Upon reading the reviews here, I saw how they're mixed up so I wanted to try this place out to see…read morehow it is. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and found that the place is very spacious. Wooden booths and wooden tables with wooden chairs. Everything here is wooden. Not necessarily a bad thing. As I walked in, I was greeted by a woman. When I tried to ask her some questions, she didn't understand what I was trying to ask. So I just said "menu please" and she gave me a menu. The menu is small which I thought was great. I asked her if she had any recommendations. She pointed at the Jollof Rice dish and asked me what kind of meat do I like. I said the Goat and Tripe then told her either one is fine. She nodded her head and started to walk back to the kitchen but I stopped her and asked for another dish. She then pointed at the Okra dish. The Jollof rice dish comes with rice, plantains and a choice of meat and the Okra dish comes with Fufu (Solidified Mashed Potatoes used like bread.) and a choice of meat. Cool so I waited while watching the news on the tube. I checked in the restaurant first time and because of that, Yelp said I could get a 10% off of my first order there, yay! So I waited till she gave me my food and told her about the Yelp coupon. She smiled, shook her head and told me "no". I then asked her one more time because I'm sure Restaurants have to contact the company and advertise. I'm sure the company doesn't do the advertising for the restaurants... She again said "No, we don't do". I understand if the place is trying to get that money especially when it was empty when I came in but I found that to be a bit odd at the least. Then she gave me the receipt and come to find out, she charged me more than what the menu said. The menu said 13 bucks for each dish (The 2 dishes I got.) so including tax, it would have been around 27 bucks and some change. Instead the total was 33 bucks. Like I said above, I understand if they're trying to get money or survive but charging me hidden prices is terrible. If she had told me beforehand, I wouldn't have mind giving them extra money. It's not the amount of money that they took from me, it's the principle of their menu saying 1 price then charging me extra as if I wasn't going to find out. Anyways I paid it then left and when I got home I tasted the Jollof Rice dish. The rice had a distinct flavor to it which I liked and it came with Goat. The Goat was tasty and tender and the plantains were just plantains. I then had the Okra dish and the goat in that was very delicious. However, there were only 5 pieces in the dish. I then took some Fufu and laid it on my plate and got some Okra sauce and laid it on top of the Fufu. I took a bite and WOW it was terrible. You know how when you get too drunk and throw up, there's that after taste and burning sensation in your throat? It was EXACTLY like that. But oddly enough, the goat was good. The food was good aside from the Okra sauce and the service was horrendous. It wasn't about how long the food took, it was about the woman there lying to me about Yelp and charging me extra for the 2 dishes. According to the receipt, 5 pieces of goat equals 15 bucks. It doesn't say "Jollof Rice Dish" or anything of the sort. It's like she charged me A La Carte. I'm gonna stop by Nando's PERI PERI soon and hope they can better serve me without any hidden secrets.

STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY!! Because I saw the previous reviews, I did My due diligence to calculate the…read moreprice before I was given my receipt. Needless to say, YES I was overcharged. After I lengthy discussion with the male worker (who's not in charge, and the person in charge has vanished) I was told that goat meat is extra money. Even though the menu doesn't state that, it says $12.95 for my choice of meat PERIOD. He says when the ring it in the system a la carte, it comes up that way. So I explained they have less than stellar Yelp reviews for this reason and should fix the problem. He says he's not I. Charge and can't do anything about it. I walked away leaving the food. He followed me outside to give it to me for the price it should have been but complained that I was blaming him for a system error. I still didn't want the food and kept walking. DAMN and I really wanted some African food today!! Such is never. Needless to say I will NEVER come here again!

Baltimore Review 7/Many: I was at this tiny Ethiopian spot for a light lunch as a bit of…read morehappenstance, since it was too early for the more popular Ethiopian spot a couple of doors down to be open, and it was near the pretty bad La Quinta Downtown. When I went in, there wasn't anyone else outside except for a friendly woman who was presumably the owner, but eventually a few other people came in, either to eat in or to take out. For food, I went with fir-fir, or fit-fit, a mixture of shredded injera and other ingredients. I thought about getting the $19.99 Kwanta Firfir, made with stewed beef and sun-dried beef, but instead went with the slightly cheaper Beef Firfir for $17.00, or spicy beef stew tossed with injera. The plate was pretty big, with the whole stew served on a large piece of that spongy, sour bread. Otherwise, the beef inside was pretty tender, and there were pieces of injera mixed with the stew along with some peppers. There was a nice mix of spices, and it was indeed moderately spicy, but not too overpowering. The injera helped soak up all the flavors and was good quality. Overall, I liked it a lot. Soon enough, I paid for the check and left.
