What an experience…. I just move to Va and it was my First time here. As I walked to the front desk no one acknowledged me not even a help, how can I help you. They kept up their conversation with the friend standing near by. Then went to the back like I was never standing there. I was so confused. Mind you I placed and online order for pickup that said it would be ready by 7:55pm I got there by 8:27pm. At this point I’ve stood there with no one acknowledging my presence for about 7 to 8minutes. I Finally noticed they had a bell to ring and I rang it . No on comes out. I rang it again and again. 5 more minutes goes by before she comes out. At this point am furious and asking about my order. She said she hasn’t seen one come through and that it was almost closing time. Goes to the back come out 15min later with someone else order and another girl comes out with oil splash all over her shirt and finally helps me. But of course that took another 20 for me to actually get my food. No apologies, no customer service, no empathy or sympathy. For an order that I was supposed to pick at 7:55pm I finally got it at 9 something and not one person offered me an apology or a seat while I wait. Every other customer in there looked like oh yeah this is their usual attitude. Horrible service and I have no appetite to even try the food at this point. All the excitement and joy I had left my body before I left that place. Never Going back there again. Sorry but do better.

The food was very good and delicious. The customer service was also top tier, the music set the African theme. Everything about this place was authentic I definitely recommend.

Best Ghanaian restaurant in the DMV! The best part is that it serves TZ, which all other Ghanaian restaurants don't have. I also like the Ghanaian Highlife music in the background, which makes me feel like I am in Ghana again.

This is the first time I've come here. I've grown up with African food. I could not wait to come here and when I got here the service was horrible. I felt ignored and unwanted. I seen customers that wait for many, many hours. Maybe 1 hour maybe 30 minutes when they've already ordered just theirs. I have asked her to put spinach in my suit. She gave me an attitude I called before I came and asked them if they had Ghari. They said yes when I got there. They said they never served it. I was disappointed with them. The food is good. I like it. It's hot fresh. But I will never come here again because of customer service sucks.

This is the best West African food I’ve had outside of West Africa. The okra stew, gist and fish was on point. Banku also excellent.Delivery took a while, though.

The place is dirty and gross. After a terrible experience, I was invited by my coworker and I didn't want to decline the invitation. The bathroom will make you throw up ( see attached pictures ). The restaurant needs a deep cleaning- there is dust in every corner of the restaurant . The floor needs to be mopped.. The staff needs clean outfits- they are dirty. Walking in a flip flop with no socks

The food was average but the service was terrible. There were kids playing inside the restaurant. They were loud. The servers look like they needed some self care and some hygienes lessons.. some people were on the phone and loud inside the restaurant . It was an horrible experience. I drove 2 hours to try that place. I’ve never been that disappointed in my life. It doesn’t look professional at all

The food is amazing and very good for your money. They serve in large portions.The tuo zaafi is great, the banku with tilapia (very well seasoned and grilled). The jollof is great even my Nigerian friends agreed Ghana jollof has won this round.The koko and burkina are also great especially with the groundnut.I really enjoyed the food and I plan on returning soon.Dietary restrictions: Halal

VERY DECEPTIVE PRICING!!Prices for meals posted online and in store are entirely different, and $5 higher what you actually pay!! Customer service is extremely bad, broken bathroom and the restaurant as a whole is very dirty.

I couldnt eat my food after my find found a roach in his food. Never eating here again. It says a lot about your establishment when things like this happen. Disgusting.
