Food is excellent. The service is iffy depending on who you get at the register. Some of the ladies and guys working in the back are really pleasant. The seating areas seem to be used as a storage area which takes away from the beauty and the atmosphere if you decide to dine in. Then on top of that they charge an additional dine-in fee which I thought was unfair. I wish they would clean up the dining area so to encourage more people to dine in if they’re going to change a fee to sit in the restaurant and eat. If you like African food then definitely give them a try.

This was literally my plate and that’s after scooping out the food from the box they packed it in soaked with oil. The plantains were worse and the goat meat, 3 small dry pieces u can’t bite into. So disappointed.

The place was neat, workers were nice. I bought waakye, omo tuo , banku and okro, ampesi, kelewele and meatpie. I have tried the waakye and meatpie and i will say it was tasty

Having lived in Ghana before, I can tell you this is a real treat. The food was tasty, the staff friendly and there was an atmosphere that reminded me of Ghana in the best way. I am glad I tried this place out. The kelewele (plantain dish) was very enjoyable, and my fufu was good with a delicious pepper soup and even the pieces of goat meat made me remember the chop bars of Ghana. Oh, you have to try to the sobolo as well. You won’t regret it.

The service is so bad, they ask me to take the food and eat in the car because they have to clean and close at 7:30 when they are so close at 8:00. I’m frustrated because we drive more than a hour to try this African restaurant. That’s not nice

I’m so upset with this place! A family member told me about this place, so I tried it and I fell in love with the food. I’ve been ordering a lot lately and I guess they’re getting tired of me ordering late (I work until about 7pm) because I ordered dinner today and the food was so spicy I couldn’t even eat it. I feel like this was intentional because I’ve ordered many times already and it’s never been this spicy. If you think I’m exaggerating, my lips have literally been swollen for the last hour and I only ate about 5 bites. If it burns this bad on the outside I can only imagine what it’s doing to the inside. Safe to say I won’t be ordering here anymore !
