CHOBAS African Kitchen 3240 Crain Highway, Waldorf, MD 20603

"After four months of craving fufu , pepper soup and okra stew - I finally found a place in southern Maryland that had all four. My pregnancy craving was wholly satisfied. The customer service was excellent. The cashier smiled the entire time, and was friendly and polite to my family- who admittedly, have never eaten African food. He was patient as we talked through the menu options for my eldest, and swayed the current youngest to try stewed beef. We sat down and about 20-30 minutes later our entire order was brought out to the table. We enjoyed it immensely. My husband, again has never experimented with this type Of cuisine, found the jollof rice to be flavorful and better tasting than he expected. I absolutely devoured as much Okra and pepper soup as I could. Thanks guys! Glad to know there’s a place with yummy food in the area."

"I stopped in. Service was ok, and the place was clean, but food left a lot to be desired. Small portions as well. I had the goat, spinach and fufu. Wasn't good. Goat was underseasoned, gamey and not tender. Probably will not be back. The portion was on the light side as well. $24 for meal plus side of plantain, and brought my own drink."

"This is fake African food trying to be passed off as authentic. I ordered the peanut soup with a side of chicken and jollof. Jollof was instant rice, not even the correct type. Seasoning was not authentic or even good. They put frozen mixed vegetables on top, like the kind served in public schools. Chicken was under-seasoned as well. Only a small amount of peanut soup was given, about half the container. The second order was supposed to be Nigerian stew and white rice. Not even enough sauce to call stew. I wanted fish, but they were out. Only four small pieces of beef were given. I’ve grown up with Ghanaian and Nigerian food and this is disgraceful and disappointing. Save your money and go to Accra and get better chicken and jollof for $5. Not worth the $27. Would not recommend."

"Visited this place over the weekend. I'm so glad we finally have an option for African food in the area. Specially when the food is sssooo good. Everything is fresh and the taste is excellent. You MUST try their puff-puffs, they are awesome. Will definitely be going back there soon!"

"Customer service is friendly and attentive. I am a vegan and I was told that all the options are vegan and the meats are cooked separately and served on the side. The dining area was clean with booths, tables and high chairs for little ones.and the menu is friendly on the wallet. Food was good. I left off 1 star because there were only 3 kinds of cake vanilla, coconut and red velvet. I ordered the kids jollof rice, with chicke. And veggies for my son."
