Nice place, but the staff need lot of training, in as much as I know the club need to make money, tagging a table a minimum$500 buy is crazy, guest should be allowed to buy their drinks freely, the ladies are not hostile to guest, lack a lot curstey..... everything with an African spine is always a problem, they staff thinks guest must spend high and you get the jist, big spender steal the night

This place is lit at Night. If u looking at outdoor lounge with good afrobeat, airy and beautiful youngsters ladies. Thats the place to spend a few bucks and relax. Had a nice grilled tilapia with fried plantain with pepper sauce. Park across street at shopping center due to limited parking on their facility. Its full of life. Suya is also available. Nice looking lady servers, well behaved and professional! Not a lot of food option but plenty to drink. Price is ok and affordable.

Over priced drinks! A shot is 14.99 aprox 15 dollars and the cup I had was only half full and my husband had a baby cup which was priced the same amount.. no way I would go back due to that.

I ordered using Uber Eats. I had to wait over 30 minutes for my food to arrive and it was cold but it taste good. The food, that is the fried rice had pieces of foil in it. Don’t think I’ll be reordering.

Review №22

Small venue but excellent food. I attended on a Tuesday so the crowd was non existent but from the feel of the environment you can tell its a fan favorite towards the end of the week and during the weekend. Worth the price of admission (Free) to check it out

Review №23

Good food but very spicy vegetable fried rice. The pepper in the rice was too much that all 4 of us who had it had running stomach the next day from the pepper. Some of the cocktails from the drink menu were not available. Service was good. Our main problem was the spicy rice. I believe food serve in a restaurant should not have that much pepper in it. Its better to be very mild so anyone who needs extra pepper can add it to their individual plates. I will come again and hope the food will not be as spicy as yesterdays.I hope a change will be made.Thanks.

Review №26

For a first experience, I wasnt impressed at all with the service. The orders were taken over 20min after we were directed to our seats, drinks came after what seemed to be an eternity and food arrived even later than that. Keep in mind few tables were occupied and their menu is pretty standard. Our waitress didnt bother to check on us during the entire time we had dinner. The music was loud and you could barely hear yourself think or carry a conversation.

Very laid back restaurant during the day; with great customer service and a nice selection of dishes. During the evening it gets crowded with dope Afro beats, drinks and food. Very small space so I recommend coming early.Overall a great spot for happy hour as well as a night out.

Spectrum Lounge is an African restaurant & lounge. Super cool and professional owners and employees. The food (Susa) is amazing. Get here early to enjoy the beautiful ambiance, music, food and great service. After 11pm, the place is pack with partying night owls. First l time I can here, we got here after 12pm... #packed. I’m here for the food and music... I come around 6pm.

Best suya, immeasurable ambiance, excellent customer service, a fun filled and respectful atmosphere to have a great time with friends and associates.The owners (Holmes and Asong) are hands on and humble. They serve, they listen, and are quick to take corrective action on any concerns with the goal of making customers happy.Highly recommended.

Review №53

Unfortunately, I had a TERRIBLE experience during my first visit ever to this place and I would never visit again. I was driving by last month and saw a sign out front that read, Best Suya in the DMV, and being a suya-lover myself, I decided to try out their suya yesterday. Normally, I would go to my favorite suya spot at 4300 Howard road Beltsville to get my suya (they sell very good suya and well-packed for the price) but yesterday I decided to try out the suya at this place. I walked into the place and asked for a plate. They lady tells me $12 but the price is actually $10. I bring out $20 cash to pay for the suya and this light-skinned lady tells me she did not have change (a Nigerian seller trick common in Nigeria where the seller lies to the customer that they dont have change in order to coerce the customer into forfeiting their change to the seller, and thus more money to the seller), and I started to get livid that this same mentality was being displayed in America. How can you be in business and claim you dont have change and make no efforts whatsoever to try to give your customers change. Ok, I decided to pay with my debit card, which I handed over to her and she swiped and upon looking at my receipt, I noticed that she charged me extra $5 for fried plantains which I never authorized and also included a 10% tip which I never authorized. I asked her to explain the charges and she offered to get me fried plantains instead which I never asked for. I got more livid. I requested that she refund me the difference and she claimed she could not refund the money back to my debit card as it already went through. I was like, which merchant service in America is unable to refund money if need be? Do you guys think you are in Nigeria where stealing and cheating are rampant? I was totally disappointed at the level of trickery and deceit openly displayed at their customers, especially being my first time there and I had a bitter experience. We love to complain about how bad our country and how we want change but fail to realize that the change we need starts from us. I suddenly lost appetite for the Suya, which by the way was half the amount I would get at my favorite spot at Howard road and insisted on a full refund and she lied again that she had no way of refunding my money and she did not have change. Upon insisting on my full refund, this lady who previously lied to me that she did not have cash change finally brings out cash and refunds me in full. Such daylight stealing! Customers please BEWARE of this place and always check your receipts if you pay with a card (for unauthorized charges to your card). Non African customers, beware of the I dont have change trickery as it is a lie and a ploy to get you to forfeit your hard-earned money. Always insist on getting your change in full.

