Spicy Water African Grill

"First off, this is one of the best names for a restaurant. Food is delicious! I ordered a quarter chicken with plantains. My friend ordered oxtail stew. Both of our meals were beyond fantastic. It's so rare to find any African food, and good African food is a gem. This is a great place off the beaten path. In the scattering of the gentrified I street, this place has great food and character. The server was also so kind and attentive. He gave us great suggestions and worked with our schedule (we were going to show at Lincoln theater). The first floor has takeout, and second floor has cozy seating. Good for a night out with some girlfriends, a first date, or to try someplace new."

"Definitely a hidden gem. They recently open the top level for indoor dining and the place is beautiful. My wife and I had the exact same entry. We had fried Red Snapper, Jollof Rice, and Cassava Leaf(doesn't normally come with but paid extra to have it). Best food I've had in a long time."

"This food is scrumptious! The owner and the staff are very friendly. I look forward to my now weekly trips. I always get multiple meals. The beef is the most delicious and tender I've ever had. I typically don't eat beef but Spicy Water's is a must...and the chicken...and the salad. Up next, salmon! The owner shares that an upstairs setting will soon be ready and the already outside deck is cute. Do yourself a favor, patronize this place."
