If you haven't visited Spice Kitchen yet, you're missing out on a BOMB dining experience. It's easily the best restaurant in the area! Every dish on the menu is amazing, and the warm, family-oriented atmosphere adds to the charm. The Spice Wings, in particular, are a must-try--they're cooked to perfection. Make sure to stop by for some of the best food around!

I was very impressed by Spice Kitchen!! Food was flavorful and actually seasoned! I ordered to-go in person on the self ordering kiosk, which was very easy to use. Afrobeats playing in the background, set the vibes right while waiting for the food. Staff were friendly and very attentive to all guests and Uber/Doordash drivers. The main guy expediting the order was very confident that I'd like the food and will be back. He was right! I got the chicken suya plate and honey suya wings. Everything was yummy! The jollof rice isn't your mama's jollof but it'll satisfy lol. The portion size is great too. Definitely can have leftovers. The wings are more honey than suya, but still tasty. I'll be back for sure; it's quick, easy and yummy!

Chiiiiiileeee this was bomb. Loved the steak suya. Different than what I'm used to (with them using steak) but it was bomb. The spice was just right. The flavor was phenomenal. Steak was tender. Jollof was good and plantains were good. I'm a big fan and don't see myself able to pass up on this if I ran into their food truck again.

I always order online via DoorDash. The food is absolutely GREAT. Worth leaving a review for because I've never had any complaints about the food.

The best spicy collard greens on this side of foodie heaven. The plantains were cooked perfectly and the fried chicken had a perfect crispy skin, but I wasn't a fan of the sweet sauce. The store is located in an unassuming shopping center next to a barber shop and CVS. Decorated in orange, greens and brown which give a real earthy vibe. I will definitely return.

This location is found in a medium-sized strip mall (Queen's Chapel Shopping Center on Route 500, in Hyattsville) that's close to the DC border. It's next to a CVS and not far from a Lidl store. Just to be absolutely clear: this isn't the Mixt Food Hall location on Route 1, in Brentwood. The staff member who recently handled my order said that this spot has only been open for 2 months, since February 2024. Therefore, not many folks know about it. Having been a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa a while back, I can say with confidence that this food business is serving up the real deal--it's authentic West African cuisine and sorely lacking in the DMV. The menu is carefully selected and features mostly Nigerian dishes. However, Jollof Rice, one of the offerings, is claimed by many West African nations. Bear in mind that their Jollof Rice is Nigerian style; Malians and Senegalese, for example, prepare their Jollof Rice differently. I consider Jollof Rice to be like potato salad here in the US; there are lots of ways to fix it, depends on how your people like it. The Suya sauce, which is put on all the meat dishes, is lovely--it can be ordered mild (original) or hot. Both have their charms. I love the chicken wings as the meat selection, but there's many more. The Efo riro spinach dish, referred to as a stew, isn't a stew to me at all, more like a side of spinach, but whatever one wants to call it's--it's super flavorful and knocks my socks off. Efo riro is definitely a signature dish from Nigeria, specifically the Yoruba people, one of the largest ethnic groups in the country. The plantains are prepared expertly too; don't miss them. There's lots of free parking, a plus.

SO SOOO YUMMY!!! If you wanna get into African food and aren't sure this is the place to start at. This West African Naija style street food stays true to the culture, yet is still inviting to those who want to open their palates. There were multiple kiosk to place your food order. Portions were fairly big and prices were alright. The service was fairly quick, I think it took them about 15 mins or les to get my food out. I ordered: The steak suya - 11/10 Not super fatty, flavors were on point, big portion Spice wings 10/10 Really juicy, big pieces of chicken bone in, super crispy. Gets soggy and not crispy after 30 mins and isn't as good Side order of Jollof rice - 7/10 Delicious, they kept it simple. No spice to it Side order of Plantains - 8/10 Cooked very similar to what you eat at Peruvian places Total was around $65 which wasn't terrible. As long as it stays like this lol. Tips: There's parking available upfront They offer catering full pan of different menu items for around $120 Will definitely be bringing my family soon! A great spot!!!!!
