Appioo African Bar & Grill

I came there to eat after I had ordered online the previous day.I was a tourist from Canada who wanted a feel of home made meal. I sat there for almost 30 minutes before I was served by a very young lady. All this while, there was this woman idle with a fake American accent, who was Ghanaian I believe, just laughing ant me and looking at me, and idling about. She was there all this while from the beginning.i felt very bad. It was my birthday period in March 2023. I was traumatized for a long time before I gathered courage to speak now. The male chef/ owner I believe later came to find out how the food went. That gave me some hope. They should learn customer service especially that woman. If she can’t do the job, I believe she can stay at home and continue applying lots of make up. Thank you.

Food was delicious and authentic. If you love West African cuisine, Appio Bar and Grill is a must!! The cocktails were also great. Ambiance and vibe as well, will be going back soon to try more dishes

The food was really good, but we waited 2 hours before we were served.

Took over hour to get an appetizer, and the place was empty. Ordered fried goat, small portion. Nice music and art work.

This place had the best food ive ever had in my entire life the egusi is the best thing in the world you dont even know what im saying right now i dont even know what im right now im on another plane of existence rn because it was so so so so yummy

I’m not sure what’s going on with this restaurant. But they ruined my night and dinner plans with their excessive delays. I ordered food from them through Uber eats and somehow did not get my food as a result of their excessive delays and Uber’s gross incompetence. Nonetheless I will never order anything from this restaurant again. I’ve somehow ended my night with no dinner because I chose to rely on these guys.

Appioo is a delightful hidden gem in the DC area. The food is delivered hot and in aesthetically pleasing "stone" bowls. The Jollof rice and Peanut soup is as authentic as you can get. My friend who lived in Ghana said the flavors were as close you can get. The service was a little unenthusiastic but the food experience made up for it. The quality and quantity of the dishes combined with the relatively low price for the DC area makes this Appioo a go-to if you are craving delicious Ghanian food or if you are feeling adventurous and want to try something new.

Great food !

The first few times I went the food was great but it has gone down significantly over the past few months. But service is always good and the restaurant is clean. I usually get the egusi soup and pounded yam. If I go back, I wouldn’t order that. Been disappointed too many times.
