The Tastiest African in Baltimore

Swahili Village

★★★★☆ 4.2 (512) • $$$

"Walked in on a Saturday night. This location is a little more lax and not as busy as the DC location. I've been here a few times and normally the food is great. This time they burned the rice and the flavor of the jollof was off. We ordered the goat stew with jollof, plantain, and cabbage as the sides. The goat stew was flavorful a delicious and there was a good amount of meat in the stew so I was very pleased. I will say although the jollof did come out burned the waitress was very kind and accommodating. She brought us a new bowl of jollof and said if it still didn't taste up to par she would bring out a different side. The new bowl was mildly better so we stuck with it to not give her difficult time. The Samosas are a MUST TRY. They also have two delicious sauces that come with the samosa a really yummy pepper sauce and sweet sauce. The parking lot can make it difficult to get a spot. Goat stew 4/5Plantain 4/5Cabbage 3.5/5Jollof 2.5/5 Chai Tea 5/5 Samosa 5/5Overall, I will still continue coming to this establishment. Swahili was the original restaurant that showed Traditional African food meeting class. They food a way to standardize the quality of the food so that a majority of the time no matter which chain you go to the food quality is the same. They also bring the vibes with great drinks and music! The other African restaurants are only now catching up."

Mansa Kunda Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (191) • $$

"Well done!Gambian eatery in the Takoma Park & Silver Spring area. (Down the street from WAU) Went on the weekend, evening hours, not too busy. Spacious seating, good for groups / individuals / couples. Parking is available in front of the restaurant (street parking) or the side of the building. Beautiful decor inside. We were seated promptly, our order taken shortly after. The food arrived piping hot. Filling portions and I took my leftovers to-go. Not too pricey, in comparison to similar area restaurants.Check it out."

Roger Miller Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (206) • $$

"Warning: this place is not for everyone. Don't go here on a date, don't go with kids, don't go if you are on a rush and don't go if you feel entitled. This is a very humble establishment that runs on African time but serves really authentic cuisine. Go here solely for the food. Better if you can do a take out order. I had grilled lamb with spinach, jollof rice and sweet plantains. Just amazing. I also did a take out order of Ndolle (goat with some bitter leaf gravy). Loved it. There are too many issues with the restaurant. Outdated ambience, super super slow service, difficulty communicating with the staff which resulted in some extra side dishes I ended up paying for, their website doesn't work, the prices they charged were a bit more than what was on the menu (basically outdated menus) and the list simply goes on.Inspite of all these issues, I would still go there because none of those issues seemed intentional. I didn't see foul play. The manager/owner Patrick and the server/cashier Agbenfa both seemed naive and humble. They tried to make sure I enjoyed the food. I also feel I may have gotten lucky because the food that was served to me was hot. (Not cold or room temp like some of the others mentioned) I went on a Friday night. I would have to try a few more times before judging if the food is consistent. But the two entrees and the three sides I tried were all phenomenal. It also helps if you know what you are getting but I like to try new things especially when I am going to authentic places and I don't mind taking small risks. Oh the portions were huge. When it took 30 mins for the lady to come take my order, I was all set to leave the place and was prepared for a 1star experience as I started reading the reviews. But I'm glad my patience served me well. I wasn't in a rush. It was a lazy Friday evening. Lazy enough to stick around long enough to try their food."

Rohobot Ethiopian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (136) • $

"I've ordered delivery (through doordash) twice from here now and both times the food was great. The items are always packed well. The food is so flavorful and yummy. They give plenty of injera bread too. I've gotten the yawaze tibs, which are delicious. I've also gotten the side of lentil sambusa which is also super flavorful and yummy. My boyfriend has gotten dullet and loved it. He liked it so much that the first time he ordered it he told me to make sure we remember this place so he can keep getting it. You also get a lot of food. I don't know how in person service is, but for delivery my experience has consistently been good. You also get a free can drink with meals, which isn't even stated on doordash, so that was a pleasant surprise."

