The food is amazing and very authentic. Sometimes, when I go there, I feel like the ladies that work there do not appreciate my contributions to the establishment. I'm always polite and never flirtatious.

I've been going to this restaurant for years. The previous people like Akos was always friendly. The restaurant never had a sense of urgency. They make you feel like they are doing you a favor. I just placed an order this evening and decided to call to remind them to send me my egg because they never do. The idiot that answered phone immediately greeted me and stated that I wrote too much concerning my order when I ordered through African Dish Out. I never spend less than $100 with these people and this dude had the audacity to make such a statement. I asked is this how you treat your customers by acting like a man with no manners? All I know is this is the last they will ever see my money... It's never that serious. Kwasiasem!!! Customer service training is seriously needed!!

This food hit all the spots that it needed to hit. I ordered the small waakye which was a perfect portion for me. The spiciness and meat texture was perfect.

There were two ladies that were serving. One was very nice and explained the ordering process to me as a first timer. The other one just looked angry. She actually walked away while I was talking to her ?. Hope she has better days.
I would order from here again but I won't be eating in.

Vegetarian options: Fried plantain, beans, Gari (arrowroot flakes), spinach stew, yam, fried yam, waakye (rice and beans)

The food here was really good...I had the goat soup and white rice and the goat was super tender and I love how they leave the fat on like my grandma used to, the food here is very authentic. It makes the broth sooo rich. I will be going back anytime I come back to New York again

Parking: It is impossible to park. You will have to find it where you can. I parked over 2 blocks away. But it's worth it.

I wish i can give zero star. Their food is so horrible and i cant believe the person who cooked it a ghanaian. After 5 days i’m still struggling with stomach flu. You call this fried rice.

Food is good but service is horrible. The bleached skin lady trying to be light skin with her mean looking face should not be there serving people. She should be in the kitchen doing dishes.

So, so good. Feels like being in west Africa again. I lived in Gabon and had a friend from Togo who cooked liked this. I am in paradise here.

The name papaye is known for their fried rice as most Ghanaians know it however, this location’s fried rice is nothing close to what it is . Rice is hard with lot of Maggie cube. It’s basically tasteless .

The food is not as tasty as I expected plus they give you a little bit of food for a bunch of money. Not worth it. Go to a Chinese buffet. You'll get more food and more variety for your bucks.
