What People Are Saying About Ma Musus West African Cuisine

The Scene – Plantains serve as deal makers and breakers at Richmond's first West African restaurant--they're a unique twist to the city's typical lunchtime fare. A colorful Liberian wall mural, African printed fabrics, candles and bits of sculpture set the mood for casual dining. Hit the restaurant at night for once-a-month live music. One caveat: understaffing presents a problem. – – The Food – Owner/chef Ida Daniels brings a rich cultural cooking heritage from her native Liberia. Vegetable gumbo, jerk salmon cakes or chicken, smoked turkey, spicy collards,…

This small restaurant serves up some great food. I have only been disappointed once when I asked to add some spice to my fish. I was given a peppery paste (i figured it would be really hot) that I stuck my fork in and lightly rubbed over my fish. Can u say 4 alarm blaze???!!! I'm not sure what kind of peppers they were ..maybe scotch bonnets (definitely hotter than jalepenos). It was so bad I couldn't eat the rest of my food. But that was my fault for asking for some spice. Other than that ..the food was great. They have a good day variety on the buffet with vegetables, curry/jerk chicken, plaintains, corn bread, ox tails....all yummy. I don't like the fact that you pay by weight of the food...but that does help your eyes from getting bigger than your stomach and your pocket.
- Pros: ummmm its basically all good
- Cons: pay by weight
