I had dinner here last night with a large group & ordered family-style platters of various dishes. Everything that I tried was so good! My favorite dishes were the Joloff rice & goat soya. 10/10 would recommend it! Don’t forget to try the Moloue cocktail. So good

I love coming here. Amazing fresh food and great drink specials. Staff are always attentive. The music on the weekends set a lounge vibe without the vip section prices.

This is one of the BEST restaurants in the Washington DC area for a birthday party or group dinner! It's in the town square with free parking evenings and weekends, near the metro and has plenty of space for parties as big as 150 or as small as 6. The food is excellent and they have really interesting signature cocktails. If you're a spicy food lover like me, try the asun or pepper soup. The Eko rice is also a must-try staple thats mild. These are my top picks and I look forward to going back soon!

It's the best Nigerian restaurant I have ever seen. The setting up is nothing but Afro mixed with European taste. Great concept .

Delicious! My girlfriend took me here to experience Nigerian food. We got the beef suya, stewed goat meat, and jollof rice, superb! Just the right amount of spice and according to my girlfriend very authentic, the rice tastes just like what she makes at home. Would also recommend the mocktails. We each had one and they were like sparkling juice sodas, very unique and paired with the spice great. Also, very classy dining room and it wasn't too busy. Would definitely go back.

I just left there. I've never been before. Great food! It was plentiful! Great servers and service and great location with it being in the Rockville Town Center. I didn't pay for my food so I can't comment on price but I do know that the tip is included on your check but you can always add more.
