My friend and I loved our experience at Mansa Kunda! Yes I said experience because the tasty food, beautiful art on the walls, bar stools made from large drums, great cultural conversation about the origin of jollof rice (Senegambian) with the server and I believe owner, was more than you normally expect from a night out for dinner. We had fried plantains which were not greasy like some I've had in other places. The benachin (jollof meal) had the best jollof rice I've ever had. FYI I'm an American but I've had jollof from both a Nigerian auntie and a Ghanaian friend! I also had a very yummy shito flatbread with fish. Oh and the desserts were amazing! Most were gluten free and vegan. We tried...
I had a very delightful experience when I visited Mansa Kunda Restaurant yesterday evening. When I entered the restaurant, I was immediately impressed by the decor, which made me reminisce about my travels to Senegal and the Gambia. The menu has several appealing dishes, and we chose Yassa with fish, Oxtail Stew, and Jollof Rice. The portions were large and the food was delicious. For dessert, we had toasted almond bread pudding and blueberry pound cake with a blueberry glaze, and I was pleasantly surprised when they added a candle to my cake and sang happy birthday to me. The service was awesome. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I look forward to visiting again.
Great food!!! We ordered the national dish with chicken and rice and the peanut butter curry dish. Also had the banana leaf tamale appetizer. The flavors were AMAZING. Beauty decor as well, overall lovely experience for our family, will be back! My only thing to be upfront about is that it is not fast food. They are making it fresh, and good stuff takes time. Totally worth any wait. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
We've been here three times and will continue to patronize this restaurant. The two gentlemen are pleasant. We've tried the veggie patties, Afra, Benachin, Ebbeh, curry chicken, traditional jollof rice, dessert and coffee. The portion size is perfect for sharing. Excellent as leftovers. You feel full but not heavy.

Such a great experience here, will most definitely come back! I loved the atmosphere. The food was so fresh delicious!! All of the meat was cooked to perfection, every single thing we ordered was a hit! I believe it was Hatib that helped us he was lovely! Can’t wait to come back to try more, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Our book club had a wonderful dinner and discussion. The food was delicious and unique and interesting. The art work was just as interesting as the food. I had peanut stew and FuFu it was delicious and I highly recommend this dish. We had an assortment of appetizers and desserts they were all amazing.
The place is nice and the food looks delicious. I ordered the beef Peanut Butter Chu, but I received a cold Chicken Peanut Butter Chu that was no less than 3 days old. I was so disappointed. I drive over an hour for the food. The Attieke was decent tho. I will give it another try.
This was my second time at Mansa Kunda. The food is delicious. My sister and I ordered the vegetable pies, meat pies, and akara fritters. The appetizers were amazing! My sister had beef with jollof and I had paneer with jollof. We loved our food. I also had the hibiscus juice.

Sincerely appreciate that they can make nearly any dish vegan! Have been a few times now and everything is always so delicious. Service is great and the outdoor tables are also a big plus!
I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. It feels like a little piece of Africa just hidden in Takoma Park. The hosts are really friendly and the food
