Excellent customer/food service and great ambiance. Food was also well-spiced. Only down side was that the fufu was a little too hard for my liking, other than that, food was 👍🏿

Don't sit on this place! Seriously.... Tucked underneath the street level is one of the best food spots I have happened upon. I had never had traditional African food before and this food was exquisite!!!! And the waitress was super patient with all the excessive questioning about ingredients (I know, I know... Hate being that person but I was curious about everything!) We ordered multiple things and let me honestly tell you... EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! WOULD TOTALLY GO BACK!!!

My meal was amazing. Very pricey, but that's because I got the whole snapper. Expect to pay $18 per entree to start. #DCisexpensive

I'm Haitian and was put on Ghanian food recently by a friend. Of course their's was homemade. I googled and went on a weekday in the late afternoon. Service was prompt and hospitable and it was not busy. I got the Egusi Soup with oxtail and pounded yam. You can choose another meet besides oxtail. The food was delicious!

Great place for a group to try new food. Plus they have tej (Ethiopian honey wine). Injera is very good and plentiful. Would recommend the samosa appetizer and the beef tibs, very tasty. Owner was very hospitable and friendly. Only a couple blocks from the metro station, would return next time I'm in the area.

I had banku here and it reminded me exactly of West African food.

Very authentic Ghanian food. Live DJ at night time provides a great vibe. I tried the Egusi (ground melon seeds with spinach), and enjoyed it.

It was very easy to find. I think they need more hands to help out there. Ambience was on point, loved the lighting and the effort to play West African music. The food was good, but my hands was forced to buy extra large tilapia when I had budgetted for me large.

Nice laid back atmosphere. The host/owner is very genuine and authentic. Proud Ghanaian as most are😊 The food was great as well. So many dishes that I had missed from Ghana was on the menu. Definitely returning again!!

The entrees were very good, everything has mild heat to it so if you don't like spice at all you might ask for items with no spice. I enjoyed the jollof rice with goat and it was delicious. My companion enjoyed the palmnut soup with fufu. Large portions and very tasty. The friend plantains were delicious but a little spicy, they are served with salted peanuts which really brings out the flavor of them and tones down the heat... Everything is made when you order so expect to wait at 30 mins or more for your main course.. I wod definitely go back
