    Food was delicious and huge portions. Well worth the money. It was my first time having Sierra Leonian food so the guy working gave me a sampler plate. The place seemed more of a summer vibe than winter but that didn't matter. I can't wait to come back. They mention they do fufu Friday. Can't wait to come back. It was SO GOOD

    Authentic Cassava Leaves with Plantains and Jollof Rice

    Listen baby when I want cassava leaf and Jollof rice, I go here!! The food is so good. I have literally waited for the jollof rice to finish cooking because I don't want to go anywhere else and get it. The people that work there are nice and have great service and they always give good recommendations. I go there so much they know my order. I love this place. There is also space for you to sit and wait the atmosphere is good for carry out. O yes they also give you a lot of food so it's worth the price which isn't unreasonable.

    Amazing food! A little oily though. Super kind service but would definitely recommend going there earlier rather than later because they run out of things super fast. It's more of a grab and go place than a sit down but they have a little bit of seating.

    Although they don't honor the 5% off from the Yelp app, I did thoroughly enjoy my jollof rice and cassava! The spice level was perfect and it was filled with chicken and oxtail. The jollof rice was seasoned well. The restaurant is a pretty big and it does have an outside area as well. The food is served buffet style which at first I was on the fence about but everything was hot and fresh! The pricing was pretty reasonable as well so I will definitely be back.

    Tola

    I stopped here for takeout and tried their tola over rice with plantains. I've never had food from Sierra Leone before, so I was really curious to try it and had had this spot recommended to me. For me, none of the food really hit. The sauce was a little bland, the meat was a bit tough, and the plantains (though fried fresh in front of me) were kind of chalky and not sweet, like they weren't fully ripe. Overall, it wasn't bad food, but it wasn't good either, and I didn't feel compelled to finish my meal. The good news is they give you super generous portions, so one dish could easily feed you 2-3 meals, which helps justify the $20 price point. Still, I thought the flavor wasn't really there to justify the price. I won't speak to authenticity or anything like that because I'm not familiar with how tola normally tastes, but I definitely know when meat is tough or plantains are dry, so for me it was just okay. I wouldn't go back based on this experience, but they have a wide variety of dishes and for all I know the Jamaican side of the menu is a lot stronger. The other thing to flag is the prices don't match the menu - the tola was listed as 15.50 but rung up at 18.50 (plus mandatory 3% service surcharge). I brought it up at the time but they said all items on the menu ring up at the same price, which doesn't make a lot of sense, because then why would you list different prices by them on the menu?

    This is a very clean establishment. The aroma called me in from the street and I'm so glad I stopped in to try the food. They serve Jamaican and African (Sierra Leone) cuisine. I had the potatoe leave greens because I've been missing them for so long living on the west coast. It was just as I remembered it should be. They don't have pepper sauce which was disappointing and the plantain was simply ok but the main dish, the service, the cleanliness & friendliness of the establishment definite makes up for that minor inconvenience. Highly recommend this place if you enjoy egusi, cassava leaf, potato greens etc.

    Oxtail Dish

    Sweet Sweet Kitchen is the fusion restaurant of your dreams that you didn't know you needed. A marriage between Jamaican and Sierra Leonian flavors, this H street fixture packs a huge flavor punch. My favorite combination is the jerk chicken plate with jollof rice and cabbage. Other strong highlights include brown stew chicken, oxtail, cassava leaves, and plaintain. The servers (shoutout RIhanna!) are very kind and will give you extra sauce and hefty portions upon request. In a busy H street with numerous options, consider Sweet Sweet Kitchen for a weekday comfort meal.

    I randomly stumbled upon this restaurant as I walked down H Street looking for a bite to eat. I'm a big fan of both Caribbean and African foods, so I was excited to take a look at the menu and see that this restaurant offers both. The menu is small, and I appreciate that because it means that the restaurant will likely master whatever dishes it offers for consumption. Aside from the food, the restaurant also has a small number of soft drinks and water to offer as well. I also appreciated that they let me sample what they were serving that day, as a lot of the items sounded good and I couldn't make up my mind. I ended up going with the oxtail. It was pricy, but I must admit that they give you a nice portion of meat. The combo also came with two sides - I chose jollof and plantain. The jollof was good, and the plantain was perfectly ripe, but I'm annoyed that it only came with 3 measly pieces of plantain. As much as the combo cost, they certainly could have increased that portion size. Even though I didn't order it this time, the curry chicken that I sampled was GREAT. It's perfectly spicy and very flavorful. I will likely get that or the cassava leaf next time I return. Food aside, the inside of the restaurant is small, with a few tables to dine at on the inside, and a fairly sizable patio with tables on the outside. I initially wanted to dine inside the restaurant, but the tables looked like they hadn't been wiped down since they built the place. Other than that, I enjoyed my experience here, and will definitely be back to try the other menu items.

