This was a good experience from start to finish. I'm so glad that my first exposure to Ghanaian food was with Chef Eric Adjepong. As always my first time somewhere, I order a lot. I arrived some short time after Chef Eric introduced a prix fixe menu with standout choices. Not on my radar, but highly recommended by my server and the table leaving as I was seated, was the Zaalouk Dip featuring eggplant and goat cheese served with flatbread. Somehow the cheese brightened this dish....read full review
Wow...what an amazing experience my friend and I had here! We've been raving about it to everyone. Everything we tried was great; from the Seafood Jollof Pot that was so divine, and the best I've ever had: to the Suya Beef, every bite was thoroughly enjoyed and savored. I will definitely return.
Excellent restaurant. The food was great and I even had the chance to meet the Exec Chef. The only thing I had a problem with was the delay in seating. I made reservation at 7:45, but didn't get seated until 8:15. Work on that and you'll be my Number 1 restaurant.

The atmosphere is inviting, making diners want to linger longer. Cocktails are complex and well-balanced, with the hibiscus mocktail receiving particular praise. The service is exceptional, and Chef Eric’s personal touch adds to the fine dining experience. Desserts like pudding cake and Bofrot are also highlights.
