Ivo Restaurant

The closest thing to authentic ivorian dishes without having to deal with visa application, flying across the Atlantic Ocean and suffering occasional bad food in airline cabin food.Ivo Restaurant has relocated to this new address with an upgrade to their service. The food is, without question, consistently good, the menu is comprised of sauce graine with oxtail( palmnut stew), sauce arrachide with oxtail (peanut sauce) and the famous ivorian Kedjenou (chicken and vegetables cooked under pressure for optimum flavor). The grilled tilapia and fried plantains is a flagship but there is so much more to discover on the menu..You can either dine in in a comfortable environment or do a take out of anything on the menu. My only recommendation for carry out would be that you find a better sealed container for the stews and sauces.Carry on with all the upgrades. 4.6 out of 5

For this week's effort to support local businesses, our food delivery app recommended a brand new West African restaurant called Ivo that is located in the Hyattsvile Regal Theater complex across from the Mall of Prince George's (aka PG Plaza)The cuisine is from Ivory Coast, specifically.I ordered braised fish. I got the entire fish from head to tail. It was massive! The fish was very succulent and tasty. Not dried at all and well seasoned but NOT overseasoned! It also was not salty or greasy and oily! A PLUS for someone watching their cholesterol.It was very KETO friendly because it was served with an onion and diced cabbage slaw and a tomato based pepper sauce on the side.The fish is really bony however but the bones were very thick so you could avoid choking on them if you're not used to eating bony fish.The portion is so large it could feed 2 people! By yourself, you could arguably divide up eating this fish into 4 meals: You could eat this for lunch, dinner and then lunch again and a snack!For $18.99 you also get to pick a free side! I got the plaintains and we got plenty in the small carton that came in the bag.This is a steal of a price compared to what other area Afrian restauants charge for a full entree.It arrived super fast (like under 20 minutes) and was piping hot and fresh!I will definitely order there again especially bc they are so close to where I live. By the time I ordered in the evening, most of their most popular dishes were sold out so that tells me this place is a hidden gem that has already been discovered by locals who are keeping it quiet and to themselves.And for that reason, I will skip blabbing about them in my Next Door app but will help them out by giving them good reviews in Uber Eats, Postmates, Door Dash, Google Biz and Yelp and Facebook.

Whenever someone tell me about an African restaurant I'm always on board! My friend told me about this place so I decided to give it a try. First and foremost in order to find this place you either have to run into it or someone tell you!! It's literally in a crab broil restaurant, Weird I know. So I came here on a weekday around 2pm and ordered Tilapia fish, attieke, and plantain. Someone ordered the same order and I guess they was taking long so I was given that order. I drove 20 minutes home and the food was cold not surprised however the fish was well seasoned. The pepper sauce wasn't as spicy as I would like but then again I didn't specify. The plantain was cooked well but it's not ripe to the extent that I would prefer it to be. Overall the food was satisfactory. The only thing I would change is the price!For my order I paid $27, which is kinda ridiculous considering the other places that sale the same thing for less. Another thing I would change is the amount of pepper sauce that is given. But I would def come here again to explore the menu some more!

The grilled tilapia was amazing. The only downside is I didn't like the onions and tomatoes they put on top of the fish & the jollof was a bit bland.

Business is not at listed address. The place is a comedy club. Drove 45 miles for nothing

I had the grilled Tilapia and it was 10/10!!! The fish was so well seasoned not too spicy but it came with pepper sauce on the side. Their onion vinaigrette sauce on top of the fish is amazing it's not too strong it makes is perfectly with the attieke. Highly recommend!!! It's not the best picture but the fish was huge! Money well spent

wrong address listed , and phone number does not work... drove 30 minutes out to find a vacant restaurant.

I've tried this place twice. It has the worst jollof rice I've ever tasted. I will not return.
