Akwaba Restaurant

We had an amazing experience ordering takeout from this African restaurant! We ordered the Tchep, puff puff, and egusi with beef, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, and the portions were generous. It wasn’t very spicy, but the taste was still fantastic and well balanced. They even delivered to our hotel in downtown Denver, which made everything so convenient. Great food and great service, we highly recommend and would definitely order again!

I went when it was empty and found two people in the back. I asked if they were open and one looked at me and tapped the other person but the other person ignored me. I stood around waiting and a lady came out without saying anything and shoved a menu my way. I sat myself since I wasn’t told where to sit. I waited a long time for someone to come to the table. When he came to the table I felt like I was inconveniencing them. I placed my order and it took him so long to bring a glass of water. I felt so uncomfortable being there with the way the server was making me feel like I shouldn’t be there. When my food came out the meat was so hard I couldn’t cut or bite it. The soup was tasty but the meat was inedible. The spices at the table were so sticky in got stuff on my hands after touching

The food was great! I tried the peanut butter soup and okra soup, both were flavorful and comforting. The service was great too! The gentleman upon entry took time to explain dishes from different African countries, which really helped me decide. If I’m ever in Colorado again I’ll definitely revisit!

First time customer, very recommend this restaurant fasho , nice clean environment with great taste in music and food , very welcoming , they allow tasters before ordering full meal which is what I did so definitely recommend pick tasting before making a full order if first time purchase.

I took my girlfriend to try African food for the first time together, this place is absolutely the right choice. My girlfriend got the palm butter soup with lamb and fufu, I got the grilled red snapper with joloff rice, we shared two of the pastels (meat pies) as an appetizer, and I had a ginger juice to drink for myself. Everything was absolutely delicious, easily some of my new favorite food. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked, they served me the entire red snapper which my girlfriend and I shared. I highly recommend, 11/10.
