Tempoo Restaurant and Lounge

My wife and I stumbled across Tempoo from a flier we saw in instagram promoting a birthday party. Her and I decided to stop in to check it out before hand. Let me just say this, the bartender Hillary was hands down the best bartender and person we have encountered in the DMV area. She was so attentive and welcoming. (She was working the whole place by herself and she held it down) from bar to the floor she didn’t miss a beat. You can tell she runs the show there and everyone respects her. The way she interacts with the people was amazing and I just couldn’t believe how she managed.

Coming from NY, good African food has been hard to find. The food here tastes much more authentic and delicious with the right amount of kick. The staff is very hospitable and the food didn’t take long. Overall, I had a pleasant experience dining in for a quick bite.

My favorite African cuisine in the DMV!! My sister put me on to this spot and i’ve never had anything else in years. The food is authentic and amazing quality. The owner, TJ is extremely kind and accommodating and manages the place so well. I haven’t been to the lounge late night but it seems lots of fun !

Mouth-Watering FISH Meal! After leaving an event with zero good food options, my husband and I found Tempoo Restaurant (open ‘til 3am!)—and wow, it was a blessing! That Whole Red Snapper dinner with plantains, rice, and veggies was absolutely amazing. The flavors were unreal, and the customer service from TJ and his team was top-tier. I travel for food, and this was hands down the best red snapper meal I’ve ever had. Don’t walk—RUN to get your good eats! You won’t be disappointed. #TheChurchLady
