Queensway Restaurant & Catering

it is a good place to go and get African and Caribbean food. And they have helpful workers who will assist you in what you are looking to buy.

Food is always great, try the meat pie please and tell me it's not perfect, I will definitely return! Service was superb as well

I'm am disappointed with the service and food quality it was horrible I order 2 African platters and beans and egusi soup over my rice and chicken, no flavor on the egusi and my chicken was hard and old like it was cooked last week and the jollof rice was not soft and flavorful also I order porridge and stock fish ,the porridge was over cooked and hard and the stock fish was hard with bones it was over cooked too I'm very disappointed i called and spoke to someone name Steve and he said he was going to call the owner and tell him about my situation etc. I spent over $65.00 if they can't get this situation corrected I want a full refund.

Order anything besides jollof rice, egusi soup, meat pie, beans and stew at your own risk.The above items seem to be on standby or always ready.Dare order stock fish, curry chicken, tilapia, even shrimp fried rice or some other item that is actually on the menu and you're on your own.The wait times can be over an hour. Believe me, I've experienced it. With the people (cooks?) in the kitchen also working as cashiers. It is ridiculous. Don't go there when you're hungry. Take my word. Do not.Thankfully there is another location in Bowie, smaller, but so far, seems better than Riverdale.

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.

If I could give no star I would and this is coming from a loyal customer of this business for several years. My gripe was I went in today to pick up food, as most have noted there's usually a long wait (I'm Nigerian accustomed to that so I don't go when they tell me to..). Upon entering the restaurant there were 3 young men at the front desk, two had on face masks and appeared to be taking some COVID-19 precautions. However, one who had on a little black face mask which he kept on his chin and left it there for a few minutes after I entered. He later moved it to cover his mouth leaving his nose open. I kept addressing his peers and tried to keep my distance since they were all behind the same counter (making it almost impossible). A few minutes later the young man with the improperly worn mask, took it off placed it on his chin walked over to the register to ring up my order and then turned to speak with me (WITH HIS MASK COMPLETELY OFF). At this point, I told him that it was completely unacceptable that in the few minutes I'd stood there he clearly wasn't taking any of the COVID precautions seriously and thought it was ok to serve a customer with his face completely exposed! The crazy thing is after this confrontation instead of some sort of remorse, apology or acknowledgement that he was in a food establishment risking people's lives (these are the people who pack and handle your food btw), he just smirked and told one of the other guys to serve me while he walked away from the desk. I rarely write reviews and like I said have made several substantial orders from this establishment in the past but clearly they are not taking the pandemic or MD laws seriously by training and enforcing the necessary precautions required to run a food establishment. If he was bold enough to behave this way in front of a customer at the restaurant, imagine what they do with your food when no one is there? I hope that management reads this and takes serious steps towards addressing this as they've clearly lost at least one customer today and can inevitable lose more from such blatant negligence. Lastly, the other issue was how bad the food was which wasn't typical. I ordered basic stew with fish and meat and tastes like some just boiled up some canned tomatoes and fried the meat and fish with no seasonings. The food was bland and poorly made coupled with the lack of good hygiene or cleaning practices I would strongly suggest staying away from here till they literally and figuratively clean up their act.

Delicious! The shop owner, an older lady, was polite and friendly. I got the rice jollof and chicken. Both fantastic but the chicken was exceptional. In and out with my takeaway order within 5 minutes.

If egusi soup with fish is your thing, you have hit the sweet spot when you eat food from this restaurant. I have had the same dish on two different occasions from this restaurant in the last two months. The food was just as good each time. Consistent authentic cooking, well seasoned and inspiring. The first time I had the egusi soup with pounded yam. This time, perhaps because it was close to closing time when my food was picked up, I only got egusi soup with fish; They were out of pounded yam. I relished every bit of the food. A single order of egusi soup with two fair sized pieces of fish cost me a total of $10.34. Sure, they could have used a little less oil but this meal was worth every single calorie. If service were as consistent as the egusi soup, this restaurant would deserve more than a five star rating for food and service.

I had there suya at an event which they caterer and it was great, so I stop by to picked up some. What I received was horrible - old, dried out, tasteless and tougher than old beef jerky. Plus to add to the bad experience - 4 pieces of suya jerky for $10. Actually the onions were the highlight of the plate.Next - Moi Moi - good size, but no saltLastly - $20 for some tasteless egusi stew with an upcharge for barely no meat.Just terrible!!!!

Just ...... don't eat here I just wanted some good food and didn't have time to do research so I picked this one and well . I placed an order via DoorDash, I even called to let them know I was in my way with my food when I arrived I had to wait like 30 additional mins. I would suggest that the should get curtains to cover their kitchen because all she is literally doing is reheating the food in the microwave ............. plantains take like 5 mins to fry sis. Nothing tasted fresh at all.... it was as if the cooked five days ago and don't want the food to go to waste. They also gave me the wrong order. The egusi had no real flavor. The fish smelled like it was going bad. Overall not coming back place is gross she did not cook with love
