Angie Winners Kitchen — Restaurant in Grand Prairie

Angie’s Winner’s Kitchen serves Ghanaian Cuisine with some Nigerian offerings as well. Offers many Ghanaian specific dishes not commonly found in other sit-in West African DFW restaurants like Kenkey, groundnut/peanut soup with Omutuo, and Waakye. This is why we made the 45 minute trip from Garland.

TLDR: I can’t recommend this place enough for so many reasons. Food is great for both newcomers and the experienced alike. Great palatability to the experienced and new comers. Great selection of dishes. Descriptive menu with PICTURES and descriptions. Great quality and portion of goat and beef for soups. Great peanut soup and tilapia. Some of the best customer-staff interactions I have ever seen.

To sit-in customers: order water when you first get in. Wait is between 30-40 minutes but well worth it.Parking may be a little tight. We(2) came on a friday night and had no issues

To Angie’s Kitchen: Add a little more soup and sauce condiments to meals to balance the proportions.

This is the first review I’ve ever started typing in a google doc. There’s just so much to say.

Ambiance/Atmosphere:

On the smaller side. There’s 5 and a half booths that are about 5-6 ft deep so they can comfortably seat 6 people at each. One TV. You pay at the counter. Clean booths and menus.

There’s a Ghanaian mart next door, I went to while waiting. People there are friendly and helpful too.

Food:

Omutuo (rice ball) with groundnut soup and goat:

The soup had a great nutty flavor and it wasn’t overly saturated with oil. The goat meat was perfect. Goats meat also came with some skins too so both the variety and quality was great. Good portions. Falling-off-the bone perfection.

Critique: Add a little more soup for the dish to balance the starch and protein proportion.

Kenkey with grilled tilapia: I ordered a kenkey with tilapia togo and the tilapia was absolutely perfect! The grilled tilapia was perfect that night and the following day. Juicy. Amazing flavor. The skin was heavenly.

Critique: I would add more red pepper sauce to the kenkey dish.

Service:

TLDR: Amazingly warm service to pickup orders and sit-in patrons. Diverse clientele and all looked very satisfied. One of the best conflict resolution scenarios I have seen in my life. Food takes about 30 minutes to come out (because it’s prepared fresh and the great taste affirms this). She brings auxiliary utensils before you even have to ask. She makes it a point to check in with you once you get your food.

Pickup/Togo Orders: Service was definitely one of the most memorable aspects of the experience. Angie was one of the most personable restaurant owners I have ever met. When we first got in it sounded like she was resolving an issue with a togo customer, I’m not quite sure what had happened but I did overhear how it was fixed and it was phenomenal. Just over hearing her warmth and willingness in that initial situation and the reciprocal response from the customer immediately made a huge impression. In about 1.5 hours we were there 8-10 to-go ppl came in each left waving goodbye to her with a huge smile and a “See you next time!”.

Sitting in: After we got our meals, we had a really nice conversation with Angie. We talked about cooking and visiting Ghana and it was just really warm to connect like that. My boyfriend said it was one of the best interactions he’s had at a restaurant.

Clientele/Conclusion: I also want to add that the clientele was so diverse and seeing how she catered to each person was very inspiring and speaks for itself. From fellow West Africans to first timers, she catered to each person authentically. There was a white dude in his mid 20s that came in alone, a younger couple trying Ghanaian food for the first time, and several aunties that all came in all within the time we were there. Truly a testament to Angie’s ability in the kitchen and hospitality. Everyone left happy. This place is the gold standard when it comes to customer care, cuisine,...

I’m so disappointed in this restaurant, mainly the owner of this restaurant, sorry this review is long and very detailed. I’m not into writing reviews but their customer service is trash and very rude. So me and my partner dine in person around like 5pm on 4/21/25 at this restaurant, l ordered for groundnut soup and my partner ordered for Ghana beans stew and fried plantain. I got my food first and the food was good and everything it just the fufu is served in small portion. My partner changed his mind and packed his food in a to go container, l then ordered the same to go food like my partner. I got home and tried this food, the food had a weird taste to it like it’s been in the fridge for days, like it almost gone bad. The taste was so bad that my partner also complained about the same taste, l couldn’t eat this food at all. I called the restaurant like 3 times before someone picked up, l complained to the owner of the restaurant, she started over talking and wouldn’t even let me finish talking. She then said the palm oil she used for the beans stew doesn’t taste good and she has even tasted the food and that the food is fresh and have not been in the fridge. The owner is very unprofessional and mind you this is not my first time eating there, been there couple of times. She then told me to come back to the restaurant with the food and get my money back, there’s no way I would be driving 40minutes back . In total we spent over $100 in this restaurant , for as to get this treatment is very unfair. People use their hard earned money for these specific type of food, cus they wanna enjoy their food and feel like they are back home. This food is too expensive for this trash we got, I had to trash the food, money wasted. Angie Winner’s Kitchen, you have lost 2 customers from your restaurant and l would make sure to tell my friends and family to never step foot in there. And for anybody reading this, save yourself the trip and your money, it’s...

🍒WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: saw this place from Tik Tok and they’re one of the highly rated African food places in the DFW area! 🍒WHAT WE ORDERED: • Jollof Rice w/ Fried Chicken • Jollof Rice w/ Fried Fish • Banku and Okra • Egusi w/ pounded yam 🍒 PRICE: ~$85 🍒 THE VIBE: very very clean “hole in the wall” type of restaurant. Simple and decorated with lots of traditional African decor but I believe it was mostly Ghanaian decorations assuming the owners were from Ghana. 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? No. •••• Overall Rating: 6.5/10 This was my first time trying African food and I will say I’m glad I tried it, however, I am kind of scared to try it again. I believe the spices they use in African cuisine are very foreign to my stomach so literally 20 minutes after I ate the food my stomach hurt really bad for the rest of the night! I will say the jollof rice is very flavorful and delicious and I don’t think these dishes will hurt your tummy if you’re sensitive to certain spices! I really enjoyed the fried fish jollof rice the most. I do think it was the egusi w/ pounded yam and banku & okra dish that probably made my stomach upset along with my boyfriend and his sister too. They’re Indian so they usually eat dishes with lots of different foreign spices too but I think that African dishes have very different spices we were all not very familiar with. The spices and flavor were definitely there but I would be aware of the stomach ache. I don’t think it was food poisoning at all I think the spices they use are just different. Also, I will say this was very expensive for the amount of food we got. Not sure if most African food spots are this expensive but this place was very pricy for a regular amount...
