“I’m not sure I can explain the delight I had dining here but I’ll do my best.

It was an absolute joy being able to eat what chef Micheal cooked up for us. Walking In, the establishment is actually in a good hall with other restaurants so you’ll want to head to the back left most stall. Chef Micheal was happy to explain his menu, dole out recommendations, and listen to preferences with food which is a level of service you don’t see honestly almost anywhere these days. We took a seat and waited a just a bit and the food was brought out. Per Micheal’s recommendation and it being our intro to Ghanaian food, we got Jollof rice with chicken, Egusi, peanut butter soup with chicken and fufu, an extra side of plantains and a ginger juice.

The ginger juice (coming from someone who lives a strong ginger juice) was lovely. Very punchy, fresh, and hits you right in the back of the throat. Jollof rice with chicken was excellent. The chicken fell off the bone which was great. It was moist and a little bite of rice, chicken, and plantain all mixed together was perfectly balanced. Egusi was also great, the greens were tender and the meat was a nice textural contrast to the greens. Personally I liked the peanut butter soup and fufu the best. The texture of the fufu was light and springy and perfect which was amazing paired with the soup and chicken.

I truly did not have a disappointing bite here and I am happy to recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good meal. It was a treat to visit and I am looking foreword to my next visit.“

“Just in case I missed the stars 5 for me!“

“One of the best places to eat in Metuchen nj. The food and service is excellent I have travelled from NYC many times just to eat there.

Kid-friendliness: The people working in there are very nice and patient with the kids and many times bring extra things for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and door for the Resturant and bathroom are big enough for handicap people.“

“Ordered the Efo Elegusi soup with fufu—#7 on the menu—and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the protein was cooked perfectly. The fufu was smooth and paired beautifully with the soup. Even though I got takeout, everything was packed neatly and stayed hot and fresh. You can really taste the care put into the food. Definitely planning to come back to try more!“
