The attitude, the atmosphere, I can't really speak to the food as I immediately lost my appetite from the shockingly rude service....

First time trying egusi soup and fufu, it was amazing. Very generous portion, and authentic, fresh ingredients for a great price. And the owner is so sweet. I will be back very soon!

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.

Absolutely delicious! The Waakye rice was full of flavor and well prepared. The staff and manager were incredibly warm and welcoming; it felt like I was visiting family. Can’t wait to go back!

First time trying out West African food and Michael was very courteous and very uplifting. The jollof rice was absolutely amazing and the egg rolls were tasty too. Absolutely coming back again. You get a hearty portion for a great price!

*NOTE: If you are entering from the front, there will be other restaurants around you. His is all the way near the back entrance and you'll need cash as well!
