Backyaad Grill

Got a chance to try this spot in the Mixt Food Hall and really enjoyed the wings! They are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside which was perfect. The jollof was decent but the not best I have had ..it didn't help that it wasn't hot. The efo riro was tasty but could have used a bit more kick. In all I would definitely go back for the wings and maybe try the chicken suya. My friends enjoyed their meals as well especially the Salmon

I visited the Spice Kitchen West African Grill located in the Mixt Food Hall twice in a row for the jollof rice. It’s undoubtedly the best jollof I’ve had in the DMV. The suya is equally very delicious!!! I highly recommend the Spice Kitchen if you have a taste for Authentic Nigerian Jollof rice.

Small but busy kitchen, tucked away inside the food hall in Brentwood. Concise but potent menu. I had the "steak plate" with Jollof rice and plantains. (Each "plate" option - salmon, shrimp, steak, or chicken - comes with two of the signature sides.) Simply delicious. Flavorful without being overbearing. Will definitely visit again!

I ordered two large beef suya through Doordash. The taste is great, but no onions or anything are served with it as I'm accustomed, unless they forgot to include it in both orders. Trying again today to see if that's different because I see some pictured in other reviews. Edit: I initially rated at 4 stars, butI called to enquire about what's served with their suya as I ordered again today, and nothing was missing from the order. Great food and great customer service. I'll definitely be ordering again.

Love this spot! Thanks for going the extra mile for my birthday lunch. If you haven't tried the wings and delicious salmon plate, do not delay. The rich flavor profiles of West Africa are on display. I appreciate Spice Kitchen's attention to celebrate the strengths, excellence, and diversity of West African cuisine. 5 stars across the board-and for the extra red stew 💃 🌟 ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️ 🌟
