Sankofa Kitchen International is a Ghanaian eatery in West Broward offering authentic West African cuisine. The establishment is kitchen-only, providing efficient takeout service where food is brought to your car. The menu features traditional dishes like Okra Stew with Banku and sorrel drink, both highly praised but some dishes could use more spices. Customers have praised the fast and reliable service, and many say the food makes them feel at home. The owner is very nice and patient, making the experience even better. Visitors often travel hours just to enjoy the delicious and decently priced meals, especially their Jollof rice with grilled tilapia, banku, and okro stew, which many consider the best in Florida. The Jollof is rich, smoky, and spiced just right, cooked in a well-seasoned tomato base with hints of bay leaf, ginger, and a gentle peppery kick that keeps every bite exciting. The fried ripe plantains are sweet and caramelized with soft centers, adding a perfect contrast to the spicy Jollof. The Ghana-style salad, a colorful mix of shredded lettuce, onions, carrots, and cabbage, often includes baked beans, boiled eggs, and a touch of mayonnaise, providing a fresh, creamy crunch that ties the meal together. The restaurant recently won a "Jollof" contest, highlighting the quality of their dishes. Customers also enjoy trying different foods like chicken pepper soup and fufu, often via delivery, and appreciate the kind staff who explain the menu and handle orders quickly. Highly recommended for those craving nostalgic flavors or wanting to discover West African cuisine.