Jodeem African Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (122) • $$

"Passed by this place sooo many times walking through the mall, but I never stopped in... until now! There are a few tables and a big menu outside the restaurant itself, so I took a minute to look at that. I decided to get the porridge yam (Asaro) with chicken and greens. It took about 20 minutes, so I decided to run to the gym and get a quick workout in while waiting. It took another minute or so when I got back, but the staff were very friendly and apologetic for the wait! They showed me the food before putting it in the bag. I got very excited!I got home, started a movie and dug in. The chicken and greens were good, but the Asaro was DEFINITELY the star of the show. So very flavorful and satisfying! My only wish is that there was more of the porridge itself! I could have an entire bowl of that alone!I will definitely be back to Jodeem to try more menu items."

Sweet Sweet Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (83)

"The food here is amazing. Sweet Sweet Kitchen is a small African/Caribbean restaurant that offers authentic Caribbean & West African food. You will be hooked on your visit. I literally came on a Friday came back on Saturday. My favorite dishes include the Cassava Leaf, this was actually my first time trying this dish. I love the curry chicken and the oxtail is fall off the bone good. I want to try the curry goat and the snapper next but I keep getting the curry chicken. Parking is limited. There are a few tables to enjoy your meal at this location. Prices are big higher then most Caribbean spots, but totally worth it. All the food is halal/kosher."

Miya Lounge

★★★★☆ 4 (67) • $$

"This is a review after my second time having food from this establishment. The first time, I was like this is soooo good. It was a soft taco. It's their own version of a taco with rice, chicken or beef, cheese and vegetables. I love veggies, so I was disappointed the second time I ordered when more rice and less vegetables greeted my tongue. I knew something was missing. Took a look and saw few green or yellow (onions). Now, the pizza was just as DELICIOUS as the first time I had it. The sautéed greens were a bit pricey but very tasty. Yes, I highly recommend and will go again."

Suya Spot Nigerian Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (114)

"I had a taste for authentic Nigerian food and heard lots of good things about this restaurant. When entered there were three tablets where you can place your carry out order. I was very impressed with the system because the menu showed pictures and also let you know the most popular menu items. Once ordered my food was ready within 15 mins. I ordered the jollof rice, egusi, and pounded yam. All very delicious. The restaurant was very clean and had traditional music playing in the background which I loved. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a traditional Nigerian meal."

Rainbow Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (76) • $$

"This was our first visit to this restaurant; however, they have been around for 20 years. We didn't know what to order, so the gentleman was very helpful. In our usual first-time visit style, we over ordered to get a good variety. We ordered several starters: Bofrot (donut) - too heavy for me.Beef patty - definitely one of the best beef patties. Plenty of beef.Chicken patty - very tastyBeef Suya khebab - a definite yes! I can't describe the spices, but it's good.Fufu Chicken Stew - I liked the Chicken Stew but not so much the fufu. It's the texture thing. Lol.Jerk Chicken with Jollof rice - a definite yes.Waakye (rice and beans)- deliciousPlantain - solidOverall, a great experience. Friendly staff. Great food."

KSB African & Caribbean

★★★★☆ 4.3 (50)

"I love that I discovered a Ghanaian restaurant in the Baltimore county area! Although, KSB is not your ordinary Ghanaian restaurant because they also sell Caribbean food. We decided to order both Ghanaian and Caribbean food, and I got to say, both cuisines were top notch! The Caribbean entree we ordered was the jerk salmon with curried cabbage, fried plantains, rice and peas, and Mac n cheese. Yes, all one order and simply amazing! It was such a good portion! The Ghanaian dishes we ordered were the banku with okra and rice with spinach stew. I'm not a banku and okra fan, so I didn't try it, but the spinach stew tasted so good. I was told the banku and okra was really well made, so I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

