I brought my daughter here to taste African food for the first time in celebration of black history month. We were specifically looking for west African food since her ancestry is mostly Nigerian. I got the grilled chicken plate and she got the lamb. I was pleasantly surprised at the low prices. Everything was hot and tasty. Service was friendly and fast. I would definitely recommend this place.
Oh goodness, Akwaba Restaurant was definitely a great experience every single time I came! The food, the atmosphere, the hospitality — everything made me feel a little closer to the Motherland. ❤
You can truly taste the culture and love in the food, and the prices are UNBEATABLE for the quality and portions you get. It’s hard to find a place that gives you great food, a great experience, and affordable prices all in one.

Came in with my wife and son and everything was amazing and reasonably priced! For sure going to be coming back! Would have taken pictures of the food but it was too good and I forgot to take a picture
