2 tiny pieces of beef for $25 and the lobby smelled like excrement.

The food is amazing!! Very well seasoned and the meat is veryyy tender. The decorations are beautiful with white flowers covering the ceiling. We were a big party and our server Charity was very patient with us and took care of us well. Definitely recommend!!

Charity gave us wonderful service and we will definitely be back here.
Food was nasty rice too salty fish separated from the goosy soup like that makes no sense at all and they give you such a small portion for the amount of money. The goat that’s supposed to be go, but it looks like cows foot which I don’t mind, but it was supposed to be go. It was super tough will never order from there again.

I was looking forward to some authentic and delicious African fare, but I was extremely disappointed, to say the least. The jollof rice smelled of a burnt pot and tasted as such. My friend got the goat with their rice, and it was 90% fat and bone, and that isn't an exaggeration. I got the chicken with mine (they only had baked chicken available), and though the chicken was decent, it was dry. We also ordered a beef pattie that was flavorful but dry, as if it had been under heat lamps the entire day. The plantains looked like plantain chips because they were completely dried out. Not one drip of moisture resided in those plantains. If you're going to be named after such a delicious dish, please at least be decent in preparation and taste.

Food is good but they increase their prices like every month. It’s getting ridiculous.

My second time here for the amala and it was nice... Pearl who served me was really nice and very helpful with all my needs. She checked on me severally... Thank you, Pearl...
The food was delicious ?. I had a nice experience and got to try 2 different nigerian dishes. The place was neat and the service was quite fast when we ordered for the food to eat there.The service at the section allocated to-go foods was a different story, though. They were quite slow, but it's nothing a good pie can't fix.

The Egusi Soup w/ Beef and Pounded Yam is DELICIOUS! Great flavor, and had the perfect amount of spice. Will definitely be ordering again, and trying other dishes.

Went here with a large party for my friend’s bachelor party. Despite how many people we had, the service was good and the food was fantastic. I got the Ata Dindin, super spicy and delicious. I loved it. The Puff Puffs were also excellent.

Came here with my husband while visiting the DMV as he was craving some traditional Nigerian/Igbo food. They were out of the majority of the dishes my husband wished to try but we eventually found something. The food was great however, our servers attitude was not. She seemed annoyed at my husbands questions and overall a bit rude in how she interacted with us.The booths were a great size and decorated nicely however, the rest of the environment seemed lazy. No consistent music, staff lounging around until called upon, etc.