This Place #spectrumlounge is the definition of Class! Best African & Mix spot for events, birthday celebrations etc. in the DMV area hands down. If your visiting from out of state, do your self a favor and visit Spectrum. Best Suya & after party destination. Most clubs/lounges have VIP sections, spectrum has a whole separate VIP club upstairs!Was particularly impressed with its customer service!!Thank You.Houston, TX appreciates!!

Went for suya, which was nice. The bartenders attitude was trash and I guess it’s because gratuity was included. She was just rude and other people complained . Management needs to take care of whoever that girl is Tuesday night.

I have been here a few times and I love the atmosphere! The owner and staff are extremely nice. The food is delicious. It may be time for a bigger venue because its always a full house.My only complaint; the last time i was there it seemed that the DJ had some sort of CD on repeat because the same mix of like 6 song played over and over, occasionally skipping one or two, which just became annoying. get it together DJ. other than that, great spot. I highly recommend! Try the suya!!!

Thanks to Spectrum Lounge I have lost 2 teeth from trying to chew their soya. Before you buy their suya, make sure you have Iron teeth or else your teeth will come out one by each and fall.Also I can’t believe they refer to their suya as the BEST IN THE DMV. Okay! Anything to attract customers I guess. The suya does not havE Maggi. It’s very Bland! and I was given sour pepper.

Came for a friends birthday late November and we had a blast here. Great location, great service, reasonably priced food and drinks. Talked to the owner, Valéry, great guy. When you come for the first time, find him and let him know and the guy takes care of you.Side note hot tip: come early so you can get a seat.

Everything was good the Suya included. Only problem is the table we reserved was next to three other tables so there is no space whatsoever. Also the bathroom only has one toilet, never seen men wait in line for the bathroom.

Service and food was decent, but 1 waitress was very rude and unprofessional. She took forever to get our condiments and napkins when we asked for them, but when it was time to sign the check, she had the time to literally stand in front of me and watch me as I looked over the receipt and added a tip and signed it. It was the RUDEST thing I ever experienced in a restaurant. It was like she was trying to intimidate me to give her a tip or she thought I was gonna run off and not sign the receipt, but they had already took and charged my card!!! I will NEVER go back here. I have never experienced anything so UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE in any business!!!

Review №91

Service is poor, I went there 3 times hoping there will be some improvements after speaking with management but the issues are still the same. Each time I went there I had to wait 30 min to be welcomed amd acknowledged. And there were not busy times at all.The servers dont come and help you unless you are a regular and they know you, and they always seems in a bad mood and nonchalant. But as soon as the boss walks in, the dynamic changes.They also need to implement a dresscode, shorts for men should be banned, they were advertising upscale, this is not it.Anywho they lost a potential regular client.The suya and the wings are good though, drinks are big in size too, those are the only few good things

I’ve been to different lounges in the DMV area, but Spectrum Lounge is by far the most spectacular. The place is beautiful,food is sumptuous , customer service is perfect, DJ does a great job at keeping the crowd entertained. I’ve been there twice and can’t wait to visit again. If you in the DMV area and want to catch fun, visit spectrum lounge.
