I got the pleasure of learning about Calabash and experiencing their Ghanian cuisine on a Sunday…read moreafternoon and I thoroughly enjoyed. Calabash African Cuisine is an intimate and cute establishment that offers great customer service. And the food, the food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Suya and Waakye, which took my tastebuds back to the delicious dishes my second family always cooked for festivities. I also got the opportunity to try my friend's entree, which was the Banku with the Peanut Soup. Needless to say, the food was flavored and cooked perfectly. Whenever, I'm craving some goodT Ghanian food, I'm glad that I now have a go to... Calabash.

I prefer my oxtails a bit more tender--but honestly, I cook mine for hours.....and haven't had any beyond my home that tender. Also, I could have enjoyed a few more oxtails bites. Beyond that, the portions were GENEROUS. I will definitely order again.

I've been here many times and have tried almost every vegetarian dish. I've enjoyed them all, especially the zalouk. I've also visited with a Moroccan friend, who says the food is authentic. The service is always excellent and personal. Every visit feels like being welcomed as a special guest. The food is great quality for the price, and the mint tea and baklava are delicious too. I'm always happy to come back.

He chatted with us the whole time and recommended the mint tea to us which was delicious and well worth it. My first time really eating Moroccan food but the flavor combinations were good and the preserved lemon and olives used in the dishes were tasty.

Finally got an opportunity to dine here. Ive had the food catered before and this time I was able…read moreto try in house. The establishment itself is quite dated. The awning outside needs refurbishment and inside furniture is not updated. It's dark inside, almost like a night club. Perhaps it is sometimes. I did not like the decor, it was a little run down and honestly did not match up to the prices. The service was also disappointing. I felt that staff lacked a bit of professionalism and they rarely checked on us. The plates are huge. That is a plus. My partner ordered the goat and I tried the red snapper. I think one plate is big enough to share. I like the spinach, but everything needed a bit of salt. While the red snapper was coated in a lovely tomato and red pepper gravy, I felt it made the crispyness of the fried fish disappear and it was kind of soggy. Maybe you can ask for the gravy on the side. The food is not bad, but given the physical establishment and the service I wouldn't return.

Our waiter was so charismatic, helpful, and kind. He even turned up the music in our corner of the restaurant upon request! The food was generally good, just a bit on the drier end. Even the stew wasn't really soupy. So if you were trying to mix some rice with some stew, you basically got cake on your plate. Regardless, everything was seasoned to absolute perfection. Also, don't know if this matters but it may matter to some- though this is an East African Restaurant, the menu is slightly more Kenyan than Ugandan. Something to keep in your expectations when visiting!

I'm so happy I dined at Nazret last night! The service was warm and inviting, and the food was…read moreincredible! We had a variety of dishes, ensuring each bite was a new combination of flavorful vegetables, meats, legumes and spices. Luckily my dining companion knew enough to order extra spiced lentils. A lovely glass of Malbec perfectly complimented our meal. Prices were very reasonable. This is definitely the meal I could never make at home, and I'll be returning regularly.

Nazret is easy to miss -- tucked into the back of a strip mall packed with Ethiopian shops and…read morerestaurants in Baileys Crossroads -- but it's worth seeking out. This isn't a place you stumble onto; it's a place you have to know about, and once you do, you won't stop coming back. Chef Endalk came out to greet our table personally, walked us through the menu, and genuinely seemed invested in making sure we loved the meal. We ordered a generous portion of raw beef for kitfo, and after we sampled a piece, the kitchen happily cooked the rest to a beautiful medium rare -- no fuss, no attitude, just quiet hospitality. The vegetable platter held its own against the meats -- just as vibrant and flavorful, if not more so, with layers of spice in every lentil and green. The samosas were a fun twist too: a lighter, crispier shell closer to an Asian spring roll than the heavier Indian version, stuffed with well-seasoned lentils instead of the usual potato filling. And don't skip the housemade hot tea -- a strong bite of fresh ginger balanced with lemon and honey, the kind of thing you crave again the next cold day. Small room. Big heart. Bigger flavor. If you're chasing "authentic," stop scrolling -- this is it.

While this is a small, relatively simple space, it packs a lot into its menu, and the staff - one wait staff who also helps with the chef in the kitchen - are attentive, patient, and kind. This is truly a gem that may be completely overlooked as it is in a small strip mall next to Subway Sandwiches, but the food and spices seem authentic, and there is an attention to detail and to finesse that one may not have expected in a small place like this. One of the hidden gems in South Arlington along Columbia Pike for Ethiopian food.

The service was very good and friendly. The decor inside is modern and stylish. We were seated at a half booth table, which was perfect. Usually, we opt for a tasting menu, but the Elmina tasting menu is on the steeper side price-wise ($265 per person), so we opted for à la carte. We spent about $260 total, had a surplus of food, and felt like we got to try a lot of the menu. Some of the highlights included the Zaalouk dip, the crab fried rice, and the kebabs! The food was excellent and tasty, but I think we both agreed it did not "blow our minds" like some other similar caliber restaurants do. The flavors were wonderful. I really enjoyed the coconut curry dish with prawns. Overall, we were very pleased with the food and would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion. It was also awesome to try Ghanaian food!

The Smashed Avocados with plantain chips were a table favorite. The waakye had oxtail that contained a good amount of meat.

It's great for a dinner reservation.
