“Good authentic Ghanaian foods. We enjoyed all the food. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is spectacular. My children and my husband all enjoyed being at the restaurant.
The owner and her daughter were very nice and attentive to all are needs. Thank you. Do not hesitate to go there and enjoy some great food.“

“The food is amazing and you can taste the culture. Restaurant space is also very clean and the staff where all kind and welcoming. I highly recommend👌🏿“

“Yopcity has great service and an amazing atmosphere. The food is top tier, real Ivorian cuisine with the authentic taste of the motherland. The service was excellent, I was served by a lady called Madina if I’m not mistaken. Great lady tbh.“

“Food is very flavorful and spicy enough to satisfy my spicy cravings. Portions for the amount of money definitely doesn't match, very cheap with the meat especially. The Uber menu doesn't seem to show all that they serve in restaurant as per coworker.“

“Absolutely love this place! We really needed something like this where you can order from different restaurants all in one spot. My food was perfectly packed, incredibly delicious, and super fast. I’m so glad one opened nearby. I used to go to the one near my job on 23rd Street, so this is super convenient!“

“the restaurant says (poster outside) it accepts EBT card and also when we asked the staffs they said the same too. but when we ordered the food the staff said they dont accept EBT card, they only accept cash. Liar“

“We stumbled on this place your local home-cooked. The food is great. They just need to get more organized. We came there with friends raving about the food place our orders and they came back stating they ran out. We had to wait. It was late on a Saturday. If you’re going there go early before they run out of food.“

“I came here around a decade ago. They did not have a buffet back then, as many of the reviews here state. I remember liking this food. The restaurant was empty when it was new, mostly because the neighborhood folks couldn't afford restaurant food. But I noticed a large staff, which gave me the impression of whoever opened this spot, did it with love.

I'm Latin X of Caribbean Colombian and Coastal Ecuadorian decent. I came here to say, many Colombians would be shocked to find what Colombians believed were their cultural foods, right here in a West African restaurant. I remember seeing a whole wall stacked with just bunuelos, Colombian style. When I asked, oh you guys sell Colombian food too? They all looked at me like I was crazy, even though I was standing right next to the bunuelos, slowly realizing, the bunuelo isn't Colombian, it is actually West African as they told me it was their nationality's bread. I just can't remember if they said that bread originated in Uganda or Angola.

I have recently moved back to NYC. I think I will return to this place and find out. Fellow Colombians, come and check this place out. Find out where your grandparent's cooking magic originated from. Wepa!“

“It’s hard to get the Ghanaian taste when you’re far away so My good friend sent me here and I’m forever grateful, great food , tasty sauces, Ghana food joint atmosphere, Nana, you for pass through, I’ll always pass by when I’m in NY…..Oh , they even have Sobolo ✌?“

“Excellent service. Extremely delicious authentic Nigerian cuisine. Great at accommodating large parties and catering. 5 stars!“

“After a long walk from the train, up and down Morrisania's hills, this Bronx West African joint is the light at the end of the tunnel. Each dish is served simply, but somehow magically. Along with the friendliness and enjoyment of sharing the space with all the other customers, the experience is enough to call it one of the top restaurants in the borough.“

“🍽️ Papaye – A Bronx staple that never misses on flavor.

I’ve been coming to Papaye for years—since living in the Bronx—and it’s truly a household name in the community. The food has always held it down, especially the kebabs, which are still one of my go-to orders whenever I’m back in the city.

The service has improved over time, but there’s still room for more warmth and enthusiasm. That extra effort would elevate the customer experience, but it seems like they know their food speaks for itself—and honestly, it does.

Flavors are solid, portions are generous, and it’s one of those spots that stays real to its roots. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.“

“My friend and I came after 10 on a Saturday. It said here that it closes at 11 so we thought we'd be good. But when we got there chairs were up and etc. They still accommodated with rice and chicken even tho he wanted something more exotic. The boys working there were kind of annoyed but they provided and we ate quick and left. I have to try to be there earlier next time“

“So glad the restaurant I was going to down the street was closed or I wouldn’t have found this place 😍 amazing customer service & the food is so so delicious . I ordered banku & okra stew. I wasn’t familiar with the menu and the man in the front was very helpful. I’ll be back whenever I’m in the Bronx .“

“No menu, but the restaurant workers were patient and detailed! Although Having a menu would have assisted non traditional customers like myself with the ordering style and limit question.

I order beef and jollof, and The manager told me to go sit down! The meal was everything and more, and the service and staff are patient with the non traditional patrons ❤“

“When I tell y’all Tessey’s International Kitchen food is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Listen, the food reminded me of home it was so good. Baby if you ever in the Bronx please hit them up.“

“Luckily for me, I met the original mama.G owner back on white plains road when she was e216th by gun hill road in 2015 When I came here she greeted me with nothing but love and the staff was very welcoming ,this visit at the new location had an older woman and also treated me as if I was her grandchild serving me jollof rice,rice and peas,spaghetti with gari black eyed peas ,pepper sauce fresh tomato,onion with plantain and it's absolutely delicious every time cooked with love ❤️“
