(This review is for the restaurant on Richmond Highway in Alexandria, VA) Had a graving for some peanut soup and fufu. I have been to a few African restaurants in the DMV and have never been impressed. Food is usually mediocre and overpriced with small portions. This place didn't disappoint. Staff is friendly, prices are great, portions are more than enough, and the food is great. I got the peanut soup with goat and Jolloff rice with meat. No complaints whatsoever!

Food was nasty and they never have anything on the menu you want. Peanut butter stew was horrible and explains as well. The joloff rice nasty and was not even seasoned and the fufu was probably box mashed potatoes

All-kinds-of-wrong happened when I came to this restaurant. It 's very greasy-spoon type place with dirty plastic bags as curtains to cover the kitchen. Service took about two rings until a lady came out chewing and wearing food. There was a man previously at the counter, but left as soon as we walked in. I ordered online, but they could not find it. The man kept calling me over to the counter and grabbing at my phone to see the order. Finally, after 2 hours of waiting, we got our order. The man would call us to pick up the order, then grab the order and look through it. And, again, grabbing at my phone to see the order for the 10th time.I tell you...it was like I was in a comedy skit or being punked.
