Not had a bad food yet. Love every food I've ordered from there so far. Kenkey is very soft . The TZ was so good and well packaged the soup that came with the TZ was very delicious like a made in Ghana food. I really love this restaurant. Wish they added stirfry indomie to their menu.

It's A LOT OF FOOD for $25!! The food was just OK. I have seen reviews from other people about the food have too much oil and the meat being overcooked (hard), it is true. The JOLLOF RICE was VERY OILY and kinda bland, not enough flavor or seasoning. The chicken is overcooked but not too dry. The fish is ok, not dry but bland and no flavor. Overall, the food is ok. I won't buy it again but might try different items from this store.

Beef Kebab 2 skewers was absolutely terrible,overcooked and hard. if you're charging $9 for 6 small pieces of beef they could at least be tasty. JOLLOF RICE was ok and the Kelewele was really good. At these prices and quality will not be ordering from here again as there are better options available. First time ordering from them and I am unimpressed

Everything was delicious. The kelewele, the fried chicken, the spring rolls, and the tsofi. The tsofi was a little hard though. The fried chicken was great and for the price you can't beat that ANYWHERE. I bought the spring rolls one time before and was super impressed.

I got the peanut butter soup and the fufu special 5loaves special entree palm nut soup. The food came quicker than I thought it was fresh and hot. Pretty fair portions. 1 ball of fufu is enough for me. I also got the meat pocket, it was pretty good. I love the peanut one other than needing a little salt, but it was great. I wasn't a fan of the palm nut It had a funky smell/taste like bile maybe because it was cooked with other cuts of beef. I wouldn't get that again, but I would get the peanut butter soup and next time I would try the spinach stew :)
