The Continent DC sits on Vermont Ave NW in Northwest Washington, describing itself as an "Oasis of Africa." Tony Ijaodola serves as executive chef, with Chaz Ogbu running the floor as general manager.
The menu leans on signature dishes like Beef Suya and Jumbo Tiger Shrimp, served in a space built to shift gears — upscale dining early, lounge and late-night energy later. The restaurant also opens up for private dining, with options that scale from small gatherings to full-venue buyouts.
Regulars describe it as a social hub with a family-friendly feel, and the room tends to fill up and get loud during peak hours.
