Balkonie Bar and Lounge

"Just had a dinner party planned for after a wedding and they only had two staff members working. Food wasn't delivered to guests. Party members had to act as waiters. Money was paid up front. Horrible experience."

"I came from out of town to visit my friend Sam and she brought me to this restaurant because I told her I wanted to try the suya and I'm so glad that she brought me!!! The decor was beautiful. Lots of colorful lighting and comfortable, inviting seating. The DJ was AMAZING. I danced in my seat the whole time I was there. AND THE FOOD!!! TOTAL SWOON!!! I am STILL dreaming about the grilled suya!!! It was seasoned and cooked to perfection!!! The spring rolls and mozzarella sticks and jollof rice were amazing as well. I will come here every time I visit DC!!! Thank you, Victoria, for a wonderful experience!!!"

"The restaurant was clean and well decorated. The music was pleasing. The food was tasty. I loved the glowing color changing table tops!"

"My friends and I went a few weeks ago to have the unlimited mimosas at brunch but it was not being served. The owner did accommodate us. We had a good time, even though we were pretty much the only ones in there. The food was good and so was the music. The staff were great and kept us smiling. This was the first time I had jollof rice and it was good. I would like to go back and see the other brunch experience."
