This food is the best African food I ever had. We drive from Yorktown Virginia to this place to get this food. Don't stop selling this food. We appreciate all that you do to make our experience at your restaurant the best. Also your goat meat is seasoned perfect although I don't eat the skin, the meat itself is amazing... We will definitely be back. Thank you!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Honey Bee · Sep 2025

Everything was pretty good overall. The egusi itself had a nice flavor from what I could taste, but both meals had so much oil that it overpowered everything else. The goat was surprisingly tender (a lot of African restaurants tend to overcook the meat, but not here), and the fish was also nice. The main issue was the lack of spice or seasoning it didn’t really have that bold flavor I was expecting. I think it would help if customers could request the stew with less oil or even have the option to order the oil/stew on the side. I actually had to pour some of it out in street just to avoid making a mess in my semi truck.

My favorite Ghanaian spot!!! The waakye is superb! The staff are all so sweet. I love eating fufu with my waakye.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Adam Nelson · Aug 2025

I ordered goat stew with fufu And 3 meat kabobs. The stew and fufu was like $18, But it was delicious and a reasonable portion. The spicy meat kabobs were also delicious, But less value for the $12. You'd get twice as much for less money from the Chinese restaurant door. That said, this place is a welcome change in pace. Hopefully I can make more money, because 30-40$ per person is a bit steep for me to be a regular, but the flavors are good.

Another great experienice with this restaurant as I have now been here several times to get my West African fix. The Fufu With Goat Egusi Stew takes me back to my teenage years with authentic flavors. The Turkey Wings are seasoned to perfection, hugged by fresh onions and peppers, and the pepper sauce cup is an amazing compliment. I place my orders for pick and travel from Chesterfield for this food, the quality and customer service is well worth it!
