Prime Restaurant, located at 5126 Baltimore Ave in Hyattsville, MD, stands out as a celebrated destination for African cuisine. Patrons have continually praised the flavorful and spicy dishes, with highlights including the beautifully grilled fish and savory cassava leaves. Notably, guest 'Black Dollar' raved about the grilled tilapia, noting it was "worth the money" and quickly became a favorite.

The ambiance within Prime is vibrant and inviting, which enhances the dining experience. Customers report a spacious interior complemented by swift service, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere where diners can relax and savor their meals. Regulars like Amivi Amega emphasize consistent quality, particularly enjoying the suya and the exceptional service provided by staff members like Wally.

On weekends, the restaurant transforms into a lively club, attracting a diverse crowd and making it a popular spot for dinner and entertainment. However, visitors should be mindful of the limited parking, often needing to seek street parking nearby—a small inconvenience compared to the culinary delights that await inside.

In summary, Prime Restaurant is a gem in the DMV area, worth a visit for its authentic flavors and warm customer service. As someone who enjoys trying new dishes, I can't wait to return and explore more of their exquisite offerings!

The food is very delicious and spicy! Parking space is limited. You would have to part on the street. It's very spacious inside as well.

The food will definitely make you want to come back. I love this African restaurant, and on the weekends and night time it doubles up as a club too.

Great size fish, beautifully grilled and packed with flavor. That fish was worth the money. I had to start off with that because man, that fish was delicious. Now let’s start the review: There is no street parking for this restaurant so I had to park a block away and then walk(bummer). Thats the only bad thing I can say about this restaurant though. Upon entry, I was soaked in a vibrant ambience. I looked around amazed at the decor like a kid in a toy store. I finally got to counter and ordered “Grilled Tilapia(No Plantains), & Cassava Leaf w/Goat Meat”. I received my order within 10mins. That is quick food service if you ask me. I took it home and then got down to business. Once again, I ate that fish and wish it was never ending. I never had cassava leaf before so it was an exciting new experience. It was very oily but that was expected from me doing prior research. Once I drained a lot of the oil out, the flavors I tasted were undeniably good. That is something worth trying again if it wasn’t for the oil. All in all 10/10 , would recommend ! Follow my IG @Blackdollar007

Prime Restaurant is a gem! The food was incredible, with fresh flavors that stood out, and the service was super friendly and quick. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu—it’s definitely worth it!

we came here to eat & guess what we did ? we ATE & ordered extras to go (didn’t last long , we was eating on it before we even left). we were so skeptical because the reviews & the way the food was broadcasted but when i tell youuuu, this real deal GOOD FOOD. when i seen the “rude” reviews, i chuckled a bit because, as an african myself, yk they just coming to do they thing & make your tummy full. 10/10 food, 10/10 customer service!! the food came out in 20 minutes tops (for 3 plates of different foods) i recommend the suya, the tilapia, the fufu & egusi & the plantain! i left some pictures but as you can see we was already eating on it before we got some pictures lol. 10/10 !!

The food is always fresh and good. I wish the servings were a little bigger i.e cassava. My favorite is the goat stew, and grilled tilapia.
