Customer Reviews

★★★★★ 5.0 Tiffani Brown · May 2022

The food and the customer service were both extremely well. The food was fresh and hot, and the owner Aku and Edem were both very helpful, friendly, and patient as I was trying to figure out what to order. I would highly recommend anyone in the Philly area to come to this genuine Ghanaian Restaraunt. Aku even signed my box I felt even more special! 5 stars ⭐️!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Best in Variety Activewear · Nov 2025

★★★★★ 5.0 Trix Mensah · Nov 2022

Aku is amazing. FYI: Takeout place only and you have to call ahead of time. We didn't know that but she didn't turn us away. She took care of 5 hungry people with delicious food! Love her, love service and her food!

Called in ahead with my order, which was ready when I arrived. Ordered kelewele (fried spicy ripe plantain), waakye (cooked rice and beans) with goat meat and all the trimming Food came with a boiled egg and a side of pepper sauce. Tasty food, good service and a cozy atmosphere in this Ghanaian restaurant. Does not accept cash. Only Zelle and Cashapp Was worth the 45 minute drive.

★★★★★ 5.0 Paule Valery Joseph · May 2015

My boyfriend introduced me to Aku's kitchen and I must say I have been addicted to her food since. The food is delicious. The place is great very clean. The service is spectacular. Aku's smile is always welcoming as well as the staff. Best Ghanian food is West Philadelphia- a true hidden gem. Too bad she is only open on weekends.