Jolloff Etcetera

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (90) • $$

"Really bad I'm a big fan of jollof rice as well as goat meat. This place is a little bit confusing because they have a takeout area which seems to be very popular and I can understand why to some extent as well as a sit down venue which is near the barbershop. I chose to do the sit down place after standing around in the takeout place. In the sit-down place I got the jollof rice with plantains and goat meat. Let me start out by saying that I've had excellent jollof rice and this definitely was not it I'm not sure what the flavor profile they put into it but it definitely had a odd chemical butane kind of odor I didn't dig it. The rice was cooked well but the flavor was just awful. It was not spicy at all It's definitely not even close to the jollof rice I've had at some of the Nigerian parties I've attended. The goat meat was god-awful. I really like good goat meat but they gave very very small pieces of go full of fat and bones, the Yelp reviews were spot on with this. On top of the the meat itself was cooked horribly more like a combination of fibrous chewing gum. I have never had goat meat this bad in my life. And it hurts to waste food but I ate as much of it as I could. The one redeeming quality was that there was a pretty good piece of bone marrow that I got out of it. The plantings were the best part of it and one piece was not thoroughly cooked. Lot of the other reviewers have commented on the service. Yes definitely there is a lot of problems and issues here. For one they don't honor the Yelp check-in. Not just that but the attitude was extremely terrible. The woman who sat me down literally through the menu on the table. Nobody brought water They attempted to put utensils directly onto the table and there is no place setting. Any kind of decorum that you expect at a typical restaurant it ain't happening here. I'm not sure who this will cater to but I don't even think the immigrant class will tolerate this which is probably why they flock to the takeout area. That being said the one girl who I encountered at the takeout area was extremely nice and showed me where the sit down area was. Parking is free and in a parking lot. The price is really bad for the value of the food. ambience in the restaurant is really irritating. Maybe if you like this kind of music it is loud and boisterous and from some of the other diners who I observed nobody was listening to it but we're trying to talk all over it. And at sometimes the stereo blasted it even louder. Overall I'm glad I tried it but if I want my African fix I know other places that deliver much better quality."

The Hunger Tamer

★★★★☆ 4 (51)

"Pre-Pandemic Experience: The first time I stumbled upon this restaurant it was pre pandemic. I saw the owners were from Ghana like myself so I decided to check them out. I ordered the jollof rice with stew, chicken, plantain, puff puff and the ginger drink. I was thoroughly impressed. Ghana Jollof Rice is the best, I just thought I'd add that plug in for those who don't know. I had to put some of my friends on to The Hunger Tamer. So when I'm feeling too lazy to cook my own jollof rice, this is a nice substitute. During Pandemic: I went the other day and the rice was ok. I didn't get the same vibes I had pre pandemic but after putting it in the microwave, it was better. I would still recommend them."

Taste Budds

★★★★☆ 3.6 (44) • $$

"I wish I could've recorded the interaction between me & whom I assumed was the owner when I walked into this establishment. He was sitting in a chair, very relaxed so when I walked in I was waiting him to greet me, ask me what I wanted to order...but I got a WHAT! OK, so I said I would like to order a jerk chicken sandwich & champagne cola. My total was $9.54. I gave him a $20 (mind you this was just like within seconds) he turned to me & says what did you give me...a $20...my food was ready in seconds, OK you gain points for that, but you lose points for my sandwich being slightly hot (temperature) especially when I was dining in. Overall the sandwich was OK. My bestii came & got a small cassava leaf stew with rice and she let me taste it...it was actually pretty tasty but I've never had it anywhere else so I don't have a frame of reference.Don't take my word...try it for yourself"

KingsWay Cafe of Laurel

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (79) • $$

"It's a 4 for me because price is convenient and had most of the known west African foods as well as being a clean establishment even had a sink outside the bathrooms for you to use. I ordered okra with goat and pounded yam. I could eat pounded yam all day!!!! The stew with the goat was a little sweet or something tangy threw me off a little bit it was good. Honestly I have has better okra, would not get that again but can't wait to try the egusi soup and suya there."

Rahama African Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (51)

"There's something nostalgic for me about being at Rahama that takes me back to Ghana.Perhaps it's the service that feels like a welcome home from that one aunt or uncle that you just know us going to have something to say or maybe it's the smell of ginger and spices that greet you the moment you approach the door.What is undeniable is this: you wont find Ghanaian food at this quality and taste anywhere else in the DMV. Theres so much range in the food offerings that it would be a disservice to come here and just order jollof. Try something served with soup, try the juices, go for the waakye and i promise you wont be disappointed."

