The World Bar & Grill

I hate to write this type of review but it is very important. This restaurant served me raw fish. The beans were salty. This is the 3rd time I have ordered at this place for my family and there has been an issue. I have not said anything until now. I informed the restaurant and they were receptive however this is unacceptable.

Amazing food! We decided to drive from Portsmouth over to check this place out, 45mins later we were not disappointed. We ordered the oxtail, fried tilapia and beef stew with collard greens, spicy and white rice with fried plantains. The oxtail was sooo succulent, savory with amazing flavors. Fried tilapia had the most crunchy super light texture with an amazing flavor. You can’t go wrong with anything here. Yo top it off the bar tender was so kind and chill. Will be back for sure.

We’ve had nothing but great experiences at Gumaas all three times we’ve been so far. Amazing home-cooked food at a family-owner and operated restaurant!! Highly recommend trying this place out. We’ll be back for sure!

We had a DELICIOUS dinner here. I had the goat, spicy rice and collards. My gal had the beans, spicy rice and collards. Everything was delicious and authentic. The atmosphere is “real”, everyone was nice. Also, the owner, Maya (from Sudan), came out to ask how we were doing (as well as her family now and then). She told us her story and that was about as good as the food. Highly recommended (so much so I recommended to the hotel staff that they add it to their list of recommended restaurants).

Love the place. The employees and owners are great. The bartenders know how to take care of you. Gumaas curry chicken is literally the best meal I can find within 20 mile radius of my apartment. The Jerk Chicken is also completely amazing. All their options are great. My friends and I get gumaas at least 1-2 times a week. I’ve even got it 4 times in one week.
