African Palace 117 North Frederick Avenue, Gaithersburg, MD 20877

"First time, tried the egusi dish and pounded yam and I was very disappointed. I wanted spinach Egusi, got home it tasted so bitter, I called and they said it was a wrong veggie option. They offered me to go pick the right Egusi, I drove all the way to get home and have the same bitter Egusi again At this I didn’t want to call them anymore. I have ate Egusi from other restaurants and it’s amazing"

"Just answering to a review someone posted regarding this place and was not true. No kidding, this is the best African restaurant you'll find in the Montgomery County. I've been invited in the kitchen by the owner herself to see how things are made. I cam attest that they don't use Maggie at all. The puf-puf is fried only once and always has it's famous color and taste. I've been having jollof at this place for over 5years and I'm talking about every week. The tastes has always been the same. I don't know what Banga soup is but I'm sure it wasn't watery. I've had all the soups on their menu. The only soup that is watery is the light soup which as the name implies has to be light. I'd invite you next time you go there, ask to speak to the owner."

"They need to hire a consistent and good chef. The food I bought yesterday was not ok. The jollof rice was off taste. The maggi was crazily too much. The banga soup was watery and the goat meat was half done, but the poundo was smooth. The puff-puff was too strong and dark brown, I guess it was fried twice after it get cold. I wasted over 60dollars in total after ordering 3 dishes. I both dine in and also took out."

"The food was delicious. The service was great, but the wait was too long. I would suggest a light appetizer during the 45 minute wait for the food. They also need full size glasses for drinks."
