Afrikiko — Restaurant in Accra

Bear with me, my review would be extensive. Normally my friends and I order food from any of the restaurants at Afrikiko such BellaAfrik, the Terasu Japanese restaurant or others. But we order our drinks from The cocktail bar, with Afrikiko Leisure Centre written at the top

On 8th September 2021, 4 of my friends order 2 tots of tequila each while one order 2 tots of Hennessey. They all had the same type of glass. However, we all realised that my friend who ordered for 2 tot of Hennessey's drink did not reach 2 tots. When we complained the lady who served us (she was plumpy with short natural hair) insisted. An attempt to have the drink re-measure in our presence failed. And so we let it go with making any waves. I ordered for 2 fresh pineapple juice with no ice (my usual). Very nice.

On Wednesday 29 September 2021, two weeks later, I was there with my cousin and ordered the same fresh pineapple juice, no ice and my cousin ordered for watermelon juice, no ice. We were served by the same waitress from 2 weeks ago. She brought our drinks and clearly they were heavily diluted with water. The drinks were like two glasses of water mixed with two table spoon syrup of pineapple and watermelon. This time, we rejected the drinks and ordered from another waitress from another restaurant there. she brought us real fresh juice. We decide that going forward, we will not patronize the cocktail bar again.

I wrote this review because I suspect the barman or men and probably the waitress are diluting the drinks and also passing off reduce quantity to make more money and the owner probably may not have any idea what's going on.

Sanitation: It’s quite low, given the shed they built above at the bar area it doesn’t look like they’ve cleaned their floors in a while, until someone comes to a table it will remain the same as it was left so that’s a low reaction time to cleaning after guests leave

Music: The music is so loud you can barely hear yourself speak, their band (unlike Zen Gardens) don’t have a particular attire, over all not too many people were moved by the music but that depends on the music, when they switched from foreign songs to local songs and Jamaican songs people were more receptive to that and started dancing, but personally (4/10)

Food: Their food isn’t exactly the same as how you see it on the menu. Their Fish Cake was a whopping 65 but it was so small and it didn’t taste that good (3/10)

so the kitchen had to compensate with their Thai Spring Rolls 40 (6pieces),

Chicken Wings (4/10) was 55 and it lacked that taste you usually want in chicken,

Spaghetti with spicy mix seafood’s 75 veggies looked “dead,” same with the veggies in the Pahd Woon Sain with chicken 55

Service: Bridgette was very attentive and receptive, we didn’t even have to call her, she was there right after seeing to other clientele, other people waiting other tables would also occasionally come ask whether everything was okay, so...
