Sumah’s is a popular yet off-the-beaten-path West African fare eatery that’s just moments from Hodge on 7th. Whether you’re already a fan of African cuisine or you’re craving something new, the fragrant rice and warming spices that fill Sumah’s menu will likely leave you feeling full and satisfied.

The menu includes traditional dishes like Jollof rice, pepper soup, and okra, as well as marinated and grilled chicken, beef, and lamb. There are also beloved dishes like peanut butter soup and tola that are a bit more difficult to find from similar eateries. Although the restaurant may not look like much from the outside, the inside of Sumah’s is relaxed and well-appointed, and its friendly employees are always happy to offer suggestions for new dishes. In fact, it’s not uncommon for the owners to sit down at your table for a bit of conversation after the meal is over!
