Reviews for Mansa Kunda Restaurant in Takoma Park, MD
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! Read more
I am from the West Coast and was brought to the restaurant via my daughter. Since my first meal I have come repeatedly because I... can't get enough. Let me say as an African-American who has dined in the finest restaurants from Africa to America -- MansaKunda is hands down the best African / Senegambian cuisine in the North, South, East, or West. I ate every morsel and crumb onthe plate. Compliments to the talented and gifted chef and the wonderful owner, Mr. Ali whom is always welcoming and kind. Ihope many people will be able to experience the supreme tastefulness of the food and its exquisite artistic presentation. Read more
Excellent food! Best jollof rice! Wonderful atomsphere! It was a pleasure to dine here. Eating African food can be challenging... when you are vegan but all their dishes are vegan friendly. So my husband can enjoy his meat and fish allowing us to eattogether. We definitely will be back when we are in town. Read more
Everything was so delicious! There isn?t a picture of ALL of our food because we were too impatient to eat. But the vibe was... great, the music amazing, and it was such a lovely down to earth vibe there. I loved the menu too. It was a great place to bringfriends and family and just gather and eat. Also, parking was a breeze. So there?s really no reason not to go. Read more
Wow!!! I've never quite been to a restaurant quite this authentic, yummy, and modern! Usually if the décor is high end, which... it is here, the food isn't that great, but this place offers both!!! And excellent service to top it off! Read more
Dinner for 5. We were the only customers and there was only 1 person working. He was the greeter, waiter, cook and busboy, all... in one. They serve large portions. Food was decent, although I prefer my native Nigerian jollof rice. I got the blueberryhibiscus bread pudding to go. Can't wait to try it! Read more
This restaurant did not disappoint from the initial phone call to the last bite! I was skeptical of ordering third party due to... reviews so I picked up myself and I?m glad I did . The staff were personable and attentive . The patrons were pleasant andclearly communicated their satisfaction with Mansa Kunda. Supporting black business was intentional and the icing on the cake .I ordered the plantains, chicken jollof rice , meat pie, and Afra chicken . Everything was flavorful and fresh! Theprofessionalism and cultural draw of website was a great indication of the culinary experience I was about to embark on . YouMUST try this restaurant. ( you?d think they were paying me for this review ! No- it was just THAT good!) Read more
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 andI believe owner, was more than you normally expect from a night out for dinner. We had fried plantains which were not greasylike 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 butI've had jollof from both a Nigerian auntie and a Ghanaian friend! I also had a very yummy shito flatbread with fish. Oh and thedesserts were amazing! Most were gluten free and vegan. We tried 4!! I can't wait to bring my family and friends!! Read more
