But it's easy to spot very boldly decorated. I called 20 minutes in advance, and when I got there, they were able to hand it to me after I paid without delay. They gave me a good amount of suya and I actually liked that they gave you a paste option for spices as well as the powder option. I prefer the powder, but the paste was also great and together, it lasted the whole bowl. Personally, I like onions, wish there was a little more inside, but that's very minor. The suya itself was a good cut of meat and well cooked, not too tough with good fat content ! would recommend!

100% their food has STEPPED UP!!! I've been here more than a handful of times. My 1st encounter was…read moremany years ago when they first opened. HATED IT then, but I gave it another shot (well, many now), and I'm so glad I did. Recently went there for lunch and did takeout of what I enjoy the most: white rice and stew with chicken and spinach (nothing spicy, please). The portions are LARGE; the food is well seasoned and very tasty. The location is within a mall, decor is takeout style, nothing spectacular. It's a small place with a huge sign. I usually take my food to go. They have small eating tables inside and outside (inside the mall) if that makes sense. Their service is decent. They always allow me to test some items to ensure it's not too spicy. They are nice, not welcoming, but not mean. Their faces always have a perplexed look like they are trying to figure you out and not judge you (scrunched up face). As you're ordering, you can also take a quick peek behind the staff serving you to see what and how they cook the food. I like that. You pay behind a glass wall, but they bring your food out directly through a side door. Overall, this place deserves 5 stars!

I searched for a restaurant serving jollof rice in my area and decided upon The Hunger Tamer. They…read morehave their prices listed online for catering trays and you're able to either order online or call your order in. They do ask for at least 48 hours for catering orders so make sure to give yourself enough time. That being said, I was overjoyed when they were able to provide a trade for me within 24 hours. It was just jollof rice so it might not have been as difficult if it had been a main entree but nonetheless I was able to pick it up that evening but ordering over the phone that day of. I had never been into that shopping center before so it was interesting to see the other businesses sharing the space. I walked in about 10 minutes before they close however I called to inform them I was on my way and was quickly greeted. I didn't know stew came with jolloff rice and when I was offered it, I declined. When the young lady in the back told me it comes with it, I then said oh yes, of course. They called it stew so I thought it was a bowl of soup lol. Turns out, you actually put it over the jollof rice and Game Changer! The jolloff wasn't overly powered with flavor or vegetables mixed within but I'm guessing that's what the stew is for. I definitely would order her catering trays from them if I need them in the future. I couldn't get enough of that rice and had to stop myself from eating it. It was a perfect base for the bowls I made for a catered lunch. I wanted suya and jollof but they only offer jollof so that's what I went with from them. Pick up an ordering was extremely easy

I now understand why this place had no customers. 1. The…read morefood is overpriced. 2. The rice tasted old--its texture made that obvious. (Came back to add the rice tastes like the pan was dirty). 3. The plantains had a strange taste and texture. They were dry and completely flavorless. 4. The beef--oh my. It was tough, bland, and served in a ridiculously small portion. I need to emphasize the portion size again--it was tiny. When I cut the beef in half and took a bite, I immediately realized it wasn't good. I went to the counter and politely asked if I could swap the beef for fish instead. I was told "No."--unless I paid for an entirely new plate. The reason? Because I had already taken a bite. Well, yes, I had--how else would I know it was bad? Overall, this place deserves zero stars. They didn't have any drinks available either. The customer service was poor--they simply didn't care whether I was satisfied or not. They got their $35, and that was the end of it. We won't be back, and we'll make sure our friends and family know this place is not worth their time or money. As for the ambiance--it was clean, but it was clear they don't get many customers. Now I understand why.

But seeing them attempt this buffet concept for Valentine's Day, Easter Sunday (when I went), and now again for Mother's Day this Sunday? I actually respect the initiative Everybody is always shouting rubbish this ____, and rubbish that ___ meanwhile OUR OWN cultural foods are sitting right here in Silver Spring looking delicious and full of flavor. When I say all the staples were THERE, I mean THEY WERE THERE Amala Moi moi Pepper soup Jollof rice Fried rice Everything hot, fresh, flavorful and tasting like somebody's mother entered that kitchen with warning And can we discuss the drinks please?? Non alcoholic but SWEET, refreshing and pairing perfectly with all the food. Very family friendly atmosphere too. You can bring auntie, uncle, cousins, everybody Now let me tell the truth small because you know I don't lie for reviews The wait time? Hmmm. Table organization? They can improve that one too because people were kinda just standing around confused at moments. BUT no wahala this is still a new venture for them and honestly I can already see the vision. The most important thing for me? Their service was AMAZING and they accepted feedback very well instead of doing attitude. That part matters. I actually want to see this succeed because we need more innovative African food experiences in the DMV that push our cuisine to the forefront instead of acting like only tacos and burgers exist outside Jollof Etc Silver Spring, Maryland

She lacks basic manners, phone etiquette, and respect for patrons. She even hung up the phone when I called to confirm an order that I had called in and paid for in advance - an order of $200+! Even if it was $2, you don't address anyone patronizing your restaurant in that manner. I would recommend trying the Silver Spring location where the receptionist/hostess is far more polite, respectful, and committed to finding a resolution.

So the first time it was really good and I was like I'm gonna come back the second time it did not taste the same. It was like pieces in it that kind of felt like wood. I'm not sure what the brown pieces were that were in at this time, but it was a bunch of them. I really didn't like that and it wasn't in there the first time but it was still decent and it's close to my home so I went a third time when I wanted some fufu and Egusi but this time it was no flavor. I end up having to put a little sea salt in it to spruce it up a little bit which I just don't wanna have to do. I also got the peanut butter soup with chicken and jollof rice. The portion for the peanut soup and jollof and chicken was great. The flavor was zero... a major major disappointment. I was so disappointed that I wish I can go and get my money back because I tried to spruce it up but it was just nothing to revive it. No Bueno not good at all so mad I wasted my money on that. The ambience is just basic Mom and Pop African shop. Nothing grand and the service is OK. It's just basic service. Nothing too special. Although the first time I went in there with my son and I told the woman, my son's name she insulted me by saying oh that's the problem with you Americans ... and thats the difference between Americans and Africans. Insanely rude to say to somebody who supporting your business because she didn't like my child's name so I guess that's not great customer service. She should focus more on the flavor of her food and not with people named their children.
