This place is incredible! This was my first visit, and metered parking wasn't friendly. At first I went to their old location which was closed but there was a sign & a young man handing out paper directions to the new place. If you're a New Yorker and pay ridridiculous amounts of money to live in this city, then you have to try every kind of cuisine from every cultural diaspora. That's what makes NYC magical! I love African cuisine, my favorite being Senegalese, but listen, Ghanaian is now my second! The swallow variety is crazy! And being that I'm recovering from tonsillitis, my throat was in heaven! The food is sooo comforting & delicious. I'm so happy they have expanded because I'm sure their business is going to blow up as more people try this cuisine. The service I received was outstanding! I told the young lady I wasn't familiar with the menu, and she whipped around, came out & started answering all my questions. All the meats are halal, so you know it's good quality. I ended up getting fried fish okra stew with tuo zaafi, a swallow made of cassava ($16), and a lamb egusi soup with kenkey, a swallow made of corn ($16). I wanted to try the banku but it wasn't ready. I also got a side of beans & plantains ($5 ea.)
I paid with Samsung pay and promised to be back. Let me tell you! I got soooo much food! The portions are ridiculous. I started with my fish okra soup & it was amazing! I had some of the lamb egusi soup but I'm not a big fan of lamb, but it was good. I've never had such flavors and textures dancing in my mouth. The beans are black eyed & it was also delicious. The plantains were made fresh, they weren't mushy & very yummy! There's enough food to last a week! You must give Ghanaian cuisine a try! I'll definitely be back here!
