"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 😩"
"Hollow rice was burnt and tasted like smoke. The meat was too overcooked. I'm so disgusted for the amount of money spent on this food. I would never eat here again. The food was also cold and barely any meat."

"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."

"This was my first order and everything was perfect. I am Nigerian so a little weary with African restaurants, but I finished my okra soup and pounded yam in about 5 minutes; this was authentic! 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."

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. As always, the Beef Patty is the best in the DMV, and both dishes are well complimented by the D&G Ting soda. I recommend the fish sandwich without the cheese, btw."

The portions are always plentiful with anything i order, , and the patties are fresh unlike many places I've tried that seem heated up from another day. I love the Beef and cheese Patty . 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!"

I prefer less meat . $19 for small soup in a container :( . Did not taste like regular spicy pepper soup. Was a little watery.
Moin Moin :was hot but okay, I notice some fish in it and it makes it not very appetizing to eat without worrying about swallowing some.

"This is my first time ordering here and I will be back! The Cassava Leaf is absolutely amazing! So flavorful and not dry. Best that I've had in the area."
Cassava Leaf
Palava Sauce is a beloved Liberian dish known for its rich flavor, leafy texture, and deep cultural roots. Made with jute leaves (known locally as "Palava" or "Plasas"), this dish has a naturally thick and slightly slimy texture—similar to okra—that’s perfect for scooping with rice or fufu. It’s cooked with red palm oil, onions, hot peppers, and a blend of traditional seasonings, often combined with meats like smoked fish, beef, or dried shrimp to add bold, savory depth. Palava Sauce is earthy, spicy, and deeply nourishing—a true Liberian comfort food that brings warmth and heritage to the table.

.
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.

My Jallof rice is mushy.. Also ordered the "Jumbo Shrimp" for $4.99 and they are NOT jumbo. The shrimp option has no description, so I was given Frozen Coconut Shrimp that were cooked in bad grease.

"Real African food with Real Pepper! I love it! Their Jollof Rice is perfect and their Pepper Soup is wonderful! Don't change!"
"The food was just ok in my opinion they are pretty generous with their portions.. at least with rice but the meat inside the stew was hard to chew it was really tough! They give you the option of 3 different meats but they give you one small piece of beef that's hard one piece of tripe that's super tough and two tough pieces of chicken and all the pieces are super small. I gave them a chance because they have reasonable prices but the quality is not good. I definitely will not order from them again"

"Ever dish is appetizing . I only finished part of the dish of curry chicken . I'm a little let down because I was expecting the curry chicken to have a lot more meat in the food container that it was in but the flavor of the chicken juices is so wonderful that I can already tell I'll be returning soon . However I'm sure the oxtails and goat plate will be liked and taste excellent too . I have no serious about the Caribbean meal it's amazing and all of my drinks came with the order . The cream soda in particular is so good that it may really make me get five of those and I was really pleased with every dish that was prepared and served so I'll be ordering five more of those cream soda without adding a dinner I'm going to be reheating some more meals later because I'm so full right now . Tropicana and the Caribbean grill will be my two favorite restaurants . I'll place separate orders for two meals and beverages from each of them so please don't go out of business I will always be there to support your company "

"Honestly, I was pretty disappointed with what I got. Both the Doro Wot and Kikil had zero flavor — no seasoning, no salt, just bland. The Doro Wot tasted more like plain tomato sauce than anything else. Considering the prices, I expected much better. The quality of the food just didn’t match the cost."

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."

"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 ordered puff puffs and I know that I’m supposed to get more than one for four dollars and the one puff puff I got was over fried and hard."
