After a long day of getting my locs retwisted nearby, I decided to stop here for dinner on my way…read morehome. I didn't realize where the restaurant was located beforehand, so I was a little surprised when I arrived. It's in a very urban area, which may or may not matter depending on your comfort level. There was a decent amount of seating inside if you choose to dine in. The restaurant was okay in terms of cleanliness, but personally, I'd opt for takeout. I originally planned to eat inside but changed my mind once I got there. Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't the best. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, and when I received my order, the takeout container wasn't fully closed and was placed halfway into the bag. I'm not sure if it was just an oversight, but it didn't leave the best first impression. Now, the food, that's where they won me over. Everything was well-seasoned, and the suya had just the right amount of spice. They were out of the vegetable I originally wanted, but I'm actually glad I tried the corn because it was absolutely delicious. And that suya butter sauce? It was the star of the meal! Overall, while the location and customer service weren't my favorite, the food was flavorful enough that I'd come back if I were in the area and craving suya.

Review: fish (10/10) chicken was a 1000/10. It was sooooooo good. Very flavorful and not tough like the typical African meat. My problem was the rice. It was plain and spicy so I couldn't eat it, didn't like it, and will never order it again. Service was efficient. The young man who took my order was attentive and honored my request to not have the spicy sauce added to my fish. Decor: it appeared clean, even the restroom. However, it was drab decorations (typical African carryout). Overall, I would recommend this place because the food (-the rice) and service were 10/10. Prices were also comparable to other places I've reviewed. Check out my other food reviews on my various social media platforms: CocoasJoy

The suya was about $13 & in a VERY small container. It is not worth it. The side of jollof rice was ample as most African dishes, the rice is plentiful. The egusi had NO flavor at all. I felt like it was for the diabetic..it just tasted spicy. I even tried putting a lil salt... I do not recommend the egusi.

Ivo Restaurant has relocated to this new address with an upgrade to their service. The food is, without question, consistently good, the menu is comprised of sauce graine with oxtail( palmnut stew), sauce arrachide with oxtail (peanut sauce) and the famous ivorian Kedjenou (chicken and vegetables cooked under pressure for optimum flavor). The grilled tilapia and fried plantains is a flagship but there is so much more to discover on the menu.. You can either dine in in a comfortable environment or do a take out of anything on the menu. My only recommendation for carry out would be that you find a better sealed container for the stews and sauces. Carry on with all the upgrades. 4.6 out of 5

For this week's effort to support local businesses, our food delivery app recommended a brand new…read moreWest African restaurant called Ivo that is located in the Hyattsvile Regal Theater complex across from the Mall of Prince George's (aka PG Plaza) The cuisine is from Ivory Coast, specifically. I ordered braised fish. I got the entire fish from head to tail. It was massive! The fish was very succulent and tasty. Not dried at all and well seasoned but NOT overseasoned! It also was not salty or greasy and oily! A PLUS for someone watching their cholesterol. It was very KETO friendly because it was served with an onion and diced cabbage slaw and a tomato based pepper sauce on the side. The fish is really bony however but the bones were very thick so you could avoid choking on them if you're not used to eating bony fish. The portion is so large it could feed 2 people! By yourself, you could arguably divide up eating this fish into 4 meals: You could eat this for lunch, dinner and then lunch again and a snack! For $18.99 you also get to pick a free side! I got the plaintains and we got plenty in the small carton that came in the bag. This is a steal of a price compared to what other area Afrian restauants charge for a full entree. It arrived super fast (like under 20 minutes) and was piping hot and fresh! I will definitely order there again especially bc they are so close to where I live. By the time I ordered in the evening, most of their most popular dishes were sold out so that tells me this place is a hidden gem that has already been discovered by locals who are keeping it quiet and to themselves. And for that reason, I will skip blabbing about them in my Next Door app but will help them out by giving them good reviews in Uber Eats, Postmates, Door Dash, Google Biz and Yelp and Facebook.

So the first time it was really good and I was like I'm gonna come back the second time it did not taste the same. It was like pieces in it that kind of felt like wood. I'm not sure what the brown pieces were that were in at this time, but it was a bunch of them. I really didn't like that and it wasn't in there the first time but it was still decent and it's close to my home so I went a third time when I wanted some fufu and Egusi but this time it was no flavor. I end up having to put a little sea salt in it to spruce it up a little bit which I just don't wanna have to do. I also got the peanut butter soup with chicken and jollof rice. The portion for the peanut soup and jollof and chicken was great. The flavor was zero... a major major disappointment. I was so disappointed that I wish I can go and get my money back because I tried to spruce it up but it was just nothing to revive it. No Bueno not good at all so mad I wasted my money on that. The ambience is just basic Mom and Pop African shop. Nothing grand and the service is OK. It's just basic service. Nothing too special. Although the first time I went in there with my son and I told the woman, my son's name she insulted me by saying oh that's the problem with you Americans ... and thats the difference between Americans and Africans. Insanely rude to say to somebody who supporting your business because she didn't like my child's name so I guess that's not great customer service. She should focus more on the flavor of her food and not with people named their children.

Let me tell you something, and let me tell you well. This place is not a restaurant, it is a…read morelounge. If you go there expecting proper dining, ha, you will be disappointed like I was. The food is not the focus at all. It was decent, I will not lie, but the way they served it? Ah ah, no now. They brought our food in to-go boxes, like takeaway, and by the time they now transferred it to plates, everything was already cold. Cold food, just like that. Of course I was upset, and yes, it affected my whole experience. And then they added automatic 20% service charge. For what kind of service, please? Because what we received did not match that at all. Now, let me be fair, the staff themselves were nice, no issue there. My problem is the food experience. But once you understand it is a lounge, honestly, the food will not even matter once alcohol enters your system. That one will cover many things. We were sitting down properly, drinking, expecting normal restaurant service. Next thing, they are bringing food in a bag like we ordered UberEats. I said, ah ah, what is this? The tables are very small, no space to even enjoy your meal well. You will just be managing. The place is also hard to find, no clear sign outside except one small poster like you should already know the place. Parking? You will struggle, just prepare your mind. If you want to go for vibes and drinks, you can manage it. But if you are looking for a proper dining experience, my dear, do not stress yourself. As for me, I have learned my lesson. I will not be coming back.
