What people say
Loved in Fredericksburg.
“I tried Ado-Lay African Cuisine this weekend and got the Friday special, oxtail with jollof rice. I'll be back for some stew and pounded yam. This is about to be my new local spot.”
“Ado-Lay!! What can I say! 10/10 the food was absolutely delicious, it did not disappoint. We had the jollof rice with goat meat and egusi stew with goat meat and pounded yam. When I say the food was so gooooddddd. Will definitely be back.”
“This food is a 10/10!!! Omgggg soooo amazing!!! You will experience a little wait because they cook to order but TRUST ME ITS WORTH THE WAIT!! This was the best fufu I have EVER had!”
“Absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the egusi with fish and pounded yam, and it was one of the most comforting meals I've had in a long time. The egusi was rich, deeply savory, and incredibly satisfying. The fish had a wonderful smoky flavor, the portion sizes were enough that I had enough for left overs.”
“I ordered the Fried Snapper with Jollof Rice....and let me tell you...the fish was cooked PERFECTLY! It had soooo much flavor. It was crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside.”
“My wife and I stopped by here had great great customer service. The food came very fast and tasted very authentic. I sincerely recommend if you're looking for a great traditional African cuisine you try Ado-lay”
“this place was fantastic! Our group got 2 orders of the egusi soup and 1 order of gollof rice with fish. The food was a bit pricy but it was all very good and the portions justify it. The place was clean, the workers were nice, and they have a good selection of drinks. Will be coming again!”
