    I had the best latte that I've had in Baltimore so far. They have strong Wi-Fi so I was able to work from home. Afrobeat music playing in the background. I will be back

    Matzo & Melon Suya Bite
    Giliane L.

    It was my first time visiting, and I went for a private event the chef recently started hosting on Fridays. The food was good, and I enjoyed what I tried. I can't speak for the regular dining hours, but based on other reviews it seems experiences may vary. I'm not very familiar with African cuisine, so I can't compare it to other spots, but overall I thought the food was tasty.

    Mint Hibiscus Lem
    Sabrina S.

    Instagram brought me here! I had been dying to try Nigerian cuisine and this was the top rated location for Baltimore. It's a super casual spot. It seems most people order takeout but there are several tables to dine in and the cool thing is that they have some board games you can play while you wait (which may be a little while). Ola, the owner, is just as friendly and hospitable as he appears to be online. Here are the things we tried: Hibiscus Mint Lemonade 9/10 - Very similar to sorrel but the mint makes it stand out. Tasty! Meat Pie 8/10 - Think ground beef stuffed biscuit. Egusi (no protein) & Fufu 7/10 - The experience of eating this was fun! The stew was savory and flavorful but had a bitter aftertaste. If it weren't for the aftertaste I would have finished the bowl. Jollof Rice 100/10 - The real star of the show! I wanted to bust down this plate so bad but I'm "dieting". Once my diet is over, I'll be back for a LARGE side. Chicken Shawarma 8/10 - So it's made with chicken pieces and a chicken hotdog, which I did not know at the time I ordered. I've never had a hotdog in shawarma so I was hesitant. The wrap ended up being delicious, the chicken hotdog didn't mess it up but I don't think it was needed. Beef Suya 7/10 - The cooking style makes some parts tender, some parts crispy, and some parts chewy. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was all one texture. Also the pepper seasoning on top was a little heavy; it didn't make it spicy but it did give it a bite. I think I could have done with a little less or ordered it on the side so I could control it. Posi's Fries 9/10 - The actual fries were perfect!!!!!! The pepper seasoning was just a bit overpowering - again I'd order this in the side so I can control it. But the fry sauce was also pretty good; the best I can compare it to is a sweeter/thinner yum-yum sauce.

    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

    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.

    Nailah's has been one of my favorite restaurants for years. I love the chicken and lamb shawarma.read more

    This is the best dibi lamb I've had!…read more My first introduction to dibi lamb was at a Malian restaurant in West Philadelphia in the early 2000s. Since that time, I rotate between poisson and dibi whenever I get Senegalese food. West African restaurants are a dime a dozen in Philadelphia, but a lot of the food is just ok, with many of my favorite restaurants changing hands over the years and after COVID most of the food is meh at best. I recently had dibi at the gold standard for Senegalese food in Philadelphia and was disappointed. Fortunately, I have been able to order poisson and dibi from a Malian woman near me and I can make a passable version in a pinch. Two weeks ago, a friend posted on FB that this was the best meal she had ever had. As this was someone I know to have a breadth of experience with food, I was intrigued by the recommendation. So, while attending a conference in the area, I decided to give it a try. Unlike the Senegalese restaurant I recently visited in Chicago, this place was nice - the furnishings, decorations, and even the restroom was modern but authentic. The customer service was also refreshing. As soon as he set the plate down I knew it was going to be spectacular. There was a glorious aroma wafting from the lamb (which I'd ordered spicy), the plantains weren't glistening with oil, and the yassa condiment was a unexpected treat. The lamb was tender, seasoned to perfection and honestly I was so enamored with the food that I texted my friend to concur with her assessment. I was stuffed but didn't want the meal to end and I didn't want to leave. When I finished, I went to wash my hands and when I returned to the table I was disappointed that I had eaten it all. It was truly an outstanding meal with remarkable service. I wish them longevity and success because I intend to return with my family so they too can experience the deliciousness.

They all have a cozy, soulful vibe. We had a reservation in the dining room and it felt like a New York night in a Brooklyn brownstone (very chic). Our server was also our bartender, Ari, and he took excellent care of us. The sound system cocktail is his creation and it was reportedly a 10/10. I'm not a big drinker so he recommended the house made ginger beer--divine! They were out of snapper this night but we were able to substitute the fish in our dishes for branzino. My friend really enjoyed her fish dinner and raved about the slaw. My peri peri sandwich was sooooo good--I do think the snapper would have elevated the flavor but no complaints. I also substituted my fries for collard greens. They were delicious, a little sweet but tasty nonetheless. For dessert, we ordered the bread pudding. I really enjoyed it but if you're not a fan of nuts I may recommend another item. It's rare, but it's so special when you find a place that makes you feel like your family is in the kitchen. I highly recommend spending an evening here and I will for sure be back.

But what makes Mama Koko's even more special is the experience. The owners and staff are incredibly warm, down-to-earth, and welcoming. It feels like going to your mama's or auntie's house, sitting down with your cousins, eating good food, and just enjoying everything that is Black greatness. The music, art, style, culture, and energy are all part of it. They feature local artists, the soul, R&B and hip-hop are always playing, everybody is fly, and the whole space just feels GOOD. Amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing people, amazing atmosphere. Mama Koko's is Baltimore at its best.
