Mansa Kunda - Takoma Park

This restaurant did not disappoint from the initial phone call to the last bite! I was skeptical of ordering third party due to reviews so I picked up myself and I?m glad I did . The staff were personable and attentive . The patrons were pleasant and clearly communicated their satisfaction with Mansa Kunda. Supporting black business was intentional and the icing on the cake . I ordered the plantains, chicken jollof rice , meat pie, and Afra chicken . Everything was

Everything was so delicious! There isn?t a picture of ALL of our food because we were too impatient to eat. But the vibe was great, the music amazing, and it was such a lovely down to earth vibe there. I loved the menu too. It was a great place to bring friends and family and just gather and eat. Also, parking was a breeze. So there?s really no reason not to go.

This was hands down a 5/5 experience. I’ll start by saying Hatib, the owner, was so kind and confident about his menu. He helped guide me and my vegan friend through the menu. We ended up ordering Che Bu Jain with Beef and the Yassa with Tofu and wowwww. First off, as a non vegan, I have to say the Yassa with tofu is some of the best food I’ve had to date. This is a plant based/vegan paradise as the owner is a vegetarian that has carefully crafted a menu that seamlessly has delicious vegan and non vegan food. The Che Bu Jain was also a 10/10. This restaurant is a gem that I regret not discovering earlier. The owner is kind, and deeply cares for his customers, culture and cuisine. The ambience of the space is also amazing. It’s a great place to do work or just hang out. I’ll be here regularly and I hope this review is your sign to come visit. Bonus, the owner is a phenomenal baker with both vegan and non vegan desserts.

Such a great experience here, will most definitely come back! I loved the atmosphere. The food was so fresh delicious!! All of the meat was cooked to perfection, every single thing we ordered was a hit! I believe it was Hatib that helped us he was lovely! Can’t wait to come back to try more, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

This was my second time at Mansa Kunda. The food is delicious. My sister and I ordered the vegetable pies, meat pies, and akara fritters. The appetizers were amazing! My sister had beef with jollof and I had paneer with jollof. We loved our food. I also had the hibiscus juice.
