantastic dining experience at Elmina. I did the chef’s tasting menu and it was amazing—each course was creative, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The dishes highlighted a variety of African ingredients and spices, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and well balanced. The staff also did a great job explaining each course, which made the experience even better. If you’re looking to try something unique and delicious in DC, the tasting menu here is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!“

“Today was my first time visiting. I came from WV. I follow the page and have been wanting to try this amazing looking food!!! April helped me pick my order and she did an awesome job!! The food was 10/10!!! My taste buds are happy ❤️“

“Really delicious Ivorian food -- grilled red snapper, stews, and jollof. I love the little curries that came with our dishes. But honestly the fresh ginger juice was seriously the best ginger drink I've had anywhere. We're going back to just pick that stuff up and sip and restore life to our eyes. Friendly folks too :)“

“I came here with some friends for a fun Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed my time! The vibes are great, the music was great, and the food was great too! I tried the beef skewers and the jollof rice. The service could be improved upon. We were left waiting for our waiter for very long periods of time and when my food came, I wasn’t given any silverware or napkins. Overall, I will definitely be back!“

“Thanks to Tracye McQuirter of By Any Greens Necessary for recommending this Ethiopian Cafe to me. The sign on the store says Bethel Cafe. I ordered the Vegetarian Platter. THEE VERY BEST! Friendly staff and accommodating. I will be venturing out to Arlington, VA on occasion just to come here.“

“Great Late-Night Find with Excellent Service!
I ordered from Beyond Suya at their kiosk, and I was genuinely impressed. The staff was so nice, patient, and super communicative throughout the entire process. Even though it wasn’t a dine-in experience, they made sure everything went smoothly and made me feel like a valued customer.

The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavor and clearly made with care. What really stood out, aside from the amazing service, is that they’re open late! If you’re looking for something tasty and satisfying to eat late at night, Beyond Suya is a perfect go-to. I’ll definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“How in heavens name do you rate delicious? I recommend Disbe for all grilled meat loving fans.“

“I tried the jollof rice and fried rice at my sister inlaws reception and IT WAS SO GOOOOOODDDDD“

“One of the BEST Egusi I've ever had. I was pregnant and Ms. Bangura (owner) was so kind enough to have my special order ready for me on almost a nightly basis. For whatever reason, my craving was egusi and it started with just single orders every other night to ordering pans of egusi with a side of pounded yam.

My husband would do pickups for me and he said it was always easy to place and order. She has a waiting area inside and a small grocery for your quick grabs while you wait.
Parking is nice and the customer service is top tier.

I still visit often and Will be coming back soon!“

“really good, quality food and service at very fair prices- TJ (owner) was fantastic and takes care of each customer like they were his own family/friend. the suya, goat, fish, and plantains were all perfectly prepared and delicious. definitely highly recommend this spot not just for quality but also level of service from the owner/staff - A++ / 10 out of 10! *and they just got their liquor license as well!“

“I initially called to ask what options of protein the store has and I was told whatever you like we offer! I really appreciated how kind the woman on the phone was and as I walked in she was very pleasant. I also noticed the menu offered a variety of other dishes I did not know the store prepared since the online menu did not provide but easily convinced me to want to come back immediately. I ordered the cassava leaf stew with fish and white rice. I also ordered two Jamaican beef patties. I ordered two cassava leaf stews because I kept reading reviews of how small the servings were. Being pregnant and having this craving made me say why not just order two in case! Lo and behold when I received my food it was a very good size portion as well as the amount of protein given with this dish! I was extremely pleased with not only the taste but the quantity of serving at the listed price is very appropriate. My overall experience 10 out of 10 will be trying again and again!!! I’m so satisfied and now know to go and try things yourself instead of reading reviews. You never know. Proof of the quality down below. Food is absolutely delicious approved by a pregnant craving woman!!!“

“Excellent good and a lot of it!! I loved the food truck! Now I love the new restaurant in Potomac Mills! Come out and support Ghana Jollof!“

“Saw an amazing story about the food and owners of this restaurant- what a great story - thank you for being such a great role model and giving back to the community“

“Love this place. Walk in the door and immediately to the right is Lawd Shawarma! A wonderfully warm meal of fish & eggs with vegan bread and Christmas-spiced Sorrel / Hibiscus drink. No matter what they call the next respiratory illness, no matter if you need to starve a flu or feed a cold. Problem solved for me. Lawd! I thank you.“

“friendly staff, great location and good parking“

“During my trip to Maryland, I went to Christele’s Delights, the food here is absolutely delicious. I’m still dreaming about my meal. Each bite was a delight as the name said. The menu offers a wide of African’s variety in general and Cameroonian’s food in particular. Christele’s Delight s is just the place to be. Highly recommended!“

“My experience was good, just that I look like it gets better at night. The fish is good, just a little salty. The Achu was good, too abd the soya. For next time I will recommend coming at night for a better experience cause the evening looks cold that is not too lively.“

“This is a nearby spot and couldn't be happier if it were any closer I'd be there everyday. Mama is the sweetest woman so hard working and very kind. The food is made with love and is worth every cent it's not expensive but it's worth every dollar. My favorite dish is jerk chicken, white rice, cabbage, and plantains with a side of coco bread?“
