Oxtail and Bone-in Goat Meat Pepper Soup (Ragout)

My husband and I decided to come to Ashling Kitchen & Bar and it did not disappoint! We heard about the restaurant on the Next Door app. When we arrived, we were greeted by a nice hostess, and even though we did not have a reservation, she was able to seat us. The place is small, however, it has a nice cozy feel. The place has a nice size bar, seating and private dining for events (where we ate). Our waiter came by and gave us two menus (one with the American food) and a West African menu. A smile came over my face as I saw the Oxtail and Bone-In Goat Meat Pepper Soup. I love both oxtail and goat, and with the combination, I became very excited! Once the food came, my taste buds exploded as my mouth tasted the tender oxtail and goat meat. And the sauce was heavenly! The chef took his time in cooking this meal. It was as if he went back to West Africa and brought it back just for me. Lastly, I ordered the key lime pie and blueberry sorbet and drizzle glaze. The waiter recommended on putting both on my spoon before tasting and another mouthwatering explosion happened again! Ashling Kitchen & Bar was winning again! Forgot to mention, I took pictures of my food and sent them to my family and even they wanted to be in my seat during that time, so Ashling Kitchen & Bar you have more people from my side coming soon! Thank you for the ambiance, service, food and dessert! It was a great experience! I am glad to see such a diverse type of food representing in the Crofton/Bowie area!! Keep it up! We will be back! Thank you again! Rahnesha Mitchell
