Akwaaba Restaurant

"The food was a good portion, but not especially cheap most things were in the $20-25 range, and cash only. I was in a group that got several things. I myself got the goat with okra and fufu. I usually never have problems with food textures but the texture was disgusting it was like a bunch of sticky slime, and only two small pieces of meat, and a bunch of hard cartilage like stuff. The flavor was ok as in if the texture was ok it would be neutral not good or bad. The smell of the dish was awful it smelt a bit like rotting meat and dog food, everyone in the group I was with agreed it smelt like rotten meat and wouldn’t eat it. Since you eat this with your hands i got some on my hands and then washed my hands after, but later that day and even next day my hands smelt like rotting flesh even after thoroughly cleaning under nails and everything many times. Everybody else in group thought their food was alright with the exception of the other person who got the same thing as me, he couldn’t stomach it."

"Giving three stars because this is a small business. I Really want to give 2 stars. The jollof rice was on the dry side and some grains harder than others. The fish was tasty. The okra soup was very oily. Fufu was good. The price and portion size did not match. I need to try other Ghanian/ West African restaurants."

"Akwaaba immerses you in the heart of Ghanaian culture, weaving a tapestry of flavors, spices & traditions into each tantalizing dish. The charming owners infuse their soul into every meal, making it a true mom & pop gem"

"Akwaaba beckons with a warmth that perfectly encapsulates its name – ‘welcome’ in the Akan language. This culinary gem offers an inviting gateway into the heart of authentic African cuisine, taking patrons on an enchanting journey of robust flavors, textures, and traditions that captivate the senses and enrich the palate. The Fufu with Goat Meat Peppa Soup stands tall as a testament to the restaurant’s culinary prowess. The fufu, a staple West African dish, is expertly crafted to the perfect consistency, providing a soothing canvas for the peppery elixir it’s served with. The goat meat, simmered to tender perfection, adds a depth of richness to the fiery soup, resulting in a harmonious balance of flavors that is both comforting and invigorating. The Peanut Soup offers another peek into the kitchen’s culinary magic. The soup, a delicious mélange of smooth, creamy peanut butter and traditional spices, evokes a sense of nostalgia and homeliness that is hard to resist. Each sip is a reaffirmation of the depth and versatility of African cuisine. The centerpiece of this gastronomic journey, however, is the Jollof Rice with Fried Porgy. The rice, a vibrant orange testament to the blend of spices it’s cooked with, is perfectly complemented by the fried porgy. The crisp, golden-brown exterior of the fish conceals tender, moist flesh within, creating a contrast of textures that harmonize perfectly with the bold flavors of the jollof. Every visit to Akwaaba is more than a dining experience; it is an immersive journey into the heart of African culture and culinary traditions. The menu is a testament to the rich diversity of African cuisine, each dish crafted with precision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. Dining at Akwaaba is not simply about satisfying hunger; it’s about embracing a rich, culinary narrative that continues to shape and inspire."

"Went there twice! Try their Fufu and Okro soup, DELICIOUS!!! The place itself doesn't look like anything. You'll go there and leave. They don't have a menu, so you pretty need to know what you want ( can check the Google reviews, and see what others had ordered before). They are very friendly, give you vibe like you go to a friend house. I love the FUFU, Goat and Okra soup. Give it a shot, you'll not regret. It's is mostly take out and cash only."
