African restaurant
😠 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 pr...

Fava Pot
Egyptian restaurant
👍 Right next to Bub and Pop's (a legendary sandwich spot), Fava Pot is a Egyptian restaurant owned by the kindest people. This space is small, but the two self-order pads help with the flow. My chicken shawarma sandwich was flavorful and large. (It comes in two halves). There's free ice water, but I...

👍 This place opened recently in College Park. I got the goat curry, the meat was cooked and it was tender. It was good. The portion was huge and came with a side of plantains. The plantains were not that sweet. The staff were friendly and they were wearing masks. The place was super clean. I heard the...

😐 My review is not about the lounge itself, but the food. I've picked up a food order, the signature suya. It came with 2 sides and I chose the fried rice and fried plantains. The lady who helped me was very polite and answered the questions I had about the menu. The fried rice is very tasty and the s...

👍 We went on a Sunday which was great because not many people. Service was amazing! I just wish their entree includes side like plantain and chapati ( Kenyan flat bread, probably misspelled that). I had to pay extra for them. Overall I would recommend the place.
