    Agama Kitchen was a cozy little African spot in Bladensburg at the end of one of my days and I knew the overall area all too well. Solid selection of food, like my favorite jolloff rice, and a pickup of beverages for the rest of that weekend a couple doors down made for a day…

    Smooth shoot at Mr. M’s with plenty of jolloff rice for me to ogle.

    KOF cafe was one of the more surprising shoots out of my early days through Bowie, MD, for the garnished snail alone. Whoever is familiar with French escargots has probably never seen snails the size of a green pepper half, and apparently those are a thing in African cuisine! Then there was the usual jolloff…

    Golf Ultra Lounge was one of my early and first African places and all of the food looked new and interesting to me. Smooth shoot here, and the place is still around today.

    9th street above Mt. Vernon Square in DC used to house this absolute mess of an attempt at success that was called 1230 Restaurant. I had 3 reschedules here until both owner and chef decided to present themselves on the same day, but cooking went abysmally slow and made me short of an hour late…

    5 Sisters was a smooth sailing gig at the end of one night and the menu did not disappoint as well as the sheer size of this restaurant and bar.

    Another lovely and homey African spot in a different direction from the usual DC direction and surrounding pockets of MD, and that changed the atmosphere of this place entirely. Lovely shoot with some very good food and owners to boot! Very clean and opulent presentation that definitely reflects the portions you get here.

    Lee’s was one of the favorite earlier African spots because their jolloff rice was amazing and both chicken and fish entrees came with an very generous coating of tomato garnish. I’ve been back here with friends several times after the shoot and it was awesome to see them incorporate all of my work into their…

    Yummy in My Tummy is a very cozy, almost hidden Jamaican and African, family-run restaurant right off of Georgia Aveneue in Wheaton, MD, but aside from excellent food they’re famous for their in-house made ice cream and gelato. Can never go wrong shooting good African cuisine and especially when I’m weak to seeing suya (and…

    Jolloff Etcetera is an nice little Nigerian restaurant off of Annapolis Road in Woodlawn, Hyattsville, MD (now redefined as Landover Hills). Great food and great jolloff rice especially! Definitely recommend checking this place out! And the one and only place that introduced me to the magic of jolloff rice!

    While confusing to locate via Google Maps and even by trying to look for a wrong name on-foot, Afrik Grill downtown Silver Spring delivers some serious African cuisine! Various grilled fish, small plates, jollof rice, suya, and many more! Absolutely worth a visit, and you can dance your calories off come later in the night.…
