Accra — Restaurant in New York

Came to this place based on reviews and the fact that my ancestors and DNA are from West Africa. I have had Ethiopian food before and didn't like it too well. Maybe just from the place I bought the food from. I was greeted when I walked in. Place seems clean, lady behind counter was nice and attentive. I got a beef stew w/ waakye and a chicken stew w/waakye small plate. Small is actually big enough for one person with left overs. I called ahead to see if they had everything I wanted to order and the only thing they didn't have was the spinach (efo riro); which I really wanted to try as I love green veggies on every plate. I'm a serious foodie and cook at home too as well very often. I got home and tried; I traveled from Westchester County; about 20 minutes away and the food was still hot and delicious. They should add more meat for price though. With beef I had small pieces of meat with big bones and the chicken was more but still a small nibbling of meat from those bones.. Will come back again though. Wish I also got the name of the lady who served me. Very...

I love the food here. It tastes just like I want it too. Like the food some friends introduced to me. The service is why I only give it 3 stars.

Also I suspect that I was over charged. Once a man even commented to the woman behind the counter about what she charged me for my food. He was in line behind me so he knew what I ordered. The prices aren't marked and she insisted the price she gave me was correct so I had no choice but to pay if I wanted the food and I did. As I said the food is good. The service however... if you are not clearly from somewhere in...

GHANA 🇬🇭 Excerpt from Eat the World NYC: Especially on those days when the sun shines bright, it always takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the dim environs of Accra Restaurant after coming in from Davidson Avenue.

In the past ten years at the original spot, not much has changed besides successive coats of blue paint to cover graffiti and a brand new logo on the awning. This image is reflective of the food, a Ghanaian flag and its black star superimposed on the continent of Africa. On any day you are likely to find options to eat from many West African countries and other languages not used in Ghana being spoken by customers.

A recent visit with friends was a chance to sample a few different things and see where the restaurant had evolved since opening other locations. Thankfully the quality of everything has not changed and they were still not catering to crowds without experience eating...
