"This Egusi is definitely 10/10 very authentic and very well portioned .. Everything was sooo delicious and well seasoning , that spicy kick makes you want to back off but because the dish is so delicious you just have to have one more bite ! "
"Okra Soup proportion is too small for the amount that they are asking for the cost
of the okra soup. I have visited many West African restaurants in the metropolitan area of the Washington DC area, and I have ordered that special dish on many occasions because of it's
nutritional benefits, and not once I
have complained about the small
proportion."

"Even though their food is pricy, it's really worth it. Compared to other african restaurants, their food is a lot. I really like their rice and atadindin, the egusi is very tasty as well. The puff puff, meatpie...., the list is endless. Their food really gives Nigerian vibes. I keep coming back every time. I pray I don't spend my life savings on their food 😩"

As always, I like to add extra curry gravy and ground scotch bonnet pepper to the main dish."
"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.

"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."

"I recently door dashed at Nando’s Peri Peri for a team lunch at work, and I have to say, it was a disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken thighs, but what I received was far from satisfying. The “thighs” were so small they barely qualified as actual chicken thighs—more like overgrown chicken nuggets. On top of that, the chicken was extremely dry. I spent $14.19 for essentially three tiny pieces of what I’d barely call chicken, which left me feeling shortchanged and unsatisfied.
I usually budget $17 per person for work lunches, and this meal didn’t even come close to meeting that expectation. It was such a letdown that I couldn’t even get a full meal out of it. I won’t be ordering any time soon."
"The ONLY good thing about this delivery is that it got to me within 15 mins. The canned drink was dusty and warm AND EXPIRED Feb 11 2023. The 2 sides I paid extra for were less than 3 tespoonfuls worth and NOT WORTH anything extra. The chicken skin was slimy, felt like it needed to be cooked more. This was the worst $40 dollars I have EVER PAID for for food. I want a refund."

"The awaze tibs are always amazing--beautifully spiced and tender, and the injera bread that comes with it is perfection! Not too too sour, just right! One thing I noticed--sometimes the tibs comes with veggies on the side, sometimes not, and occasionally the portion size is variable. But, each time I've been full and satisfied! My go-to spot for delicious awaze tibs!!"

"The #24. Kitfo Dulet was okay, had a lot of chunky onions and no jalapeños at all. I'd give it a 5. The #61. Veggie Combo (4) was delicious and the best test from any other restaurant I ordered from. The only thing I didn't like was the Shiro. I'd definitely order it again. I really like the packaging because not everything was mixed up by the time i received it. The veggie #61. Veggie Combo (4) is amazing and I'd give it a 9."

"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."

"Veggie Combo was abundant in variety but the flavor wasnt the same as other places. Really odd horseradish side that is not traditional. Misir Wot was especially underwhelming, which was too bad because it is my favorite. Maybe the ingredients were less fresh. Spaghetti wasn't good at all and had a sour flavor. Quanta Firfir was the best dish. Would have appreciated more injira."

"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. "

"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."

It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "
"Ordered the Jerk Chicken and chose the stir fry veggies as my two sides. It was absolutely delicious. The Jerk Chicken was moist and flavorful without being too spicy. The jerk sauce was...well let's just I need that recipe because I want it on everything! It was sweet and tangy at the same time...almost like a jerk bbq sauce mixed with ketchup. The veggies were cooked perfectly without alot of salt or oil and had the right amount of crunch! This meal was amazing!"
