Great and convenient store. Only issue Is a policy of only paying cash if you spend less that 10 bucks. I thought it was weird. Overall great experience

You can find everything you need from Africa but it needs some windows and fresh air circulation. All the smell of smoked fish, smoked meat is very strong! For some reason once you open the door it violates your nostrils! 😂! But customer services is very friendly and cool. They know where every products are. Sometimes i get charged taxes sometimes i dont. Very spacious parking too.

Could do with better customer services in the meat section. I asked for the source of the meat and got a rude answer. I bought some meat though but the quality was a bit disappointing. Other products we Ok though

The space in the store is restricting, not enough room for people to move around in the aisles. However, I like the fact that a person can find food items that cannot be found in a regular supermarket.

Ive been coming here for years with no complaints.I bought chicken and Turkey from them on Saturday September 12th.Tried to cook it on Monday the 14th and they had both gone bad and were slimy.Went back to get a refund and the owner said they only sold fresh meat....even though my items had gone bad.Buyer beware!

I really used to like this place for all of the African staples they carried and the friendliness. However, I saw roaches inside of clear wrapped packages and on the shelving. The owner yelled at me and his employee for taking too long when I needed help.I dont know what happened over the last few years but the location is profitable for them and they take full advantage with their high prices.

I visited the store for the first time and bought smoked turkey which I discovered was spoilt after getting home. I took it back to the store the following day and showed it to the manager. At this time, the turkey had started to smell rotten despite the fact that I had put it in the oven to further dry. The manager gave several excuses, neither of which addressed the fact that he had sold spoiled poultry but instead said I was mistaken when the evidence of rotten turkey was right in front of him. Obviously, Im never going back there to buy anything and Im seriously considering filing a report with the USDA.

This place is ok to shop for African food items. But the smell is too bad in here. They should keep the door open during business hours for some ventilation. Not to mention the smell stay on your clothes even after you leave the store.. there is another African store behind the salvation army in Gaithersburg. Make a right turn by the salvation army up the hill then make a left then the second right. The new African store is right there. Cheaper than this one..

Review №29

Very clean, the aisles and prices are clearly marked and I havent noticed any expired items. They are usually quick on the cash register and will open additional lines if needed. However, the meat counter is not as efficient and your best bet is to place your order by phone at least 1 hr before you get there. Also, the shopping carts are the small ones to help go tru the aisles, but u cant put any kids in them.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Dont spend your money here. I went there for the first time and the market smells horrible. Prices are also unreasonably high. I went there for the first time and the manager argued with me about the price of a wash sponge! An employee tagged the wrong price on an item and they expected me to pay a different price due to their mistake. Horrible place. The International Warehouse is a better place. I dont suggest anyone shop here.