Phil's Sports Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (28) • $$

"I was here on a Friday afternoon for drinks. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It had a local feel to it where everyone seemed to know each other. Their beer selection was small but they had great mix drink specials. There are two pool tables there but get a group of friends on one for a fun night. Disclaimer: it could get a little rowdy but it's fun!#YelpMDburbs"

"The best suya, the best hookah and the best bottle girls! Like seriously I use to come here as a customer now I work here and I love it. The owners Nj and Val are great and their main goal is to make sure everyone gets the best experience of the nightlife in the DMV. Everything is newly renovated so it gives off luxurious with Afro beats playing all night it's giving nollywood. Definitely come and visit us we gets lit for sure!"

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (34) • $$

"Food was nicely presented. I only got side dishes to add to what I was preparing at home.Mr. Sunday was in the shop alone and went the back to prepare my order. It was ready in less than 10 minutes. The TV was on low so the ambience was quiet and pleasant while I waited."

Kuramo Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (38) • $$

"NOW I UNDERSTAND y the chick below was singing AT LAAAAAAAAST!!!I was getting under the weather n needed spicy food and I always go african to find that... had been elsewhere days prior and food was totally bland but these folks had that standard nigerian party rice taste oh my geez i was floating and gloating. wanted to buy a carry out but cuz its so heavy and I struggled w/my seat buckle on my last flight................ yeah. SO. i had the jollof n plantain n beef and asked for extra side stew cause I can never eat rice dry regardless how tender it is. The plantain were PERFECTION... the meat uber pliable and I can taste it all coming back now. came back later for egusi n eba which is another plate I get when im getting ill for the greens n the fiber and the PEPPER. Think theyre probably one of the best authentic fares in the whole area cause I searched hi/low. Thank God I found em!As far as the wait time it really was average but when you come to these unique kind of places best bet is call ahead or ask upfront whats READY or what food they made for the day cause they never make everrrrything on the menu"

Kitchen Near You

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (60) • $$

"I have been to Kitchen Near You many times n a decade and it never disappoints! I love the music and ambience of the restaurant. I come here to eat their Soya and Jellof rice only. And I always dine in. I will one day try their fish. The food is freshly cooked. I love the soya meat. Great flavor never dry to me. It comes with raw white onion which is awesome. I love the powder spice that it comes with. I always ask for extra powder because it's so Spicy. The jellof rice is good in flavor and taste."

Peju Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (40) • $$

"I decided to try this place just to try something new. I've been here before to partay but never to eat. It's pretty nice inside, but there was no one there! It kinda sucks because it's a pretty chill place. So I ordered the jerk chicken and a side of jollof rice. The chicken had a good spice, the rice and plantain were good as well. Definitely going back."

"Spacious venueDecent bartendersVarious events hosted throughout the weekDrink and menu item specials dailyOutdoor tent for hookah and cigar smoking Numerous tvs to watch the gamesAttended a Bella Dona show here on a Saturday night. Bought my ticket on Eventbrite however you could pay at the door for slight higher price. Security tossed my purse like a jail cell being raided. You couldn't go back out after entering even though you've paid and have a wristband which made no sense whatsoever. Food is decent for bar food although they say restaurant it's not restaurant quality in my opinion. I'll attend other events at this location"

De-Ranch Restaurant

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (58) • $$$

"The Cassava Leaf Soup was . The Chef poured a generous amount on top of my chicken and Jollof Rice. They definitely give you a good portion for your money.De Ranch has 3 different areas. One is the dining room. The dining room gives you an antic afri-cuisine feel when you enter. The lounge gives you reggae vibes. The main area is where you order your food. The main area is also a bar with a heavy selection of alcoholic beverages.If you want African, Caribbean or American food. De Ranch can service you!"

