Food Geez Restaurant and Lounge

I ordered the okra stew hoping for a warm, comforting dish. What I received instead was a bowl of bitter betrayal. The stew arrived looking like it had lost a fight with a blender and some expired vegetables. The broth was bland, somehow both watery and greasy, and had the unfortunate aftertaste of regret and overcooked onions. The seasoning, if it existed, was gone! I kept waiting for something — anything — to redeem the dish. A spark of flavor, a hint of spice, a glimmer of effort. Nothing came. By the third bite, I gave up. Not even hunger could justify continuing. If you're considering the okra stew: don't. Save yourself. Eat literally anything else. Lick a rock. Chew a napkin. Just... not this.

Absolutely love their food!! I originally saw this young man on Fox 29 during African Food week. We were in the area and took my picky eater grandsons here and met this man who was very patient with our ordering. We got the Egusi soup, potato collard with chicken soup, Jollof rice with plantain, and fried chicken and Jollof rice. None of us had Liberian food before. We loved it…all. We have enough for leftovers. Shared it with the family at home and they loved it too. Highly recommend. Also while we ate there, many take door dash type orders were coming in and going out. I only gave four stars for Service because there were some dishes that were not available. We reheated the fufu by putting tbsp of water in it and heating in microwave at 15 sec then stirring then another 15 sec and so on

My nephew was craving fufu and egusi soup and after a quick search on Google maps and a call to the restaurant (no menu was available in maps), we made our way to Food Geez. Street parking is available, and there are residential streets nearby. The restaurant clearly used to be a bar in the 90s, but has been updated with booth and bar seating. The young man taking our order was new, so it took a little long to confirm our order and pay, but as a former foodservice employee, I know that he just needs more practice. We originally ordered our food to go, but decided to eat in. Food took a minute to come out, but when it did it was piping hot and so delicious. They let you choose your spice adventure, as each plate has a container of pepper sauce on it. Food was delicious and leftovers were

Stopped in here the other day on our way back to DC and was pleasantly surprised! The food was good overall. I had cassava, and the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Would definitely stop by again!

I came here for the first time Thursday after I viewed a few of the photo and saw they use palm oil! The Cassava Leafs are very delicious 😋! I love the red sauce it is delicious and a great addition for just enough spiciness without changing the flavor of the food. The side of goat is packed with flavor, my only critic it that it was too tough, so I baked it for an hour once I got home and it was perfect. I will be back went ever I’m in the area.
