Miya Lounge

Flavorful food Nice portion amount Always delivered on time with care Very reasonable price

I don't know how I hadn't heard of this spot before, it's in the middle of a shopping center and easy to miss so i'm glad I came across it. The food is delicious! Everything is fresh and prepared to order. I had the tacos for the first time a couple months ago and have been back once a month every since. I have even raved so much my friends have become fans. I highly reccommend the suya tacos, they come with jallof rice, cheese and onions. A standard order comes with two which is more than enough since they pack the taco to the max. If you are in the mood for some authentic foods this spot needs to be on your list.

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.

I really enjoyed my food here! The ambiance is very casual. The food took a while to come out, I think something was going on in the kitchen, plus a lot of people were there for the soccer game. I've been here a few times, and I've enjoyed all my experiences. You can request to do group paint and sips as well. Just ask the Manager Calisma. We ordered: The Suya and Jollof 10/10 - plenty of food and the suya was well seasoned. Not too many fatty pieces.The Suya tacos 10/10 - you get two STACKED tacos filled with Suya, jollof, onions, and cheese Side of plantain - cooked perfectly. Sweet and salty and not too soggy or oil saturated They also have catering, can't wait to go back next time

I went here to support the business after seeing food reviewer Mr. Chimetime review! The food was pretty good with the exception of the suya pizza...which was AWSOME! The goat pepper soup was really spicy with just a few pieces of goat meat, it was just ok.The suya beef was overpriced with the small amount we got. The egusi was the star of the show which my granddaughter loved with our fufu(really mine but I had to share with her )!Overall this place was very clean and the owner and the staff was super nice ! Will return soon...for that pizza and of course egusi!!

My girlfriend was really craving some suya. Being a man who loves some suya as well, I couldn't help but agree that stopping for some was a good idea. We were already in the area for a birthday so we stopped by. This is a place she had been plenty of times but I had never had. We ordered the suya tacos, the suya and jollof, and some plantains. The suya tacos were amazing. With the added pepper, it was spicy and an immediate favorite. I'm still thinking about it a week later. The suya and jollof was also delicious. The jollof was exactly what I expect from a restaurant jollof. It's well flavored but not too spicy or overpowering. The plantains were some of my favorite because they weren't super oily. I personally don't like super oily plantains. The service was good. It took a little bit (like 30 mins) to get our food but I think it was worth the wait. One of the guys that works there checked on us to see how we liked the food and if we needed anything additional. The ambiance is that of a family owned African restaurant. There was a bunch of art painted by the owners daughter (who's the manager btw) and it looks amazing! There's bigger booths as well as some regular tables depending on your group size. Highly recommend this place if you want some good African food. It is a bit out of the way if you don't live in the area so try and make a day out of being in Maryland!

Every year, I try and find a new (to me) Black-owned business to support for Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) for Kwanzaa. I've known for a while this was going to be the spot I'd choose for 2023. What shocked me is that I hadn't heard of it until recently... do you know how much I used to hang out in Beltsville? LAX and Costco are literally right across the street too! They started a promotion for a 2-hour All You Can Eat for a lot of their food options (no suya tacos or pizza, definitely on my list for next time), so I knew I would be exploring that. I arrived around 7:00, and they close at 9:00... so just enough time for the AYCE deal!It's on the end of a strip of restaurants and stores, and parking is easy. I walked right in, and there was only one person sitting at the bar (had chairs, but room for more). I could tell that's also where you order food. There were roses hanging from the ceiling, and there were a bunch of tables and long couches to sit at. Huge speakers were posted up against the wall, contributing even more to the lounge vibes. Leaves me wondering when it turns into a party space, because the potential is definitely there. Lovely art lined the walls, and apparently it's for sale. You just need to talk to one of the staff or contact the artist directly. There was also a small rack of clothes next to the bar. After taking all of this in, I decided to just sit where I knew I would be eating. The guy at the bar looked like he was waiting for an order, and I did see a bell to ring, but I didn't want to be that guy. When someone came out from the kitchen to bring the guy's (large) order, I walked up and started looking at the menu. I said I wanted to do the AYCE, and started with the suya, spinach and plantain. I thought it was going to be small portions since it's AYCE... wooo boy was I wrong. Full plate came out for me, and it was all flavorful and delicious! I drank some water and prepared for round 2... more spinach, but I also got jollof rice and peanut soup. Satisfaction all around -- I'd say the entrees run about $20-$25 average, so I think I got my money's worth. If you plan on doing the AYCE, definitely come hungry.I appreciated how friendly my interactions were, and while the food did sometimes take a while... it was fresh, so I can't really complain there. I'll be back to try those tacos and pizza!

If there's a Black/African-owned restaurant you're looking to support, pull up to Miya Lounge & Restaurant. I went once in 2020 and once again recently.Here are some thoughts about what I know about Miya Lounge and my experience:So the name of the restaurant is misleading because I think often times when people hear 'lounge' they think of a place that has alcohol/hookah. This place has neither.If you truly care about good food and not the aesthetics at all, then you will really enjoy this place. It's definitely more of a carryout spot, but there are plenty of tables and seats to sit at if you want to relax. I will say, if you also want your food quickly, call in your order first, because you are not going to receive it quickly (the dishes definitely take time to prepare).When it comes to the food, they definitely have some of the best suya in the area. I wasn't the biggest fan of the suya tacos though. I think the cheese takes away from the flavor of the suya and when it comes to jollof rice, I think it could use more flavor and spice, but I may be biased because I'm Nigerian lol.The suya pizza was a fish suya pizza and it was really good. It was not fishy at all and had good flavor. The goat pepper soup was delicious. The goat was nice and tender. I also really liked the eru and now am wishing I put more on my plate.When I come back, I also really want to try the grilled fish because it looks so good

First of all the music videos playing in this restaurant is ridiculously loud. Also music videos were inappropriate to say the least. The wait for a takeout small order was more like 30 minutes rather than 20 minutes as their website states. Food: The Jolloff rice was not tasty, rice grains were hard and dry. It tasted as though it was not freshly made, seemed to be warmed over and barely, as it was lukewarm. The fried plantains I ordered were tasty and looked as though they were freshly made. I also ordered beef patties, the content inside patties did not look appetizing at all, so I cannot say anything about the taste of it. The person with me who ordered a Cassava leaf dish said their order was 3 on scale of 1-5. Customer Service: The petite guy that took food order was professional.
