The store at Reagan National has terrible customer service and actually rips off kids. They gave my…read morestudent the wrong earphones (charging him for more expensive ones) and when he went to get the right item after paying for them they refused to exchange it. When I went to try to help they continued to refuse the exchange and were rude. We are now forced to reach out to the credit card company to fix the situation. The manager of the store, Konte, should be fired.

I will save my hard-earned money and go to GLUT in Mt. Rainer MD. where I can find the exact selection at better prices. The Butcher at Black Lion is extremely rude and unprofessional, I would give no stars if this were an option and I wouldn't trust purchasing meat from an establishment that treats customers poorly.

Black Lion is a wonderful market in Columbia Heights.

There's also several housewares available that are used in coffee ceremonies. The market also carries a solid array of produce, drinks, and dry goods. Prices are reasonable for a corner market like this. Staff are super friendly and often help locate items if they're not readily available on the shelf. In short, this is a great habesha market to visit if you're in DC, especially if you don't have the time or transportation to get to one of the bigger markets in Arlington.

From dried bony fish to dehydrated stock fish to smoked herring as well as salted cod, this place makes it possible for me to be transported back to the cuisine of my formative years. Things like canned palm butter sauce, frozen ground cassava leaves, frozen ground bitter leaves, eddoes, yams, palm oil, gari (farina) habanero peppers, canned bitter balls and fresh cassava (yucca or manioc) can be found almost all the time. The list is endless. I love this store and even though I've recently moved to Baltimore (still work in DC), I make a trip here regularly to get the oh so special ingredient that you'll never find at Whole Foods, or Harris Teeter. Check it out former USAID, Embassy and Peace Corps workers if you have experience with Liberian Cuisine and want a trip down memory lane!

Horrible experience…read more... The owner of the store(asian woman) over charged me for items that came to 5.75 on one day.... and the next day... turned out to be 12.55.... I argued with her but she claims she didnt understand english.... but knows how to over charge and work the register. Convenient. As if tariffs weren't enough.... Will never return. Horrible service. Her husband was also there. These guys are scams. Make sure you ask for prices before hand.

After returning from work, i like to get some inscense or candy for the young ones before getting home. Above it all, I like the Islander accent, along with their caring grandparent smoothness and their hospitable style. But I found this place because my once tweeny daughter use to come down to this store with her friends after school. It's a hot stop spot for Takoma EC, Coolidge Highschool, Whittier Elementary to name those I know of near there.

I noticed…read morethat they have way more pastries and breakfast items than actual lunch, however they had a couple of things that looked like they would be good. I wasn't really in the mood for a burger, but the chicken tenders with potatoes salad seemed like it would go well with my stomach. I requested if it was possible to provide this platter to go and that was straightforward for them. Since I wasn't actually eating inside, there really wasn't anyplace for me to sit so I walked down the block for a few minutes while they were getting the food ready. The person who helped me was nice yet quiet, and I didn't get a lot of feedback as I was checking out the menu. My Hope is that the chicken tenders will still taste the same once they are re-heated

While I waited, I noticed they have a suggestion box too and the owner mentioned a lot of the things they have in the store now came from customer suggestions. Such a cool spot!
