This was the worst $40 dollars I have EVER PAID for for food. I want a refund."

"They sent 3 small cut pieces of oxtail, which is basically the equivalent to one whole oxtail. A ton of rice was sent, and you'll see I removed the salad that was supposed to be cold, as it was mixed with hot food. I've cooked oxtails, and ordered oxtails for over 20 years, and this is not right!"

"The Curried Chicken Dinner and Beef Patty are the best of the DMV area that I consistently order for lunch and dinner: generously portioned with fresh vegetables, chicken and spices, the chicken dish tastes excellent; the beef patty is also freshly baked with tasty filling.

"The Fish Sandwich is the best fish sandwich in the DMV today for the spicy vegetables, properly prepared fish that is fresh, portioned generously, and delicious.

The okra was delicious (made just like my dad's). Saved the jollof for later, but I took a bite and that was made very good as well. "
"The plaintain was dry and there was only 6 in the entire container, meaning i paid over a dollar for each plaintain. The Tilapia Fresh Fish (1 pc) that i received was better. The stew was slightly a bit too salty but the tilapia was cooked well and was sizable and fit the price."

"Wow. I honestly had low expectations for the portion size since I ordered the meal box but it was absolutely perfect! I was able to save a little more than half a cup of the spicy rice to use for another meal (since it's packed with rice), and I finished the rest of the bowl. The beef suya, suya rice, plantain, corn salsa and the sauce were 10/10!!!! I absolutely have nothing else to say except the fact that I will be ordering this again multiple times during lunch time!"
"The fried plantain was absolutely delicious and the cucumber salad is excellent. This is my second time ordering from this establishment and the first time I ordered the rice noodles with double lamb and fried plantain, with the cucumber salad and suya rice. Everything was delicious and wonderfully seasoned. My only complaint is that I attempted this time to order the rice noodles again and instead of getting the noodles, I got rice with a double lamb, and not rice noodles with double lamb. But the food was still excellent and I would highly recommend the rice with double lamb."

It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "

"This is my first time trying African Cuisine and I will say 10/10 recommend!!
I’m so glad I chose Juneteenth to try African food!
The Ogbono is so good! It is very spicy, idk if it comes that way. I will try to get regular next time. I thought it was completely vegetable, I had beef or stew meat - it was tender.
The pounded yam goes well with it, it reminds me of a ball of instant mashed potatoes. It helps with the spice.
The Moi-Moi is good! I might eat it for breakfast. The texture is smooth and solid. Its similar to tamale.
The Suya was a little tough. The purple sliced onions were really good and spicy as well.
The meat pie was good! I got chicken, it was flavorful. I was expecting the chicken to have more juice to it.
Overall each item was full of flavor and spices. I will reorder this again along with a dessert!! I think this is a great place for a first timer! If you have never tried African cuisine, be open minded and give it a try!"

"I will always continue to order from this location. They follow order notes perfectly. The taste of all of their food is delicious!! The Quarter White Chicken is always well seasoned and juicy. Everything is so fresh! Today was my first time trying the Carne Asada and I was blown away!! The mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese are well made. I read reviews regarding the "soupiness" etc. But all it needs is a little salt and pepper, then it's perfect! I actually like my Mac and cheese the way it is prepared at this location. I have ZERO COMPLAINTS!! Thank you Super RICO!!! My family loves your food!!"
"Their food is so good. The restaurant is spotless, and the staff is friendly. The chicken is flavorful, the Yucca Fries are fluffy, the steak The Quesadilla is full of meat and cheese...but the star of the show for me are those Brussel Sprouts & Carrots! They have me in a chokehold. I am still working my way through the menu, but everything I have had so far keeps me coming back."

"Family Special was delicious, especially the beet dish. Definitely a hearty two meals' worth of food. The Sambusa was tasty as well. The pastry was doughier rather than crispy which was different than most others in the area."
"SO flavorful!! Just the right amount of kick from the spices. I got the Regular Vegetarian Special with kik alitcha, gomen, fosolia, and tekil gomen. Only two minor complaints: 1) there wasn't really any potato in the tekil gomen or fosolia which both mention potatoes on the menu, and 2) the injera was cold. Not the kind of cold it'd get from a car ride. Those issues are minor compared to how delicious the food is. I'd definitely eat here again. "

You can tell there is some serious craft behind the awaze sauce. Thank you, Meda."
"Ethiopian Combina Platter was extremely oily, I spent 20 mins trying to dab the red colored oil out of the soggy injera. And they included only one additional injera, this was the first time I've seen one injera included in a platter. Food tasted good but made me feel super groggy after. Not terrible but won't do this again."

"Best assortment for an Ethiopian vegetables combo platter I have come across to date -- 10 different items! I thought it was a great value!"
"They should consider removing Goden Tibs from the menu. Got a HUGE bone with barely any meat on it, only disgusting fat, unseasoned, burnt and just a mess! And I've had better Fasolia for the price and size. I've had their Derek Tibs before and although never consistent (sometimes it has tomatoes sometimes not), that one was good. Hence the 4 stars, their saving grace. And I love that they have American Injera by the bag."

"The Eru was absolutely good and the most the way the Gari foufou is made wad excellent not hard like stone as you would find in certain place in West Africa. Bravo to that magic cook who did this successfully
.
I would have liked the Eru with fish and shrimp.
I liked the chicken but to have the Eru with mixed chicken, smoked fish and shrimp with crab added will give the Eru a very good perfume as we have in Togo and Benin .
I have really enjoyed my food one order served two meals. Good value for money and it's healthy.
Can you have the Eru done with peanut oil instead ok palm.
Thank you for this comfort food so well anticipated today.
Best regards"
"Amazing all around. If the food remains this quality the store will always be highly rated. the Efo Riro was really good and had good meat portions. the Fried Plantain was done perfectly. its been a while since I ordered from this store because their food quality was starting to go down. But it looks like they are back in the game."

"Way too much plantains and barely any meat. I ordered the 2 meat Chicken Bandera and Goat Bandera: chicken and goat. They offered 1 chicken thigh and 2 very small pieces of meat. But I was charged for extra meat. If I hadn't of paid extra they would have given me one piece of chicken. . So they put extra plantains in my plantain so I would think it's chicken.
They're not providing as much as they used to."
