Good food, good atmosphere and amazing service. We will be visiting again and spreading the word about the food. All the food was fresh and had good prices too. There were 7 in our party and they were busy but kept up the pace and we didn't wait too long for our meals. We'll definitely be back often. Thank you Akwaba family!
Deandra J.
Deandra J.Dine in | Lunch | $20–30. We had such a great experience here! We went in the mid afternoon so it wasn’t very busy. The food came out in twenty minutes or less. The server suggested mixing hibiscus and passion fruit juice and it was 💯. For the meal we split an okra soup with cassava fufu and goat meat (I don’t remember the name of it on the menu unfortunately). We both got large whole fried tilapia; I got fried plantains and my partner got jollof rice. Everything was amazing. The condiments with the fish were too good, the.
Alissa Casey
Alissa CaseyThe food was delicious and I would go there again, little bit pricey but delicious. The Pastel (meat pie), Lamb dibi, beef kebab, rice and beans, and fried plantain were all good. I really enjoyed the ginger juice (good ginger spicy and sweet drink, so good). There isn't a large staff so service might be slow, even when not very busy. So come with patience and grace.
Anushka J.
Anushka J.I ordered food to go and the food was really good. The jollof rice was cooked perfectly and the grill chicken was very flavorful, but not as tender as I would like, plantains were sweet and perfectly ripe and not greasy. The only complaint is that I waited a little over 30 minutes after ordering in person. I guess because there was only one person taking orders and serving customers sitting on the table. This person was also handling pick up orders as well. They just need more staff.
Mely N.
Mely N.This was me and my partners first time trying fufu, we got the meat pie, lamb dibi, jollof rice, and peanut butter soup with fufu. It was absolutely amazing! I think it's all my new favorite thing to eat. We will be coming back asap because I can't wait to try something new. This stuff is DELICIOUS!
Madison S.
Madison S.Very good! We got the chicken yassa which was excellent. The Jaffa rice and fufu were also good but not my favorite. The passion fruit juice was delightful! Food: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5
