Within 5 minutes of us sitting down myself and my partner see a rat. We left and decided to go elsewhere for food.less
Great Ghanaian food. Everything I taste is good. On the downside. They have clearly outgrown the premises. It gets too crowded and the food can take ages. I can't fault it. If they move 5 stars from me.less
I have been here a few times now and cannot fault the food. The restaurant serves Ghanaian cuisine and I have been informed by the many Ghanaians eating here that it is authentic. Most food is spicy so beware if coming with someone who can't tolerate heat! It is however, a small place, gets very busy and wait time can be long. On saying that though, if it was bigger it would probably lose its charm. Will continue to come here again and again!less
This place is a really popular local west african restaurant. It's always got a large cadre of clients piling in the door and it's always noisy so I thought I would give it a try. I can recommend the beers, which are very large, and the service is friendly. It's also ***incredibly*** loud considering that there are only maybe ten tables, as people all shout and laugh at the very top of their lungs and also the TV and music are all going simultaneously. So it's a pretty friendly place and everyone seems to know each other. Which brit Mr to the food. I am not an expert on west African cuisine so I am hesitant to bludgeon food that I don't understand...but I have to say that it was pretty mixed. My lovely companion 1 (MLC1) had tilapia with rice and veg, while MLC2 had volcanically spiced soup containing mystery meat and accompanied by a sort of rice doughball on the side. I had what I think was goat stew with brown rice and cooked vegetables, which was pretty warmly spiced. I have to say that the meat was stringy, it was covered with gristle and hadn't really been prepared as such. The rice tasted let...well, earth, I suppose, while the veg were very nice. MLC1 liked her tilapia which arrived gutted and otherwise as it was in life save for some singing from the grill. The tilapia meat was tender, and her rice was much preferable to my own. MLC2 - who is, I must admit, a timid eater - didn't get anywhere with her soup, which was incredibly hot and made her go purple in seconds. The menu contains cow's foot among much else, and apparently they really mean the extremity of a cow rather than some obscure plant: MLC2 was very worried that some of this epicurean delicacy would turn up on her plate. Decor is a mix of tribal village with masks, to fairly modern euro-eatery. The cost wasn't as cheap as one might have expected - mains were £9-14 and beers about £4 or so. I don't wish to do down the restaurant just because I dont quite get the cuisine, especially as there is a death of good food in the hole between Brixton Hill and Streatham Hill. So I would give a cautious endorsement, while at the same time wondering if something could be done to widen the appeal of the menu?less
Visited about 6pm on a Friday, restaurant not overly busy. Sat for 2 mins, waitress asked if we were ready to order, ermmm give me a chance to look at the menu. Food ordered - 2x egusi soup with palava sauce with fish and 2 fantas. Provided with bowl and soup to wash hands, food came shortly afterwards. Taste very, very bland - tasteless, no seasoning of any variety or pepper. Restaurant seems very popular - as the night wore on it became very busy. Crammed eating area - chairs too bulky for such a crammed environment. I will not venture back, food not to my liking - there are better African restaurants around.less
