Sunbim African American Caribbean Cuisine

Super delicious, fresh food that bring an amazing ambiance of flavors from West Africa! My favorite place and I’m sure it’ll be yours too!

I've ate at almost all African restaurants in the DMV and SUNBIM has the BEST EGUSI ever! It's so delicious and well seasoned.

Friendly service but my meal missed the mark for me. The gentleman that took my order said he was from Nigeria but I wonder if where he is from in Nigeria simply cooks different from the part/region of Nigeria where my favorite Nigerian place is from... I ordered jollof and stewed fish and asked that my sauce ve spicy. I also noticed peanut butter soup (usually on Ghanaian menus) on the menu and also cassava. The drive home was not good and they really should get some better containers... My fish was dry, the stew fish sauce wasn't spicy at all and smelled/tasted/resembled ketchup... The peanut butter soup didn't taste like peanut butter or even close to how the Ghanaians make it and I can't put into words how the cassava tasted... I don't know..

It 's a no for me. I called my order and my husband came in only to find they not only didn 't start the order but they didn 't even write it down. What 's the point of even accepting a call in order if you aren 't going to work on the order before someone gets there? I would prefer they don 't take them or make you pay when you order. I ordered the jollof rice with chicken and peanut butter stew and cassava on the second dish. Maybe I 'm spoiled by Suma 's, but it 's literally a few pieces 3 small pieces of chicken) over top of the rice and then the stew gravy over top. I mean like a leg, a half cut of a thigh and I don 't even know what chopped piece the other one was. I prefer the meat chopped up and mixed in. The peanut stew also wasn 't that flavorful. Chobas in Waldorf also does the covered chicken with the stew, but theirs is more flavorful. I didn 't mind the price $16 ish for the dish). BUT when my husband asked for pepper sauce they said it 's $2.50. We have two dishes and we have to pay $2.50 for pepper sauce. And this picture is the size. I did like the rice. But I wouldn 't come here again

I really wanted this to be a spot I frequent but I thought it was terrible. My very first time I came here I got j chicken that was cooked super hard. On Saturday night, I ordered peanut butter soup with chicken and jollof rice. The rice had a burnt taste and smell which was disgusting and the chicken needed more seasoning. I was told that my order would take 20 mins but ended up taking about 45-1 hour, which kinda pissed me off as I'm very impatient. The ONLY reason I'm giving it two stars is bc the man there was super nice, other than that, I won't be back!!!!