Tempoo Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (15)

"This place is so much different than any other restaurant I have been in. We tried this place out because of the five stars reviews on Google and Yelp. When we walked in, they sat us at a table, then the owner, TJ, came to us and asked, "what do you want here?". It was a really weird question to ask customers. We were like "food!". Then he was, "do you know what you want?". We were not sure what we wanted because it was our first time there, and he did not even give us a menu yet but asked us what we wanted. It was a bit weird. We told him that it was our first time here and we wanted to try to food out. He finally gave us the menu. The menu was a one-page paper. He asked us if we wanted to try the food out, he will provide us with something different from the menu. We asked for chicken, fish, and meat as our main dishes. With the drink, they gave us a punch that tastes good and very gingerly. He also asked us if we wanted anything while waiting for the main dishes. He told us to try their kabob. The kabob tastes like beef jerky with a spicy powder and onion pickles on top. We are all like the kabob.I personally like the fish the best among the main dishes. The fish dish has plantains, I like the plantains, but my friends do not like the plantains. The chicken was okay, and the meat was assorted, so it tastes a bit weird to me, but one of my friends likes the meat. The price was pricy there. It was more expensive than we expected. And because what he gave us was not on the menu, we have no idea if the price was right. He told us he gave us a bit of everything to try out. Customer service was a bit weird when they asked you want do you want here but did not give you any menu. Lol. This place is fun to try once, but I don't think we will come back again."

Flora's Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (26) • $$

"It is extremely hard to find good African food. There are definitely more places opening, but Flora's is top notch! Her food is consistently good. She has become a household name in my family. If we want really good food and don't want to cook, we head here. Everything we have had has been just like eating at your auntie's house. The Eru - very good, the Ndole - very good, the Egusi - very good, the meat pies - very good, one is big enough for too. Not only is the food really good but the customer service is also very pleasant. Please understand, I'm not just saying the food is good, we've had food from here twice in the last week. I will continue to support and send others there. Try them for yourself and let me know what you think."

Black Diamond Restaurant and Lounge

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (47)

"Black Diamond....First let me start with....Stop, I repeat STOP requesting $20 deposits....immediately! For what!? Because we paid the $20 deposit last Sunday 7/14 and arrived on time for our 12:00PM reservation just to be seated in silence while waiting 15 minutes just for drink order and did not receive our food until 1:05PM. Sooo y'all pressing for $20 just to have your customers wait a hour for service not making sense to me. This establishment needs a bit of work because holding customers accountable to show up for their reservation when your staff need to be held accountable to make it to work on time to prepare the food for your paying customers. Their chef did not walk in UNTIL 12:45PM. Secondly, it's literally a shame this establishment is ran so poorly because food is, BOMB....minus them waffles. We did not walk out because we were personally aiming to ONLY support small Black Businesses that weekend but how can people support if you lacking on staff, service and manager even being present to run spot....But shout out to Renee for having to serve the only three tables of people solo, and shout out to the people at those other two tables also for having to sit around even longer than our hour wait for their food. Sooo, it's a pass for me right now for visiting again....that $55 Diamond Platter does not out weight the lack of customer service for me."

Cape Coast Cuisine

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (49) • $$

"Ah, COVID-19, limiting my ability to try new places... but, hey, there's delivery. I placed an order with Cape Coast via DoorDash. The delivery time was supposed to be about 45-minutes.After about an hour and twenty minutes, I received a notification that the order had been cancelled because "Cape Coast was unable to fulfill the order." Fairly, I'm not sure if this is a failure of Cape Coast or of DoorDash, but it seems more Cape Coast based on the type of cancellation. If there is a problem with the order, they need to cancel it with the carrier promptly, not after I've waited (to the point where any other order will be well past dinner time). And if they can't fulfill orders reliably, they should not be affiliating with major carriers."

Queensway Restaurant & Catering

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (41) • $$

"I'm a little disappointed this visit. This is my favorite spot for West African food. The food lacked flavor but was overwhelmed with spice. It was so spicy that it was almost not palatable. Usually there is spice, but is muted.. Kind of like a kick. This was so overwhelming that it was more like a knock out. Also, the meat was not flavorful and was tough. I'm not sure if it's under new ownership or the cooks are different, but this is not what I'm used to and I've been coming here for years. Please go light with the red pepper flakes and taste the food before you serve it. Everything did look good, sadly it did not taste as good as it looked.I also saw the lady put a pot on the very dirty kitchen floor to clean it. This place has definitely gone downhill; no longer my favorite."

