    Beef shawarma, Raspberry Crème Matcha
    Tull O.

    Absolutely love the place! Yummy matcha options like apple pie matcha and raspberry crème matcha with condensed milk. Lami was so sweet! Their beef shawarma is SO good, and the fact that it's halal blew me away.

    Fish Stew and Chicken Stew
    Brie D.

    The food was okay; it was well-seasoned. However, I've had authentic African food, and the spice (spiciness) wasn't there. The portions were a good size, and I could tell they take pride in plating. I ordered to-go, and everything was individually packaged, nice and neat. This 100% didn't cure my craving, so I'll have to make my way to Silver Spring sometime this week. Plantains - 5/10 Pounded yam - 9/10 Efo Riro spinach - 9/10 Posi's Jollof rice - 7/10 Fish stew - 8/10 Chicken stew - 7/10 If you do not like spicy food or would like to be introduced to African cuisine, this would be your place.

    Fried Rice
    Jessica A.

    I came here on a Saturday evening a couple months ago. It was a rainy evening and pretty quiet, so the workers were pretty attentive and oh so friendly! The decor is really beautiful, and it's definitely a nice place to sit down with friends and family for a meal. The wait for food was a little long, but the food tasted great so it was worth the wait. I ordered the shrimp with jollof, and the shrimp suya had a flavorful sauce on it, and one of the owners mentioned it was their special sauce. I'm usually not used to sauce on suya shrimp but it was a good addition. Both the jollof and fried rice were flavorful and I would definitely order again!

    Posi's Jollof
    Barry S.

    I only wanted to try some jollof rice because I'm the search for the best jollof rice in the city! It was good and had a nice flavor to it. It's neat and clean here. The customer service here was cool. The guy was friendly. I will come back to try some other things from the menu.

    Cute entryway!

    I had been eying this afro-fusion restaurant for a few months...Went in on a Friday night closer to 9. We planned to dine in and ordered egusi, efo riro and swallow, jollof rice and fried plantain (dodo). They were spinning Afrobeats which I loved. We sat for about 20 mins and realizing no one else around us had food, decided to get takeout instead. They told us they'd call when it was ready but about 40 mins went by with no call. Finally we called and were told the food was ready. By then I was frustrated but then my anger melted away once I tasted the food. It was delicious! The egusi was flavorful and spicy, so was the efo riro. Get efo if you want more veggies (spinach forward). The jollof rice was BANGIN. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more food! But I would definitely plan for takeout and call ahead unless you want a nice leisurely experience.

    Whole Tilapia. Very dry and not fresh tasting :(  Tilapia

    I went to Posi's earlier today and ordered a whole Tilapia and 2 sides for $30?! I've been prior for other entrees, and a friend has once gotten the Tilapia and shared with me a few years back. But I had no idea it was going to be $30. I was really excited because I felt that if I was paying $30, this tilapia was going to be amazing. I got it home and was very, very sad. The tilapia was fried so hard and as I continue to eat, it had such a fishy taste. It didn't taste like a fresh fish. I am very accustomed to African cuisine, and was super excited about this Tilapia. But I couldn't even get a 1/4 of the way through it. It was missing all the succulence of a whole cooked fish. I was so sad about how unpleasant it was to eat. It also comes with a cream sauce on it, that from the pictures always looked like WAY too much, so I asked for it on the side. In hindsight, maybe this sauce is used to deter from some of the downfalls of this fish. This review was not made lightly, I love supporting local businesses. The inside of the restaurant and ambiance is great. I enjoyed reading inside while I waited for my food. But, I am most likely not returning :/

    Do too much and jollof rice
    Madhurima D.

    Ordered 'Do too much' and jollof rice. Do too much came with white rice, meat in green chili curry and boiled egg and boiled plantains. Everything was delivered hot and well packed. Food was delicious! Loved the jollof rice and plantains. Green chili curry was a bit spicy for me, not too hot though.

