Best WLM Reviews
I’ve been coming here for years and they never disappoint. My food is always amazing and I can tell it’s made with love. I have been craving this for weeks and I said today is the day I’m free and nothing to do, so I stopped in and was greeted with a smile, it smells amazing. They have definitely came a long way, it’s been some renovations which look nice and the new menus was super helpful. I got the #1 combo, and it comes with jollof rice, chicken I sub for goat tho and plantains, I also added cassava all over.. and I had to get two of my favorite meat pies…. I’m about to crush this food. The best part is I don’t have to share ❤️????????????
My first time here and I must say that lady I encountered today was rude. She couldn't answer if the African chicken was sweet, spicy or anything. The place has an odor soon as you walk in. I went ahead and ordered the american chicken and it was insulting. It was beyond dry, not chewable and zero flavor. I asked her how much extra is it for the rice and she said $18. I ordered the rock creek soda and the menu said it was $1.40. It turned out to be $1.76. I asked the lady why is it .36¢ more than what's posted on the menu and she shrugged her shoulders and walked away. I said ok, I know not to come back here. Major disappointed. Definitely don't recommend nor will I be returning. Zero stars if I could
**Review of Zion Kitchen**
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Zion Kitchen is a delightful gem nestled in the heart of Washington, D.C. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its vibrant menu.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the food. The menu features a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary dishes, showcasing fresh ingredients and bold flavors. I tried the signature Zion Bowl, which was a perfect balance of spices, textures, and colors. Each ingredient felt thoughtfully chosen, and the portion size was generous.
The service was exceptional. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, ensuring our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, creating a relaxed environment.
One of the standout features is the restaurant's commitment to sustainability. It’s clear that they prioritize local sourcing and eco-friendly practices, which adds an extra layer of appreciation for the meal.
Whether you're looking for a casual dinner or a place to celebrate a special occasion, Zion Kitchen is a fantastic choice. I left feeling satisfied and eager to explore on their menu.highly recommend
Ordered moi moi and got a project instead of a prepared meal. The instructions on the back are VERY limited. It doesn’t even tell you how to store the bag. If the moi moi isn’t readily prepared, you need to include that on Postmates.
For added clarification: I like to try something new from this restaurant every time I order because most of the dishes are DELICIOUS. I ordered the moi moi after searching it up. I expected a prepared flan - sized serving not a pouch that one would find at an international market.
Also whoever packed the red stew did not seal the container! The lid doesn’t even fit in the container. Half the stew spilled in the bag.
The jollof rice, fish roll, beans, and pounded yam are great as usual. If you get the fish roll, get the spicy sauce too!
This restaurant serves a variety of West African food. Parking is available in front of the restaurant but is limited. Choose to dine in or take away. The dine in area is spacious and can accommodate a sizable party. I got my favorite drink - Malt here. Server was courteous and remembered my order from an earlier phone call in the day. Food was good.
I literally love African food . I used to come to this place growing up it was delicious. It used to be long lines it was so good .
Now 8/10 the food will be terrible. I ordered Uber eats today $25 for spinach stew fugu and beef . The beef is so hard u can’t eat it the stew is oily no flavor . The worst ! I don’t have money to waste hoping the food will b ok anymore it’s never good. African chicken is salty last time I ate here ( I may have gotten food poisoning but I wasn’t sure my symptoms didn’t last long)it’s almost a joke. Maybe if you’re African you’ll get good food . I don’t know but after almost 20years unfortunately we will never come back we’ll have to find a new spot !
The only African food I’ve ever tried was jollof rice and I had a taste for it while visiting D.C. When I went into the restaurant I wasn’t greeted which made the experience not that welcoming. As stated I’ve only tried jollof rice so I had questions about a few of the meats offered by the restaurant. The cashier Funmi talked very low when answering my questions and kept it short. I was the only one there so it was no rush. Each item I purchased was charged separately which made it a bit pricey. They charged me $10.99 for 3 pieces of assorted meat (cow foot, beef, tripe). For $10 I would expect a whole separate container of meat just like everything else. I didn’t get $27.47 worth of food. Overall the taste of the food was the best thing but the customer service and food price can be worked on.
I had a very bad experience from them and I'm never ordering from again. I ordered some peanut butter soup, didn't receive it. They told me to call a doordash.And this is unacceptable for a business like.Come on, people, let's be real.The lady had a total nasty attitude and I was so polite.I usually don't write bad reviews but this is disgusting