Safari DC

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (25) • $$

"Five stars for food, minus one star for service/ambiance/etc. = a solid four star experience!Honestly? If you're looking for the best Ethiopian food in the DMV, look no further than Safari DC!!!I recently went with my family to eat lunch at this establishment. We got there around 2 pm on a Sunday. What was weird was the door was locked when we tried to enter. The waitress indoors saw us and quickly opened the door for us to enter.The restaurant occupies a beautiful space with a great patio. I loved it! When we were there though, there were no other patrons, which I thought was odd for a Sunday afternoon. We decided to still stay, though, and ordered the veggie plate and two different kind of tibs (beef and lamb). When the food came out, it was DELICIOUS! I'd had Safari's food before because I went to an event where they had catered, but this time the food was better (if that's even possible). Dare I say it?!?! Safari DC has the best Ethiopian food in the DMV area! (YES I HAD TO SAY IT AGAIN! IT'S THAT GOOD!) Seriously.If you can deal with the touch and go service and a bit of a wait time, the FOOD is definitely something worth experiencing. I would recommend it to anyone."

JB Atlantic Restaurant and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (23)

"First visit to JB's Atlantic Seafood ad Grill. Warm welcome by bartender Pam. Of course I jumped right into Happy Hour...It was one of those days. 2 for 1 Long Island Ice Teas. Can't pass up a 2 for 1 special. Happy hour food menu a little lite when i comes to options. The same can be said or the regular menu. Given this is a new restaurant, I hope to see more options, especially African dishes. The restaurant is remodeled, formerly Sullivans. Fresh paint and color makes a huge difference. The bar is fully stocked and the restaurant is very spacious. Great for large parties and events.Lets talk about the food. I ordered the catfish. The fish is light fried, but fresh with a crisp coating. The Mac-n-cheese is very cheesy. It may be the cheesiest I have ever seen and tasted. Collard greens were lightly seasoned with hamhock pieces. Will definitely have to come back. I am most interested in seeing hownthis restaurant evolves.Welcome to the neighborhood and Bon Apetite."

Prime Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (26)

"Great size fish, beautifully grilled and packed with flavor. That fish was worth the money.I had to start off with that because man, that fish was delicious.Now let's start the review:There is no street parking for this restaurant so I had to park a block away and then walk(bummer). Thats the only bad thing I can say about this restaurant though. Upon entry, I was soaked in a vibrant ambience. I looked around amazed at the decor like a kid in a toy store.I finally got to counter and ordered "Grilled Tilapia(No Plantains), & Cassava Leaf w/Goat Meat". I received my order within 10mins. That is quick food service if you ask me. I took it home and then got down to business. Once again, I ate that fish and wish it was never ending. I never had cassava leaf before so it was an exciting new experience. It was very oily but that was expected from me doing prior research. Once I drained a lot of the oil out, the flavors I tasted were undeniably good. That is something worth trying again if it wasn't for the oil.All in all 10/10 , would recommend !Follow my IG @Blackdollar007"

Jolloff Etcetera

★★★★☆ 3.8 (15)

"Brand new and just opened in the White Oak shopping center. We wanted to try authentic Nigerian cuisine. The prices were reasonable, the atmosphere was peaceful, the service was outstanding, very warm and efficient. This is the first time we tried real Nigerian food, so it is hard for me to describe. I noticed the spices used were quite different than anything I've tasted. Some can be very spicy, some had a mildly bitter flavor. They seemed to be unique.We ordered:Egusi - ground melon seed prepared with spinach and other African spices: I chose goat and pounded yam. It was an interesting experience because I didn't know how to eat it ; the waiter showed me a YouTube video on how to eat like a Nigerian. I pulled a chunk of yam and kneaded in my hand, dipped it into the sauce, and ate the yam with the sauce. 3*Peppered snail: i wanted to try authentic Nigerian food, so this was recommended to me. Two huge snails with chili sauce. The texture was tougher than small snails. They were very spicy. Although I'm accustomed to spicy food, not Nigeria spices. Order with caution.4*Scotch egg: the egg was coated, fried, warm and crispy outside. We liked it. 3*Pepper soup: very spicy; if you are not used to Nigerian cuisine, order with caution. The leftover tasted better the next day, just like Chinese food. 3*Meat pie: fresh and pretty good. We would order it again."
