The food here is FANTASTIC and the portions are huge for the price! Seems to be more of a takeout place than a sit-in place as there are only a couple of tables. Ghanaian food is SPICY for the average American palate, so be warned! We tried the fufu with goat soup (contains meat and organs.), the grilled fish with jollof rice (tilapia and red snapper are served whole, head and all), and the kelewele (fried & seasoned plantain served with a side of peanuts)! Highly recommend if you enjoy West African cuisine or have an adventurous palate.

This place is filthy. The service and atmosphere is not welcoming. I was really looking forward to trying their food. But, I could not get past the stale smell and the unclean surfaces. I am very fair in my reviews but, there is no logical reason for this restaurant to look like it does. Needless to say,I did not eat from this place. I would recommend you don’t either.

I ordered a bowl of soup on Friday, only to discover it was spoiled when I got home. I called the restaurant, and they offered for me to return it, but the weather prevented me from going back that day. lol When I finally visited after work on Monday, I was shocked to find they were still serving the same spoiled soup. It’s unacceptable that this soup was likely served to other customers who ordered goat meat light soup over the weekend and into Monday. This experience was a complete waste of time and money, and I will never return to this establishment.
