Having previously lived in Ghana, I can confidently say that this restaurant is a true delight. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly friendly, and there was an ambiance that beautifully evoked memories of Ghana. I'm so glad I decided to check this place out. The kelewele (spicy fried plantains) was delightful, and my fufu paired perfectly with a flavorful pepper soup. Even the bits of goat meat transported me back to the chop bars of Ghana. And don't miss out on the sobolo—you definitely won't regret trying it!

Food is good, but customer service is terrible. I originally gave them 5 star, but I am changing it. When you call them to confirm an order you place online, the guy I spoke to didn't even ask for my name, order number or when the food will be ready. All he kept saying was okay and was completely rude on the phone. I like their food so I will keep buying from there, but don't expect anything good from their customer service because they have zero customer service skills .
They really need to improve their customer service. The staff member we encountered always seemed to have a bit of an attitude. We waited around 20 minutes for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was cold! This was the first time I've experienced this. However, the food itself is quite good.
The service was really disappointing. They told me to take my food and eat in the car because they needed to clean up and close at 7:30, even though their official closing time is 8:00. I was frustrated since we drove over an hour to try this African restaurant. It was not a nice experience. Book a table now
I was really disappointed with my meal. This is what my plate looked like after I removed the food from the greasy takeout container. The plantains were even worse, and the goat meat consisted of three small, dry pieces that were tough to chew. Overall, I was very let down.
The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly. I ordered waakye, omo tuo, banku with okra, ampesi, kelewele, and a meat pie. I’ve tried the waakye and meat pie, and I have to say they were delicious!
Inedible. The oxtail was tough and dry, and it was so spicy that it was impossible to eat! The rice was also dry and hard. It was disgusting! I recommend ordering from somewhere else - total waste of money!
The food was excellent and delicious! I enjoyed the spinach stew with fufu. However, they need to improve their customer service; the person behind the counter seemed like he didn’t want to be bothered. Book a table now
The jollof rice at this restaurant is exceptional—it's the best West African food I've enjoyed outside of the region. I'm excited to sample more dishes!
Ordered on grub hub forgot most of my order. Food was cold and disgusting. Would not recommend.
