I loved the grilled chicken and lamb -- juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The tilapia was a bit underwhelming, mainly because the fish itself has a bit of a muddy aftertaste. Pair it with a sweet and tangy Bissap -- a vibrant sorrel and pineapple juice -- and the whole meal easily scores an 8.5/10. I also really liked the cozy wooden hut vibe of Nailah's Kitchen. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of tables and chairs, and the red, green, and yellow lights make the whole place feel just as colorful as the dishes they serve. Service was okay, but it's definitely a spot worth visiting for the food.

A place where you can find jollof rice AND Jamaican beef patties? Sign me up!…read more The exterior is unassuming but the interior is bright, clean, and the service is polite and attentive. Kudos to the owner for being such a delight! I ordered jollof rice with chicken and a beef patty (of course). Both were excellent but I have to shower the jollof rice with praise. As a Nigerian American, the struggle to find good jollof is real. I have to say that this Ghanian style jollof was quite good. I won't get into a whole thing about which country has the best jollof but I enjoyed this iteration quite a bit. I highly recommend checking out KSB when you're near Parkville.

This is probably the hardest food place to find. It takes courage to navigate all the conspicuous…read morealleyways to get to this location. First of all, this is a startup trying to fill the gap in the African food desert of Baltimore downtown. This place is not all that put together guessing by the local, but it does offer excellent surprises. The Jollof is taste and flavorful, the natural ingredients brings out the flavor in unique French Ivory Coast way. The meat is tender and chewy. The Oxtail was just an overpriced collection of fat and bones. There is a delivery option, highly recommended since finding this place can be confusing. Make sure to call ahead to confirm the menu items. For most foodies, this will satisfy but leaves you asking for better meat and better food experience. Inside seating is limited or non existence. It's a labor of love for the owner and passion for the cook.
