Went to Mansa Kunda on a weeknight and it was pretty much just us at the restaurant, although a ton…read moreof people came in for order pick up. From the moment we walked in, the service was great and you can tell that they care about their customers. The African decor is also very beautiful! Something fun to look at every corner. As for the food, we got the Okra Soup with paneer and fufu, Chicken Chu and Jollof. It was my first time trying fufu and I really enjoyed it. I had a recent dental procedure that prevented me from being able to chew so it was honestly the perfect meal for me, as traditionally you're supposed to swallow the fufu. My husbands chicken chu was very flavorful and totally new to us. As for the jollof I felt it was lacking a bit of flavor and the grains of rice were a bit too el dente for my personal liking. I have had jollof at other places that I liked a bit more. Overall great spot! I love trying new West African restaurants and would recommend this to others!

UberEats review…read more Service: given the distance of the restaurant, the order took a bit long but it was packaged well so nothing spilled and the food was still still fresh and warm. Dish: I ordered the spice wings with a side of jollof rice and spinach Efo-Riro. OMG! So let's start with the wings, the flavor on these wings were the right balance between rich spices and touch of sweetness. There was a hint of honey lingering on my tongue after it was greeted by a strong spicy flavor. Adding to this, the wings were fried to perfection with crispy skin resting on the top and smooth white meat down to the bone. AMAZING! The jollof rice was stellar! And while I do not know much about the perfect preparation for this dish to review if this is the best, I've had a few from various West African countries and can say that this one had that grainy texture with just the right spices mixed in. The spinach efo-riro was SO good. I honestly could have had a plate of this by itself and my taste buds would still be pleased. Overall, this place is very generous with their serving sizes. Well portioned, beautifully prepared, seasoned to perfection, and a sure trip down culture lane! I enjoyed it so much.

I've tried just about everything on their menu, and it sparked such a love for Senegalese food that I ended up taking a trip to Senegal last year...yes, it's that good. The family who runs this place is incredibly sweet, welcoming, and somehow never forgets a face. I bring friends and family any chance I get...partly to share, partly because I need everyone to understand the hype! And I can absolutely confirm Senegal indeed makes THEE best Jollof (I mean they did create it!)

Bintou was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was so warm, welcoming, and…read moregenuinely friendly.

You can really tell there's care put into both the service and the kitchen. If you're dining here, definitely ask for Bintou. She made our experience unforgettable. We'll definitely be back more often!

Warning: this place is not for everyone. Don't go here on a date, don't go with kids, don't go if…read moreyou are on a rush and don't go if you feel entitled. This is a very humble establishment that runs on African time but serves really authentic cuisine. Go here solely for the food. Better if you can do a take out order. I had grilled lamb with spinach, jollof rice and sweet plantains. Just amazing. I also did a take out order of Ndolle (goat with some bitter leaf gravy). Loved it. There are too many issues with the restaurant. Outdated ambience, super super slow service, difficulty communicating with the staff which resulted in some extra side dishes I ended up paying for, their website doesn't work, the prices they charged were a bit more than what was on the menu (basically outdated menus) and the list simply goes on. Inspite of all these issues, I would still go there because none of those issues seemed intentional. I didn't see foul play. The manager/owner Patrick and the server/cashier Agbenfa both seemed naive and humble. They tried to make sure I enjoyed the food. I also feel I may have gotten lucky because the food that was served to me was hot. (Not cold or room temp like some of the others mentioned) I went on a Friday night. I would have to try a few more times before judging if the food is consistent. But the two entrees and the three sides I tried were all phenomenal. It also helps if you know what you are getting but I like to try new things especially when I am going to authentic places and I don't mind taking small risks. Oh the portions were huge. When it took 30 mins for the lady to come take my order, I was all set to leave the place and was prepared for a 1star experience as I started reading the reviews. But I'm glad my patience served me well. I wasn't in a rush. It was a lazy Friday evening. Lazy enough to stick around long enough to try their food.

The drinks were worth the money even though they did not have much of what we wanted (they seemed to be out of everything). There is bar seating as well as a few tables next to the bar.

Intrigued by Black Diamond from every time we walked past it to get to the Metro (we like cutting through the bus plaza), I decided to order something the other night (my better half was out of town). After a slow confirmation on their end and waiting an hour for the delivery because the driver went all over the greater Silver Spring area first, my food arrived. I got the carribean patty and the char grilled tilapia. 1) for $8, even in this economy, there should've been more filling in the patty, despite it being well season. 2) over $30 for a whole ass fish you then have to spend most of your meal picking around the "bones"of with minimal seasoning on the veg, no real "char grilled" flavor past the skin and an overly spicy sauce -- I have a decent enough spice tolerance, but I think even my wife's mouth would've been on fire from the sauce; the was flavor, but it was predominately spicy -- with enough jollof rice for 2 people? Not my cup of tea. Probably not ordering again, unless its one of the meat dishes.
