    So I ordered my food on the phone and they said between 20-40 min. So I came in at 45 min and it still was not ready. I had to wait an hr for it. When I got the salmon dish, the salmon was barely the size of my palm! I will never order again. Not only is it poor customer service but not worth the price.

    "Wow, what a delight! Pleroma Food Buffet exceeded my expectations. Variety galore, fresh and flavorful dishes, and impeccable service. A feast for the senses and the wallet. Highly recommend for a satisfying and enjoyable meal out. I will always stop by and eat the grilled fish. Ur buffet was so so good. God bless.

    It's our first time trying African food. Wow it's truly amazingly delicious. I specifically love the spicy goat dish. Or a small portion but at a super balanced taste. We also tried pepper with snail, grilled fish and the beef appetizer. All dishes are nice specifically with the yellow sauce. Service is great as well. Will definitely come back again

    I'm an American, and I must say, this is the finest Nigerian cuisine I've ever experienced. The ambiance here is delightful, and their customer service is remarkably attentive. The goat stew is truly exceptional, and I had my first taste of escargot, which I found quite enjoyable. Even my friend tried the fisherman's soup and had a great experience. This has become my favorite spot for authentic Nigerian cuisine.

    My name is Vivian, it takes a lot to make me write a review, that’s why you should appreciate this one right here. First of all, this place is amazing. I saw a picture of their services from a friend who dined in this restaurant on Valentine’s Day last year 2023. I decided to go have the experience myself and I was not disappointed. From the ambiance to the warm welcome by the owner and staffs to the services was top notch. I’ve been to so many high end restaurants, but the services, food quality at this place was exceptional. My husband and i met other couples who were returning customer, they also admitted to being extremely satisfied with this place. We had a good time last night so if you are looking for warm environment to go relax and eat. This is the one.

    I recently had the pleasure of ordering my dinner at Pleroma Cuisine, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. This restaurant truly exceeded my expectations for a Nigerian restaurant with its exceptional food and remarkable service. Let's start with the star of the my dinner: Isi ewu, grilled tilapia and plantain. Talk about an explosion of flavors, crafted with precision and care. Their entire menu boasted a diverse selection of mouthwatering options, and I found it hard to choose just one. From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for a treat. Both dishes were beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's artistic flair. What made my experience even more exceptional was the impeccable service provided by the staff. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. The owner and his kin were extremely pleasant and genuinely passionate about making sure that the food was to my satisfaction. I got the VIP experience. The ambience of the restaurant was also noteworthy. The elegant decor created a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere, perfect for a memorable dining experience. The lighting was just right, and the soft music playing in the background added to the overall ambiance. Lastly, I cannot forget to mention the attention to detail that was evident in every aspect of the restaurant. From the carefully folded napkins to the polished silverware, it was clear that no stone was left unturned in ensuring a top-notch dining experience. The restaurant's commitment to excellence was palpable and greatly appreciated. In conclusion, Pleroma Cuisine is a hidden gem that deserves to be celebrated. The delicious food, exceptional service, and attention to detail make it a standout culinary destination. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a memorable meal, this restaurant is sure to leave a lasting impression. I highly recommend treating yourself to an unforgettable dining experience at Pleroma—you won't be disappointed!

    Delicious, authentic food! The Abuja-style suya was fantastic! And the egusi and boiled yam was super! The goat soup was spicy and delicious. Great atmosphere! We will be back for more. Thank you!

    We had a reunion with my high school mates at Pleroma Cuisine. Pleroma Cuisine is the place you want to be if you live in MD or you are here visiting. Great atmosphere, very tasty food, extremely clean, and a great spot. Being a really good cook myself, my standard for good food is very high, but Pleroma greatly exceeded my expectations. I’m really impressed at the quality of service. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

    A bit pricey food takes a long to be ready but that’s a good thing lol! But their food is delicious ! I do feel their customer service needs to improve though ! Nobody is ever there when I walk into the front desk kinda odd and gives a bad look! Africans do better !! Other then that their food is delicious !!! A bit expensive they’re large and small is a rip off they are similar portion!! Smh so even if u get small you will still have plenty left like the large I kid u not ! The portion size are kinda similar !

    Amazing food! First time experiencing this cuisine, just wanted to try something different and now I'm hooked! I will definitely be back.....So I'm back with an even better review. I said and I would be back and I meant it. Food is exquisite as usual!! This time I'm bragging about the customer service! I wont go into detail about what happened because it was no ones fault. Even though there was a mishap, it was handled beautifully with the biggest smile on her face. I am HUGE on customer service and I'm seriously impressed. I cant think of enough good things to say about this place!!!

    This is my first time ever trying African food and let me tell you we were not disappointed. My mom and I are always up to try something new! Fefi who is one of the owners and the chef his wife was super helpful in showing us the menu and the different foods that were available. We ordered the Oxtail stew and the seafood Okro The food was exquisite! The chef was super sweet and super nice came out and greeted us and invited us to their Mother’s Day event to which we will definitely attend! Thank you for everything guys we loved your food and will definitely be returning!

    We weren’t sure what to expect with this place, but I’m so glad we went! It was the best African food we’ve ever had. The waitress and bartender were very attentive, and the chef even came out to explain some things on the menu. It definitely feels fancy and has West African music playing for an upbeat vibe. If we ever visit the DC area again, we’ll be sure to come back!

    This is the best place to get authentic African food. Chef Bianka is very passionate and extremely professional. I don’t like eating fish out of my house, but when I got fish from Pleroma, I have never looked back. Don’t sleep on this place.

  • 5/5 Anastasia K. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Happened to come across this restaurant when in Laurel and it was my first time trying African food. The interior is nicely decorated and Bianka was incredibly welcoming and kind! She recommended the African D’jino drink and I got the fish stew along with Jollof rice and fufu. Everything was incredibly flavorful and delicious with good portion sizes and presentation. I’ll be back. Must visit!
