Zuri Bistro

Walked up to the front door and the front door and window was filthy dirty! My goodness if the front looks this bad the rats & roaches must be raiding the kitchen! I've eaten street food in 3rd world nations but was not brave enough for this. I could be wrong, I've noticed that a number of small places in DC take no pride in their appearance.

They need to clean BUT this is some of THE BEST African food in DC. FLAVORS UNREAL!

I ordered beef stew with white rice. The beef was mostly bone and fat. That was very frustrating. It was not worth the price. The sauce was good. But I basically paid $20 for white rice and sauce. Not sure why they serve that. A few days ago, I was at Teddys Roti Shop across the street. That was much better.

(They be scamming)
Nah man. This purchase for $21 is over priced for such quantity. Not worth buying man. Not at all
I had to take the chicken off the bones… shattered bones at that.
Literally ordered a dish of chicken stew “spicy” with fufu on the side. Yo… the chicken is literally 1 and a half chicken wing. Not even Chinese food is that much $$ for 5 wings… basically 2 wings with tomato sauce and a small dip sauce cup of the spicy. And a well portion of fufu… all this for 21 then they wanna add 3-4 bucks for goat meat dish? Nah man. Not the price worthy. I’ll buy this for $12. $16.50 tops. 2 stars for such a overwhelming price.. not worth it. I thought this was going to be some good chicken stew great portion of it for such price.But Nah man. What a price for such dish… crazy how people pay that much for such little bit… i rather go to iron age spend 8 more buck and eat as much I want. This meal Not worth the price (picture of dish picked out the chicken off bones) (pictures with a bad of bones.. )
Note update:
The fufu???
I can go to giant buy me potato powder and make that same exact one From this dish.

Ordered the curry chicken and beef with suya, with sides of jollof rice and spinach. I called in the order directly and picked it up myself, expecting a $30 bill, yet somehow these two entrees cost over $50. When I asked about the price because I was clearly being overcharged, the staff member simply pointed to a sign that says “we raised our prices.” The chicken was mostly bone and was so tough that it was inedible, and the beef was too dry to enjoy. The only thing worth eating was the jolla rice. I unfortunately won’t come here again.

I'm visiting MD and decided to try this African restaurant. I ordered jollof rice, suya, and plantains for delivery via Grubhub and I was excited when the food arrived. Sadly, when I opened the package, I did not see any plantain. Instead, they sent me white rice. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with just white rice, but yeah, that really bummed me out.

THAT SAID, the jollof rice was really spicy and delicious. Full of flavor and tasted authentic. I was impressed. The suya was tasty, but the pepper sauce it came with took it to another level. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars if they didn't mess up my order (I was really looking forward to the plantains). Overall, the food here was good 👌🏾

Got the suya platter with plantains and jollof rice. Plantains were not ripe but the suet was very good it was it spicy but it was seasoned well good quality meats and the rice was great. Good portions as well will definitely order from here again.

08-Feb- 2023. So I ordered a silver platter with plantains and a grilled goat platter with plantain. DO NOT ORDER THE PLANTAINS. These are not ripe at all. Also the goat is mostly bones. Better get the Suya with some Jollof. They need to stop giving out unseasoned green plantains as fried plantains.

Best West African food in the DMV area. They have some really good tasting and healthy organic drink to go along with the food. I live in Virginia but when ever I pass by there area I stop by. They have good customer service too.
