Kitchen Near You

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.

Best suya in DC to someone who never had it before in the motherland. I've had every suya in DC at restaurants, kickbacks, home cooks, and even tried to make my own. This is the good stuff. Try it you'll love it-if your mama never made it: my husband being from Cameroon says it's just ok and he prefers the kickback house suya.It's my review though. Have the tilapia grilled, planarians and suya.

Good food overall the Okra is amazing . But the SUYAAAA Oh the suyaaa is amazing !!!!

Nasty service and poor courtesy. I had a horrible experience last Thursday......... waiting for over 40 mins after placing my order by phone regardless of frequently reminding the waitress of my arrival.Will never go back there.

Very disappointed in the service received at this place. I use to come here all the time. And figure I'd give my old spot some love. Well the sure didn't want me and my 5 friends there or our busines. How can you support the businesses of your people when they look at you like wtf you doing in here! Never again

Ordered only 2 dishes, they sent 1. And refuse to take phone calls to correct the situation.

Music was great. Live band was good. I enjoyed the DJ, he definitely kept the crowd dancing.

I'm giving it 1.25 stars. My family is giving it a 0 and I'm giving it a 2.5. If it wasn't for the soya and Ekwang, I would also give it a 0. This place honestly sucks. I went there for Thanksgiving this week and the first thing I noticed was the smell. So those reviews were right. Also, the unknown brown splotches on the ground were, ugh. The service was fine though. But the food, ugh! at least the appetizers were good. But the eru and the ache were unedible. My grandma and sister couldn't even finish it because it was terrible. The "fufu" is still in the fridge. I'm just glad I ordered the Ekwang. Some minor things I have to complain about are the choice of music and the bathroom door being too dark. So it was hard for everyone but me to figure out that they were going into the wrong bathroom. In conclusion, I don't recommend this "cuisine" because it sucks. The sad thing is, just like one of the reviews said, it has so much potential. Especially since my mom said that it WAS clean and good. (Also, this Thanksgiving was the most "africanish" Thanksgiving out of all of the ones I have celebrated. Sad if you think about it)

As a Cameroonian I loved everything but the eru. But the fish was AMAZING and the broke was good as well. Haven't had everything else. The service is slow they need to work on that but nice people.

the will overcharge you if they think you never been there before, they charge me 5 bucks for a can of coke. the bar is very smelly, the tables aren't clean, it smells like fish market. don't recommend going there unless you are ready to pay fortune!
