   It was amazing! As a Nigerian, I really loved the spice and flavor in the egusi and suya. Will be back!

   I’m mixed about this one. It had a pretty young vibe and really nice and appropriate decore. The music was great, but it was so loud that my friends and I couldn’t hear each other and felt like we had to shout the entire evening. They had a quieter side of the restaurant but said they couldn’t seat patrons there that night. The food was ok.

   The food was outstanding - authentic Nigerian flavours and taste. Went with a party of four and we had moi-moi, jollof rice, fried plantains, oxtail, suya and peppersoup. All in a very comfortable and welcoming ambience with lovely Nigerian music. The Continent DC is a great experience!

   Fun atmosphere, great vibes, service was a bit slow but understandable given the place was packed.

    First and last time. Service is horrible and I mean that. I do understand that sometimes it gets a bit busy but there weren’t that many people in the restaurant. I took nearly 30 mins to be offered water at the table. When we finally got water we asked to put in our order. Food came nearly 45 mins later but it was wrong. Waitress didn’t know where to bring the food. Finally the beverage ordered came after the food. Food was not good, was cold, flavorless, and to be quite honest I was not impressed. As a new business I don’t expect everything to be perfect but last night was nothing short of horrible. I wont come back again but I do wish for them to get it together.
