Kenkey Hut

Kenkey Hut specializes in its name sake Ghanaian delicacy, Kenkey, which consists of fermented maize pudding wrapped in banana leaves. While an acquired taste, the flavor and textures of Kenkey are unique- think overstuffed tamale with the acidity and subtle pungency of injera. Much like injera, Kenkey is meant to accompany other dishes as a carb stable, rather than being consumed by itself. The Kenkey here is literally being made in front of you and comes out HOT from the steamer and provides a wonderful textural accompaniment to fish, stews, veggies, whatever you desire

GHANA 🇬🇭 Eat the World NYC review: For the better part of a decade, the fermented corn flour staple kenkey has had its home here at Kenkey Hut in Fordham Heights. A typical meal with it consists of fried fish and spicy pepper sauce, which just about rounds out the list of available items here. Grab all three and take it home or across the street to sit down in the park.

It's a shame that trying to order from here is such a pain. The kenkey is freshly made and nice but their phone number only goes through maybe once a year and on those 2 occasions in a span of 2 years, when I spoke to the lady abt delivery, she said she was traveling and couldn't mail it. She asked that I check in with her after a month, it's been more than 2 months and I still haven't gotten hold of her yet. I can only imagine how much more this business would grow if they had a good and stable mailing system. This is such a shame

A lifesaver! As a Black American married to a Ga man, there’s no way I can make kenkey myself, lol! While I am able to make various stews, I didn’t believe my husband could feel fully himself in America without his kenkey, haha. We came across this establishment via word of mouth on the east river ferry from fellow Ghanaians a few years ago. My husband says their kenkey is good enough to rival Jamestown kenkey and that is saying a lot! I appreciate that the kenkey is always hot, soft and ready to eat! Her fish and shrimps are also nice. 😊

The kenkey is perfect, I think the fish a expensive.