    Would stay far away from here! I found them on google went to place an order my order was $340 I was given a confirmation code and wait time. I called the restaurant and was given attitude and told my order wasn't seen I asked for a manger to find my order they asked me to come in and they would fix it. After arriving they gave more attitude and still did not fix my order only asking me to cancel the original and pay again. Why would I do that??? Not only that but your website made me order on clover and it's your payment processor at the restaurant how are you telling me I'm doing something wrong. Stay far far away from these scum they give Jamaica a bad taste

    Food is great here, I normally visit the location in silver spring. The food is pretty much consistent at both locations. My favorite is the curry goat. The best in the DMV area. The one difference here I noticed a kiosk to place your order and there is outdoor seating available here.

    Sweet Sweet did not disappoint. In town for the week but always like to try out different spots. Upon entry the staff was very welcoming. Of course we came with questions and typically like to ask what is recommended. The staff didn't rush us and we actually engaged with some of the customers as well regarding options. That's great but what was the best is the sweet lady working literally lined up everything we typically eat and were interested in for us to try out the food. This was probably the worst because everything was amazing! We ended up ordering cassava leaves, brown stew chicken, and jerk chicken. Wanted some etgusi as well but knew we wouldn't get through all the food. Portion sizes were huge! Literally 3-4 people could eat off one plate. Based off what we ordered I can't determine a favorite because it was all so good. Inside is clean but small with outdoor seating. If you're in the DC area don't hesitate to come here. Literally anything off the menu is good.

    Sweet Sweet Kitchen is clean and tidy on a corner with easy parking. There is a nice patio area for outdoor seating on balmy days. We ordered a bit of everything and loved very bite. I'd say my favorites were the cassava leaves and oxtail. The jollof rice was excellent as well. My mouth was hot and my stomach was happy!

    Breakfast at Tiffany has always been a classic film, but pairing that iconic name with royal…read moreOttoman family recipes takes the experience to another level entirely. We stumbled upon this new restaurant on the H Street corridor 8th street--a neighborhood that can feel a bit rough around the edges--but what we found inside was nothing short of a true gem. The moment we stepped in, we were stunned by how beautifully designed the space is. The décor feels warm, elegant, and thoughtfully curated, offering a calm retreat from the busy street outside. But the real magic arrives on the plate. Every dish we tried showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients, layered flavors, and a clear respect for the rich culinary heritage of the Ottoman and Istanbul royal family traditions. You can taste the care and legacy behind every recipe. This is not just another brunch spot--it's a place where history, culture, and freshness come together in a way that feels both authentic and elevated. They have both the upstairs and downstairs of the building. Upstairs is a great social gathering with a bartender and the back patio is nicely renovated that can host pet in the summer months. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely proud of what the restaurant offers. It's rare to find a place that surprises you in all the right ways, but Tiffany's Bistro & Bar does exactly that. A beautiful concept, executed with heart. We can't wait to come back.

    Let's start off on a good note- the ambience was amazing -super cute! The espresso martini's 10/10!…read more But then the food came... we paid $9.00 for what was called biscuits. When one thinks of a biscuit they think of a fluffy savory item that is a least the size of your palm. These "biscuits" were a joke! Hard as a rock and the size of a cracker!!! Either change the description on the menu or reduce the price significantly- heck do both!! Then the main items came out- we were there for brunch. We asked for over easy eggs, and all the eggs came out overcooked. The sausage was burnt to a crisp and lacked flavor. Given this is a Mediterranean cuisine the flavor should be popping! We had to send the food back at that point! The food that was returned back to us was not any better. This place had potential but the chef really needs to reevaluate his menu items and the final dish that is served to patrons. Would t not recommend.
