Papaye is a restaurant that offers authentic and delicious African cuisine. Customers have raved about the tender goat soup, flavorful light fish soup, and rich fufu. The food is described as very authentic, with the pepper being "legit" and not toned down for American tastes. The white rice with goat meat stew is good, with savory flavors and plantain adding a perfect touch. The small waakye is a perfect portion with great spiciness and meat texture. Vegetarian options include fried plantain, beans, Gari, spinach stew, yam, fried yam, and waakye. While the service can be unfriendly at times, with some staff appearing unappreciative or inattentive, others are nice and helpful. Parking is a challenge, but the overall consensus is that the food at Papaye is worth the effort. This "hole in the wall" establishment provides a genuine taste of African culinary traditions with a wide selection ranging from meats and stews to different starches.
