West African Restaurants near Bladensburg, MD

“Went here on a humbug slow night. I still liked the vibe. It was just me and the homie touring the city night life. The atmosphere was on point. Nice Jamaican vibes. Great dj. I heard the food was good. Didn't get that far but definitely going back to hang “

“Delicious meal. This woman Joan can cook. Everything was cooked to perfection, tender tasty. I ordered Egusi soup!!! She was kind and had great service too. It’s also one of the less expensive places I’ve seen. I’ll be gone my back today.“

“Awesome food, great service & awesome energy!!!“

“Aduke’s kitchen DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. Period. Catered two events with this business and both brought on the WOW factor. Some people caterer as a business and means of income, others as a passion and something they enjoy. For Aduke’s kitchen, it’s so clear to see this is a passion because the service and excellence is amazing, thoughtful, and tasty!“

“Love the food and the customer service“

“Things I love about Mansa Kunda:A- Covid safe! A large beautiful patio, and the inside is big, airy, and almost never crowded!B- The service. These guys treat you like family and it’s super kid friendly. Also the decorations are BEAUTIFUL.C- THE FOOD! I will crave their jollof couscous for the rest of my life. The afra chicken — how do they do that?? Crispy and salty with a little char and a liiiiittle spice (my toddler ests it). My husband loves the peanut butter chu. Also there is an insane selection of DELICIOUS house made desserts.Truly love this place!Kid-friendliness: The staff are so sweet and there is lots of room to run around. Plus: the bird phone!“

“The food I ordered (lamb & goat w/ rice) was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ginger & pineapple drink is made with a kick of a spicy ingredient but it is very refreshing.Overall you get a good portion for your money.Be patient, the service is a little slow but the food is worth the wait.“

“The best restaurant in USA“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere, highly recommended“

“Dibi lampchops and Yassa Chicken have some now!!!! This is one of those classic ethnic hole in the wall restaurants with a very humble small seating area, and very flavorful food. The lamb was cooked perfectly, and sizzles with flavor. They gave us a huge portion of caramelized onions, which you just smother all over the rice and it’s heavenly. The chicken was fantastic on the spicy side, but very tasty. I also had a ginger juice drink that tasted similar to ginger beer. Just a tip they don’t have club soda so you might want to bring some and mix it with that ginger drink and it will be very similar to ginger beer. This is located in a walkable area in Hyattsville (which is a hidden gem). We will be back for sure.“

“The food is amazing!! Very well seasoned and the meat is veryyy tender. The decorations are beautiful with white flowers covering the ceiling. We were a big party and our server Charity was very patient with us and took care of us well. Definitely recommend!!“

“The food is really good in this little hole in the wall resteraunt. I had the pounded yam and egusi soup. It was a delicious assortment of meats in the soup. Additionally the soup was spiced well. The pounded yam also tasted like it was made with high quality ingredients rather than the powder instant pounded yam you make with boiling water. Now for the not so good. As good as the food is it's hit or miss wether they will have the food available. There have been a few times I've gone there, mouth watering, and ordered some pounded yams and egusi, oxtails, etc only to be told we are out today. My advice is to save yourself the trip and call your order in ahead of time. Which will help mitigate issue number two ...the wait can be very long depending on what's ordered. Most of the times I've been there there were only a handful of customers but the wait time stretched to about 30 minutes+. Yes I know this isn't McDonald's but when it's only you and another customer I think the food should come out faster. Regardless I still give them my business because the food is that good.“

“tasty food and good service“

“Great, no-frills West African place. Jodeem easily outpaces regional competitors on flavors. Earthy, spicy, sweet in all the right proportions. We got the bitter leaf soup with beef, spinach and beans with chicken, and beef patties. The bitter greens were the clear winner in fragrance and “
