The jollof rice was disappointing because it lacked flavor and was overcooked. The only thing that tasted good and was cooked decently were the lamb chops.

Favorites were the rich, thickly textured, moderately spicy palm nut soup with goat and beef, the dark and flavorful waakye rice and bean dish, the chicken suya, and the jollof rice. All the sauces were delicious. The fried turkey tail dish was well-prepared, but not my favorite. Portions were generous and every dish offered great value. We'll definitely go back. Dining in was comfortable but utilitarian and no frills. The pace was un-rushed--perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable dinner, but it wouldn't be ideal if you were in a hurry. If you've never tried west African food, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Not bad! The food was pretty good. We don't have many options in NOVA so for what is, it was good…read more I normally drive out to MD and DC for West African food. This restaurant is Ghanaian. We came here on a Thursday night so maybe that's why everything didn't slap as much as I would've liked. The jollof didn't have a ton of flavor or spice, but they have tomato based pepper sauce a medium and an extra hot that adds flavor and spice to the rice. The meat and chicken was a bit dry and hard. The fish wasn't seasoned much. The portions are big and customer service was kind. They had a fairly big menu. We ordered: Suya rice 8/10 (best thing here to me) Attike w/fish 6/10 Jollof rice with chicken and beef 6/10

A favorite is the Peanut Butter Chu and Chicken Afra. And for my dinner crew, there werent any major complaints. Flavor was there and quality. The one thing was around the desserts.

Authentic Nigerian Food right in White Oak…read more Jollof Etcetera is a Nigerian establishment located in many locations in Maryland. The white oak location is the newest one. I forgot to take pictures (forgive me) but my family and I decided to go there to celebrate my father in love, Father's Day. Our waiter Victor was very nice and friendly as he took his time to answer our questions and also tell us what was available and unavailable due to supply issues. The restaurant itself is beautiful with modern granite tables grey comfort seats and can accommodate large parties. We ordered jollof, amala, efo riro, and ogbono My wife claimed that this was the best amala she's had as her father indicated that the efo was delicious too. I tried ogbono for the first time and It was pretty good. It's an acquired taste however I got used to It the more I ate It. Mine had assorted goat meat which was tender and seasoned well. We also had some puff puff as appetizers and I had zobo as my drink. The zobo was bland and there were slight hints of ginger and sugar. As a Ghanaian It did not satisfy my sobolo craving. Overall we were content and would return again, hopefully this time they have cassava leaf available

Not only did I waste gas but my lunch time. Then when I get back to work I notice they forgot several items.

Not only did she disrespect a customer verbally but she hung up on me too multi times. The food is unauthentic, lacks flavor & is expensive. I do not recommend this place at all.