    Just moved to DMV with my fiancée and we have been missing authentic Nigerian food. Posi's kitchen is not only authentic but infused. It's Afro fusion that has kept its roots. The egg rolls were nice and crispy, the puff puff was sweet and sooo soft. The Ayamase (do to much) was delicious, flavorful and spicy. Just the way I like it. The customer service was amazing and they were so attentive. Will definitely be back! We were full but emptied the plate. Cant wait to see this place blow.

We walked over (still icy ugh) but made it in and were seated. Interior was very nicely done up with wicker basket light fixtures and a nice colorful mural above the host stand. Our server AJ took great care of us- they were funny, attentive and very friendly. For restaurant week the menu honestly was fantastic with many options for every person's palate and dietary preferences. I went with the octopus appetizer, squid ink bucatini with calamari, and a pound cake with lemon curd and mint whipped cream. Every single thing I had was delicious. The octopus was grilled perfectly and tender and the bean puree and potato paired nicely. The pasta was umami and not too tomatoey or acidic. My pound cake was tasty with the tanginess of the curd pairing well with the whipped cream. My boyfriend enjoyed his mushroom soup, his mushroom bolognese rigatoni( i tried this, I would absolutely order this next time)and a decadent chocolate tart. If you're reading this and they extended their restaurant week menu, go now and enjoy a fantastic meal.

Their brunch is great, their tacos are yummy and they have so much variety in terms of meat/veg and flavor profile. The first taco I ever tried was the Bang Bang cauliflower taco and I'm pretty sure I ordered it every single time I went there for a year. I also love steak taco, and at one point there was a taco take had Korean inspired flavors that was super yummy but it's no longer on the menu. For drinks I love the Julio smash and the red sangria. I also love that they always have bottomless mimosas. There's always ample seating inside and outside. However, if you're sitting on the outside that's closest to the harbor, you're kind of in the outskirts and I'm not gonna lie the two times I've sat on that far side it almost felt like our server completely forgot about us but you're by the water, it's nice and sunny, there's a nice breeze. It's also great for people watching or if you just want a little bit more privacy. The service is usually great, they are frequently training staff tho. I'm not sure if it's just a summer thing and maybe they have younger college aged adults who just need a summer gig, but once the weather gets nice there's a higher chance of you getting a server whose simultaneously training someone or you have a trainee as your waiter and then someone comes every so often asking how they're doing. Not a big deal but it can get a little annoying. Either way the food is great, the drinks are great, the location is perfect for the summer time and they have friendly staff. I will always be a regular there.

Service: We were seated quickly, which was a great start. Unfortunately, after that it felt like we were mostly forgotten. Once our server came back, everything seemed rushed as if they were trying to catch up. Taste: The food itself was underwhelming. The salsa tasted like it came straight from a jar, and the tacos we ordered were very Americanized with little authenticity or standout flavor. Ambiance: This is where the restaurant really shines. The location right on the harbor is beautiful and the overall vibe is relaxed, making it a great spot to sit outside and enjoy the waterfront. Overall, the setting is excellent, but the food and service didn't live up to the hype.

I had the Kolhapuri Goat Curry & Gatlic this Naan bread, both of which are fantastic choices. The broth of the curry was nice and rich with a good level of spice, much of what a good curry should have. The goat itself had a bit more bones than I'd prefer, but overall even those were extremely tender & flavorful. Additionally I had used the Naan bread to help finish up the broth, which ended with a very satisfying comfort meal. The service & ambiance itself was also a pleasure. I personally prefer small establishments to avoid unnecessary noise while dining. Mix that with the incentive staff and you'll definitely enjoy yourself on your vist here, much like I did.

The queso was also disappointing--it was more like stringy melted cheese rather than the traditional creamy dip. I spent over $100 on food and left feeling let down. That said, it's still a nice restaurant overall. I visited on a beautiful day and was able to enjoy the patio, and the service was quite good. Our waiter was both attentive and helpful however I would likely not go back for food.
