Ordering Strategy

Portions are notoriously huge, so share starters like Kelewele before attempting a main stew or soup solo.

What to order

Safe first

Jollof Rice with Mutton Stew

This dish is described as "delicious" and "full of flavour," featuring mutton that is "tender from being slow cooked" alongside rice cooked in a savory meat stock.

Hungry

Omotuo & Peanut Soup

A "huge portion" of food consisting of a "log of compressed rice" served in a rich soup. It is a filling, authentic Ghanaian staple that anchors the menu.

Wildcard

Kelewele

This bowl of spiced fried plantain arrives "decorated with roasted peanuts" and is so tasty that reviewers report they "tucked into it with relish."

Wildcard

Tsofi (Turkey Tail)

Though described by some as "tough, chewy and gristly," others claim this fatty, fried delicacy is "sweeter and richer than the best fried chicken."

What to skip

Skip
Omotuo with Grilled Mackerel and Peanut Sauce— This specific combination can be "epically outside" of a diner's comfort zone due to an "intensely fishy flavour" and the inclusion of "bones, eyes and skin."
Skip
Chicken in Palava Sauce— While the taste is fine, the texture of the green sauce can be polarizing, with reviewers noting a "slimy texture of overcooked spinach or ladysfingers."
