Café Mawonaj is a culinary and cultural oasis
located in Washington, D.C.'s famed Shaw
neighborhood. Specializing in Pan-African,
Caribbean, and Soul Food delights, Café
Mawonaj offers a menu that will make your
mouth water. In keeping with the definition
of Mawonaj- "resisting oppression", dishes
bear the names of such historic figures as
Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King,
Lumumba, and Nelson Mandela. There is
something to satisfy every palate, including a
variety of vegetarian and vegan specialities.
Just as flavorful as the food is the ambiance
of this vibrant space. Luscious red, orange,
and yellow tones set the mood. Your eyes
will delight in the exquisite paintings and
carvings, while your ears are tantalized by
lively music.
In addition to the great food and atmosphere,
Café Mawonaj patrons enjoy a variety of
positive, uplifting social events. Live
performances, poetry open mic, and
