Calbra Classics, Bowie

Thanks to the chefs of Calbra Classics, savoring authentic Nigerian and West African cuisine doesn't require a trip to any restaurant. That's because they specialize in catering and personal-chef services. Clients range from West-African families looking for the home-cooked classics they grew up with to diners wholly unfamiliar with the region's piquant, savory cuisine. Because Calbra's entrees inspire so many clients to make their own dishes at home, the chefs have even begun to offer Nigerian cooking classes, which they can tailor to teens, couples, or home cooks.
