Call us African Icons Restaurant!

In the past few months, we have been working on changing our name to African Icons Restaurant. It is fair to do so because we do not just sell African foods, we are here to promote African Culture and cuisine. Frankly speaking, Roger Milla, has inspired hundreds of soccer players across Africa and we want to recognize all of them.
We went from Casa Africana to Roger Miller Restaurant and now African Icons Restaurant. For nearly 40 years now, this place has always a place to enjoy the taste of Western African Cuisine without leaving the DMV.
We promise this will not change your experience: it is still the same place, with the same foods, under new management.
You will still see the other name and Logo until the change is fully complete.
We appreciate your support.
