I have no idea what West African food is supposed to taste like. With that in mind, I ordered the beans and plantains/fried bananas and then asked if he had any rice because I typically eat rice when I have beans. He said yes and pointed to something on the menu that also had fish with it. So I ordered the rice with chicken. The person I was with ordered a goat meat stew. The rice was flavorful, had subtle spices and herbs that I cannot identify. The beans looks like a black eye pea. They had a slight smoky flavor to it. Not as strong smoky as I had in Belize, which was cooked on an open fire. Zach gives me the thought that these were also cooked on a charcoal fire if that is possible in New Jersey. The fried plantains were exactly as I expected sweet, very sweet. The chicken was good, mos

If you are looking for a Ghanaian food that takes you straight to Ghana, it’s this place. The food was amazing and a lot. I will recommend this place. The Waakye, fufui,banku, tilapia and fried yams are amazing i almost forgot they have Jollof and other dishes as well.

The food was totally worth the drive from Malvern, PA. Good music, great services, kind people...the washroom was fairly clean with water and hand soap available (that was a huge plus). As for the Chofi, it's authentic Ghanaian Chofi for whoever is wondering how good it was. P.S. they are moving to a new location, please find them if you're craving some authentic Ghanaian delicacies.

The banku was soft and enjoyable, but the tilapia lacked flavor and felt disappointing for a $26 meal. The meat pie, however, was delicious and the highlight of the order
