Shoutout to WHUR for the 96 meals in 96 minutes today. This happens every other Friday. I love this. This place is located around the corner from my job so I was press and determined to get my food. The customer service that the owner and his people displayed was spectacular. I love when things are very organized! They didn't have us waiting long they had a specific item which was great. This food was delicious and I eat AFRICAN food all the time so I know good food. The jollof rice OMG! The chicken from the grill and the taste! All I'm going to say is get there and support them! I can't wait to try some other items (the snapper) ! I believe they have an inside seating area but I did like the outdoor seating area. It's also clean on the inside and outside. AND THEY'RE OPEN FOR LUNCH, DINNER, LATE NIGHT SNACK TOO WHEN YOU'RE COMING FROM DRINKING

My experience with Spicy Water was phenomenal. I got the grilled Red Snapper plate, with fried plantains, french fries, and yucca. The Snapper marinade was mild, but very flavorful, and they provide a sauce on the side for extra spice. I recommend pre-ordering to avoid the lines and also secure a plate before they run out (Instagram: @spicywaterafricangrill). Also, the grilled Red Snapper plate is $40, but it can easily feed two people.

I came across Spicy Water African Grill at Eastern Market one Saturday and knew I had to try it. You can smell the stand around the market and the chicken just looked so good. They were cooking fish as well, but I went for the chicken and fries. It was delicious. Very well seasoned and I enjoyed the thicker, steak-cut fries. I'm obsessed with the sauce though. It's spicy and flavorful and when I return, I'll likely buy extra sauce. I'm hoping they add more sides to the menu. The chicken and fries travel well and are excellent reheated. Definitely a new favorite spot.

I stumbled across this stand in Eastern Market outside the aquatic center on a weekend afternoon and the smell of spiced, grilled chicken immediately pulled me into the already lengthy line.It's a two-person operation so get ready to wait (I think we waited for about 45 minutes) but wow. It is so worth it! That day, they were also selling huge grilled red snappers that looked delicious but I opted for the quarter chicken instead, which was plenty for a meal to myself. The chicken already comes with steak fries and two sauces: pepper and chipotle. The pepper sauce is INCREDIBLE. Like...I couldn't eat just that with a spoon. Extra cups are $1 and I should have gotten more because I was dipping everything in it: the plantains, the thick cut fries, and the chicken.The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, I wish I had room for more. They chop it into bite sized pieces with the bone in and the skin is so crispy and crusted with all the spices. It almost seemed more than a quarter chicken because I kept finding more pieces under all the fries and plantains! If you're ever in eastern market during lunch time and you see their orange tent, I'd highly, highly recommend stopping by for a really fulfilling meal!

Saw a couple of guys working up a storm at this food stand by the Eastern Market and was glad I tried out their steak sandwich! The sandwich was huge and definitely meant to be shared. The steak was flavorful and tender (just a couple of chewy parts), bread roll was crispy and soft, sauce was delicious with just a bit of a spicy kick, and there was a generous amount of avocado throughout.I wish I had more room in my stomach to try more things! The grilled chicken and red snapper smelled and looked great too.

Got the half chicken and fries at the Riverdale farmer's market today. WOW. So delicious, flavorful and expertly bbq'd. Got me thinking about moving to the Ivory Coast. Sauces were great too. STAMP!

The food is good but the wait time is extremely long. I called in my order thirty minutes before coming into the restaurant and I still had to wait an additional twenty minutes when I got there.

I just went to this spot today for the first time and it was the most delicious sandwich I have ever had. I went with a friend and we split the beef and chicken kebab sandwich and both of us are already looking forward to our next visit. The sauce is a perfect complement, the meat is so tender, and the lettuce/tomatoes they added in to the sandwich are also very well seasoned. Great experience and there are so many other options to try there!

Ive supported spicy water just about every tuesday down at eastern market the food is very delicious. Unfortunately, Today i was a little early my cousin & I waited about 20 mins and was not served i watched the guy who handles everything touch EVERYTHING with his gloves and LICKED his gloves he even ran across the street to make a store run with his gloves on came back and touched the food!! So i asked him nicely if he could/would change his gloves he got very loud and nasty with me told me not to tell him how to do his job and told me to get away! i will be reporting this place and never supporting again
