I had a stressful workday so I decided to reward myself with some delivery for a late lunch. I ordered via Postmates and it arrived 5 minutes sooner than originally estimated. The food was still hot when it arrived. Jollof Rice with Fish: The rice with the tomato stew was just the flavor profile I was craving. The inside of the meaty fish was cooked perfectly. However, the outside had lost its crispiness by the time I started eating probably because of the steam generated in the container. I do wish I had more of that stewed tomato sauce as well. It was just a lot of rice and meat with not enough stew. They serve a portion that is big enough for two to share. I ate half and saved the other half for later. Pepper Soup with Goat: The pepper soup is spicy! Not just "pepper spicy," but also "spices spicy." There was plenty of goat and a lot of tendon-y, tender pieces which I love! There was nothing else in the soup but goat, a pepper, and spices. It is definitely more liquid like a soup, not a stew like I was expecting. Still delicious. I also ate the rest of this as another meal. I just threw some kale and corn in it to make it more of a meal. I would definitely get this again. Hopefully the next time I am craving this, it will be safe to dine in again.

After a long day of getting my locs retwisted nearby, I decided to stop here for dinner on my way…read morehome. I didn't realize where the restaurant was located beforehand, so I was a little surprised when I arrived. It's in a very urban area, which may or may not matter depending on your comfort level. There was a decent amount of seating inside if you choose to dine in. The restaurant was okay in terms of cleanliness, but personally, I'd opt for takeout. I originally planned to eat inside but changed my mind once I got there. Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't the best. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, and when I received my order, the takeout container wasn't fully closed and was placed halfway into the bag. I'm not sure if it was just an oversight, but it didn't leave the best first impression. Now, the food, that's where they won me over. Everything was well-seasoned, and the suya had just the right amount of spice. They were out of the vegetable I originally wanted, but I'm actually glad I tried the corn because it was absolutely delicious. And that suya butter sauce? It was the star of the meal! Overall, while the location and customer service weren't my favorite, the food was flavorful enough that I'd come back if I were in the area and craving suya.

We came here on a Thursday night so maybe that's why everything didn't slap as much as I would've liked. The jollof didn't have a ton of flavor or spice, but they have tomato based pepper sauce a medium and an extra hot that adds flavor and spice to the rice. The meat and chicken was a bit dry and hard. The fish wasn't seasoned much. The portions are big and customer service was kind. They had a fairly big menu. We ordered: Suya rice 8/10 (best thing here to me) Attike w/fish 6/10 Jollof rice with chicken and beef 6/10

The food is Ghanaian so you'll find a lot of west African staples here. I ordered their Suya rice with chicken and beef. My wife ordered the acheke with fried fish and ordered a plate of jollof to take home. The suya fried rice was my favorite dish. It's one of their own creations but it's a fried rice with suya spice in it. It's not as spicy as I personally like, but I'm a huge fan of spice so I imagine it's a good level for most people. The jollof was also pretty good. I'll say that the chicken and beef in both the jollof and suya fried rice were a little dry, but they had good flavor to them so it can be overlooked. The acheke was standard for what I expect from it. The fried fish could have used a little bit of seasoning but was fine to go with it. Food took about 20 mins to be cooked but I appreciate that it's done fresh. The service was great! Kevin was the one who took our order and helped us with any additional requests while we ate. Definitely love the soul he adds to the restaurant. The ambiance is pretty casual. The one thing to note is that the parking lot can be a bit small so parking may take more than one try if you have a bigger car.

Very little meat. The flavor was good but for the price, that alone wouldn't make the dish worth it. I decided to try something else today. The person that handled my phone order was so rude. I was simply asking why the price he gave me didn't reflect the online prices. He tells me that he doesn't know and that it was busy and that people were standing in front of him. We were on the phone for all of 3 minutes. So I guess in an attempt to get me off the phone, he repeats the price and tells me to pick up the food. So rude! I just went ahead and canceled the order. You're not about to talk to me crazy and get my money. You should be able to take the time and address your customers valid concerns and questions. That man needs to learn professionalism and work on his customer service skills and phone etiquette. If I were the customer standing there, I would've been turned off by his rudeness. I gave them 2 stars because the meat pie is good, whenever they have them which isn't all the time...

This place gets it SO right, I called my sister out of state and told her she needed to try them ASAP...my real time review was so glowing Sis asked me to ask Ms. Hajara if she shipped cross country! Speaking of Ms. Hajara, she is THE sweetest, most sincere restaurateur I've met in years. Her vibe translates to the food: not ONE bad bite. I was introducing my date to Nigerian food, so I kept our choices basic. But even their basic entrees taste spectacular! So I'm sure the spectacular dishes must be beyond....I can't wait to try the rest of the menu... (Ms. Hajara even offered to look into shipping to my Sis). This place deserves to win. And will. I'm a DC resident & WILL make the intentional trek to return. ...and if I find out they deliver to DC, a few Aunties are about to be demoted (shhhhh!)
