    And of course the name was Disbe Good, not Desbe Good like the corpos passed down to me….so very typical for a desk jockey that can’t even seem to google anything right….. This crew with the owner, Phil, at the helm do an amazing Africa-inspired takeout plates with both proper, juicy, and tender suya, as…

    9th street above Mt. Vernon Square in DC used to house this absolute mess of an attempt at success that was called 1230 Restaurant and Akwaaba Lounge at some point as well. This was was among the record holders for consistent bails and reschedules and eventually went under. DC isn’t exactly an overall flavor town,…

    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.

    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…

    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.…
