I ordered delivery, and I was impressed with how hot and fresh the omo tuo was, and how large the portion of rice was. The goat meat was tasty, although I would have preferred it be without bone, as I had to use fork and knife, use the container lid as a plate, and fish the goat out to cut the meat off the bone and then put it back into the soup. That wasn’t really a problem as many soups serve bone-in meat despite the idea of it being silly in a soup.
The problem was the hausa koko. I was given an entire store-bought container of ready made soup. Cold. The portion size was huge, and had I been at home with a method to portion it and heat it, I might have been delighted… except, 1) it’s store bought, the restaurant didn’t make it. 2) it was cold and I had no way to portion it out or heat it. I’ve never had it before so I have no idea how it should taste, I’ll admit. But I was only able to try it cold, and it was very much not good. There was no expiration date on it either, so I don’t even know how old it was, so I have no way of knowing if it was terrible or just cold or just not to my taste. Either way, bad choice to send a store bought cold container to someone who ordered the take-out so that they could, I dunno, maybe eat a meal??????? Food for thought, guys. Pun intended.
It was bizarre the way one dish was perfectly hot and ready to eat and the other simply was the exact opposite, not prepared, not cooked, not ready. Why couldn’t the restaurant have simply portioned some into a to-go cup and heated it? I’d never have known it was store bought.
Anyway, if you eat in, I should hope they won’t dump a store bought container in your lap. It’s a bit humorous, but also disappointing, as I was looking forward to trying food I’d never had before.
Recommend the omo tuo, don’t order the hausa koko as they don’t even make it.
Photo attached so you can see what was literally delivered. It had the sealed plastic around the top, which I took off to try it cold, but it was a sealed, store container.

Every single time I’ve either ordered food in person or from Uber Eats from here, I have NOT been disappointed. Best Ghanaian food I’ve had in the DMV so far. The portions are very generous as well, which I appreciate. The owner is so kind and you can tell she’s very passionate about running this restaurant. 10/10!

This establishment is a family affair, and the food has much love, and soul cooked into it. I always enjoy my experience with the owner, his wife, and daughter who are always so kind, and hospitable with everyone. There are always many repeat customers, because the food is fresh, they cook it when you order it, so be patient, and ready to wait a good 30 to 40 mins. I’ve been eating here for the past six years, and there has only been one time I’ve not enjoyed a dish (goat pepper soup, smelled very funky, couldn’t get passed the smell). Palaver, Jolof, Fried Fish or Chicken, Gizzards, Banku, Fudu, Egusi, Red Red, the list goes on with all my favorites, and I recommend these dishes.
My only negative comment about this place it the look of cleanliness, as the ambiance is dusty, and worn, with old table Cloths and decor, half of which is falling apart. Although it has nothing to do with the food, the restaurant should reflect the warm and caring attitude of the owners, and would have a more inviting appeal for new customers, who might not give it a try, just because of its outward appearance.

Never again. I have given them multiple chances because of Uber Eats and there has been some sort of issue each time. Last time we ordered, we ordered jollof rice for my husband and I ordered banku with Tilapia. My husband was unable eat his jollof. Every time we have ordered waakye, the meat has been missing except the fish. Today, we ordered waakye for my husband and tuo zaafi for me…YALL! When I tell you the soup for the tuo zaafi made no sense…! I thought they accidentally added the wrong soup so I called and the lady had an attitude. On top of that, today too, my husbands waakye came with NO meat! Just fish. Even though when I called, she claimed they gave us other meat. They DID NOT. My husband just confirmed that today’s only came with fish! I’m from Ghana and so I would never speak negatively on a Ghanaian restaurant regardless but the attitude that lady gave me on the phone when I called about the soup was absolutely unacceptable! Y’all look at this soup that I attached to this review and tell me…WHEN have yall as Ghanains seen this soup being used to eat Tuo zaafi? Does this look like any type of ayoyo soup to anyone?!

This family owned business is very sweet. They will treat/feed you as if you were one of their own. The flavor of the food was 10/10

After living in Benin, West Africa for over two years from 2012 to 2014 one of the things I miss most is legit African cuisine. I found this place about two months ago, and since have gotten the peanut butter soup with fufu three different times. Each time it reminds me of a similar dish I ate in Benin. I highly recommend this place when you’re hankering for real African cuisine.

I really love the food —especially the waakye. It brings back so many memories of home, not just in the taste but in the way it’s served. It feels warm, familiar, and so comforting.

My husband and I were craving fufu and soup and came upon this place on Google. So glad we found it! The food is very flavorful and delicious. I let her know that I like my peanut butter soup really spicy! It was wonderful, but she also put some pepper ginger on the side and it made it that much better! We will definitely be eating here again.

The place has decent food used to Better. It seems they are trying to teach their daughter to run the business which is understandable, the problem is the daughter is rude. I’ve been going there for years but after my encounter with the daughter I may never come back! I started to check her right there but I didn’t even have the strength to argue. When they say poor customer service believe them bc it’s no lie. The son was nice one time I went but on this visit the daughter is rude! She doesnt want to be there! Also I called in my Oder 30 mins before I arrived and still had to weight like 25 mins. I’ll prob never go back cause I don’t have time for that kinda stuff when I’m spending my hard earned money! Idk who these ppl think they are we have a million places to choose from such as Rahama which is right up the street from them and one of the best being calabash off Van Dorn. So these folks need to get a hold of themselves. Cause times are too hard to think anyone had to spend their money with you….in this economy if you want to last you better check yourself!
