Heritage Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Accra

Ok, some say curry is curry. Well I say there is curry and then there is great curry. This was great curry!

We were a group of 5, out for an evening meal. Although we were in the wrong restaurant 😂. This place has an upstairs and downstairs restaurants. Downstairs for Chinese and upstairs for Indian. We will be back to taste Chinese.

We go upstairs and it’s spacious. Plenty of room and you do t feel other guests are sitting at your table, like some restaurants. Service was welcoming, and diligent. We ordered drinks which arrived quickly and also placed our food order at the same time. Some restaurants make you wait between drinks and food. Never understood this 🤷‍♂️.

We had a number of starters and wowsers! They were all good portion sizes and delivered hot. All were very tasty indeed, did I say they were good portion sizes? Yes they were.

My personal favourite was the Hindustani chicken wings, full flavoured and did I say plenty of them? They were all tasty yum yum.

Main course was a veritable feast, laid out before us. If I was to say at this point that we needed to temper our hunger with a modicum of control. Was an understatement. Again the portion size was large, I don’t think any of us, actually finished all our main course. Rice, naans, meat dishes were a plenty.

I’ve been lucky to taste curry in various places around the world, and this one goes a long way to being, probably the best I’ve ever tasted. Full of flavour and spice and that goes for all the dishes.

Did I say there was large portion sizes? Suffice to say we didn’t finish, not through a lack of trying.

You would need assistance to get upstairs, if you have any disability. No life, but plenty of staff to help I’m sure.

Would I go back?

Hell yes, but I would be more conservative in my ordering.

Thanks for a great night

PS. Looking forward to trying the...

Whereas the service is 10/10, the food is average at best. For their high price point I was expecting the best ingredients and an amazing experience (they chefs are Indian themselves) but that's sadly not what I got.

Their interior is very nice, although their AC is cranked so low it feels like winter. Service - honestly best I've encountered in Ghana. The servers are attentive, friendly, and very helpful.

Now their food. I thought I was going to get a plate full of amazing Indian food, but it wasn't really the case. Whereas their veg pakora was very nice, my aloo kulcha (potato stuffed indian bread) was way too oily for my liking. But that's just the smallest thing. I was really looking forward to my main mushroom makai matar (mushrooms and corn in mildly spicy gravy) and was utterly disappointed. For 62ghc (~11€) price point I was expecting to be vowed. But they use CANNED mushrooms and corn, which means that the authentic taste of vegetables is totally gone. While it does not taste horrible, just below average, the quality does definitely justify the price. So my main was a disappointment.

All in all, an average experience. Street food in India far surpasses in taste and ingredients, and is...

On my first visit to Accra, I was disappointed to not visit Heritage Restaurant due to a lack time, yet this was on my list of things to do. When I returned, I and a bunch of buddies made sure to check out as I am a big fan on Indian food, especially the curries. And boy oh boy was I glad to have dropped by! Right upon entrance, the cool ambience and colourful decor were an instant hit. I could not wait for the food. We ordered various items including lamb curry, chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala and chicken butter curry, to go with naan bread, vegetable pulao and cocktails. We were presently surprised by the food. Immense flavour, tasteful, good spices, not too hot on the pepper/chill, and all-round nice made the combinations a delightful welcome on the senses.! We all had a blast, enjoyed the food to our taste, and had some good fun. The blue lagoon cocktail was the biggest I have seen in my life, and it was just perfect. When I come back to Accra I will definitely be coming back and bringing everyone I can! I love Indian cuisine and this was just a wonderful experience for me...
