Kings Way

I went yesterday with a group of 5 people who had never had Nigerian food before. We were ready to explore and had a great experience.
The wait staff quickly learned from my questions that we were newbies and she was happy and quick to explain everything. After we received excellent explanations, she actually came out with 2 trays of food for us to sample before even ordering.
We tried: Iyan (pounded yam), jollof rice, fried rice, plantains, meat pie, fish roll, sausage roll, eguai, efo riro, buka stew, and some other things I can’t remember the names of.
Everything was great although I was not the biggest fan of the jollof rice and could not figure out how to use the iyan. I have since learned I should have dipped it in the stew which sounds delicious now.
For my order I tried the goat, jollof rice, and plantains. The goat meat was amazing, I haven’t had goat meat that good in years. The rice and plantains were fine, but the meat stole the show.
Everyone with me enjoyed their meals which included duplicates of what we had sampled mostly – meat pie, fish roll, sausage roll, etc. One person had the chicken and found it spicy, but he also is the type of person to complain that old el paso salsa is too hot. So if you don’t like spicy at all, make sure to be careful. If you like a little flavor, you should be fine.
Overall we had a great experience with tasty food!

Since I have not find any reviews online, I was not quite feeling good about it not having found previous reviews. So to be cautious, I asked about their business and here’s the tale: just opened last month. We were cruising in Baltimore Ave and with my sharp eyes and sharp senses, the Caribbean smell of exotic flavors directed me to the other side of the road, and excitedly made a u-​turn safely at the light. An employee from the same company I worked for, also was there to pick up his order. I was glad to see a familiar face in unfamiliar space. I asked him if their food specifically Nigerian were good. He said it’s good and recommending dishes that we are new to us or assuming the oxtail is just like the Jamaican caribbean. We decided to take the food to go since the space is a bit gloomy, dark or lacking inviting dining experience. So we spent waiting for 20 minutes and at that time we were impressed that they were not leftover of the day, however, I realized that we were just starting to cook between 12−1pm and not ready for customers yet. We went home and at the first taste, it was salty and worse, burning spicy (so not Jamaican flavor).
To make it even more awful, the meat was hard and smelly. Where did they get the meat? I felt like I was eating like a barbarian in the medieval times. All the food was unpalatable. My tale ended when the food worth $ 22 something went to the garbage. I know this for sure that their food will never get to the kings banquet, and if they do and if it was King Henry VIII, their heads will be headed for serving food like this. And like the marriages/​wives of the King, I’m predicting that KW’s business will not last. Before you get this way, the honeymoon will be over soon. I hope that you learn for this tale and that you don’t reach the Kings Way. Or if you do, like Hansel and Gretel lost in the track, you’ll find yourself in the house of witches. If you are smart, you stay away and save the trip and money. But if you try to be brave and unbeliever, they are waiting for you but only to find for yourself that it was a wrong turn. Be glad now that I did do the first review and you have been warned. I know that reviews are matter of opinions and subjective, but I know my tale is not fictional. How ever brief this is, this is history for me.
