I come here almost every week and the food is amazing! I usually get the egusi soup with pounded yam and the meat pies are delicious as well! The service is always great and the staff are so kind. The owner is also a nice guy and you can tell he’s passionate about his business.

This is a great restaurant. I have been coming here for over five years. I have never experienced any unusual delays as commented by a customer. The food here is always good. I will continue to come and encourage those who appreciate hard working Africans to do so

Had a great experience! I met the owner and he shared a little bit of history about De Ranch. Very knowledgeable about the food and suya was hot and good. If you’re looking for good Nigerian food in the DMV, visit this location, you won’t be disappointed!
