Bukom Cafe offers an authentic Ghanaian dining experience, serving delicious traditional dishes such as Red-Red with fried plantain and fried fish, Kenkey with fried fish and hot sauce, stewed beef, Nkatenkwan, and EGUSI with exceptional goat meat. The restaurant has a homey atmosphere that makes it feel like a village in Ghana. Although the space is a bit dark and resembles a bar with a few tables, it provides a warm environment complemented by friendly and knowledgeable service.
The cafe often features live music, enhancing the dining experience. While the service can be spotty due to being understaffed, the staff is always nice and attentive. Bukom Cafe is known for its great food, which is rich in spice, and has a variety of soups, stews, and other customary West African dishes. For newcomers, trying the EGUSI soup is highly recommended. Happy hour drinks are available even past 8 pm on Tuesdays, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the night. Overall, Bukom Cafe is a lovely place for those seeking a taste of Ghanaian culture and cuisine.
