“The food is really good in this little hole in the wall resteraunt. I had the pounded yam and egusi soup. It was a delicious assortment of meats in the soup. Additionally the soup was spiced well. The pounded yam also tasted like it was made with high quality ingredients rather than the powder instant pounded yam you make with boiling water. Now for the not so good. As good as the food is it's hit or miss wether they will have the food available. There have been a few times I've gone there, mouth watering, and ordered some pounded yams and egusi, oxtails, etc only to be told we are out today. My advice is to save yourself the trip and call your order in ahead of time. Which will help mitigate issue number two ...the wait can be very long depending on what's ordered. Most of the times I've been there there were only a handful of customers but the wait time stretched to about 30 minutes+. Yes I know this isn't McDonald's but when it's only you and another customer I think the food should come out faster. Regardless I still give them my business because the food is that good.“
“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!!“
“Aduke’s kitchen DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. Period. Catered two events with this business and both brought on the WOW factor. Some people caterer as a business and means of income, others as a passion and something they enjoy. For Aduke’s kitchen, it’s so clear to see this is a passion because the service and excellence is amazing, thoughtful, and tasty!“
“Things I love about Mansa Kunda:A- Covid safe! A large beautiful patio, and the inside is big, airy, and almost never crowded!B- The service. These guys treat you like family and it’s super kid friendly. Also the decorations are BEAUTIFUL.C- THE FOOD! I will crave their jollof couscous for the rest of my life. The afra chicken — how do they do that?? Crispy and salty with a little char and a liiiiittle spice (my toddler ests it). My husband loves the peanut butter chu. Also there is an insane selection of DELICIOUS house made desserts.Truly love this place!Kid-friendliness: The staff are so sweet and there is lots of room to run around. Plus: the bird phone!“
“I’ve visited Jollof Etcetera three times and each time I’ve had a lovely experience. The staff are attentive and friendly. I’ve had tried abula, jollof rice, fried rice, meat pie, and suya. The jollof rice is smoky and reminds of the wonderful party jollof rice that they make back home. The abula was flavorful and enjoyably spicy. All the other items that I tried were just as wonderful. Jollof etcetera has become one of my new favorite restaurants.“
“The food I ordered (lamb & goat w/ rice) was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ginger & pineapple drink is made with a kick of a spicy ingredient but it is very refreshing.Overall you get a good portion for your money.Be patient, the service is a little slow but the food is worth the wait.“
“We ordered lunch for 30 people, which the Hunger Tamer catered. The communication with the restaurant was excellent, and they worked with us to finalize and customize a great menu. Delivery was on time and again the communication was on point. My colleagues loved the food which had great flavor and generous portions. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for an event.“
“Found this place via google search. What a find!! Very authentic and delicious Ghanaian dishes. I had the red-red with chicken. It's my favorite Ghana dish and it was great. Huge portion ended up being dinner and leftovers for lunch. I'll definitely be back. Need to try the oxtails and egusi and waatye (sp?).“
“I have visited several African restaurants in DMV. De.Raanch restaurants and Bar is absolutely bed when it comes real restaurants serving food.I heard so much about De Rannch: The pioneer of authentic African restaurants restaurants. We came here today to find out for ourselves. Upon entering the door, we were greeted with a smiling face by the lady who was behind the counter..She then walked up to the dinning room and sat us down .The menu is a light booklet with all the motherland foods. I decided to go for the hard to find items: Ishiehu, Nkobi, ugba,and bitter leaf soup. My friend ordered abach( African salad) to our surprise all these items were brought to our table hot and fresh. We looked at each other and said this is it. The management is serious about thier business. No stories just good authentic food.The environment is very clean. No smells, tables are shining. The restrictions are clean. This is what I cal restaurants. I strongly recommend De Ranch for the restaurants to treat your out of town guests.“
“First Time going to this spot...It may be new, but what a hidden gem. Located in the parking lot in front of Laurel, MD Home Depot, let me tell yall, this food is fire! I had the egusi and poundu yam. The egusi flavor pops out at you. Not too oily, not too spicy. My son had the jellof rice. The smokeness was on point. Better than Jellof I've had in Ghana. My hats off to the chef as mama put her whole foot in this food!!! God is my witness, ill be back!!!!! This is a Latin and West African offering cuisine. Do yourself and them the favor of supporting this establishment. I almost missed out in a blessing. P.S...it's also a lounge so they may get down on weekends. Not sure as yet.Mama...I'm coming back for my cassava fufu.Constructive critique....add a little more base to the soup.“
“I am visiting and stumbled on this restaurant while strolling the neighborhood. What a diamond in the rough. My husband is from Gambia and he enjoyed everything he ordered. And the staff is outstanding. I will definitely be back for the great African food.“
“Great, no-frills West African place. Jodeem easily outpaces regional competitors on flavors. Earthy, spicy, sweet in all the right proportions. We got the bitter leaf soup with beef, spinach and beans with chicken, and beef patties. The bitter greens were the clear winner in fragrance and “
“Dibi lampchops and Yassa Chicken have some now!!!! This is one of those classic ethnic hole in the wall restaurants with a very humble small seating area, and very flavorful food. The lamb was cooked perfectly, and sizzles with flavor. They gave us a huge portion of caramelized onions, which you just smother all over the rice and it’s heavenly. The chicken was fantastic on the spicy side, but very tasty. I also had a ginger juice drink that tasted similar to ginger beer. Just a tip they don’t have club soda so you might want to bring some and mix it with that ginger drink and it will be very similar to ginger beer. This is located in a walkable area in Hyattsville (which is a hidden gem). We will be back for sure.“
