Accra

Love this place. Authentic Ghanian food made by a family that truly understand African cuisine. So much variety. Even some soul food. If you’ve ever had Nigerian Jollof rice, forget you ever eat that and it prepare ur palette for something more flavorful. Service is exceptional and it’s opened 24hr.

I enjoyed a sumptuous and supremely satisfying lunch at Accra.
Visiting with family, we were welcomed and offered many samples to try, as we were unfamiliar with the cuisine.
The food was tender and tasty, and the staff patient and pleased to help us.
The atmosphere was warm yet bustling, and piping hot foods continuously poured out of the kitchen to replenish the offering and and filling the restaurant with enticing aromas.
For a mountain of food for three, along with drinks, we paid $ 40 — a bargain given quantity and quality.
I can’t wait to go back!

The food here was so good. I love it. Don’t judge this book by its cover. It doesn’t look fancy but you will be happy you stopped in!
The food can be spicy and I love it. Ask the staff for recommendations. They are very friendly

Jeannette was so nice in navigating us through the Ghanaian food, letting us taste samples and making suggestions. She also helped me figure out how to eat the fufu with soup, which I love but never quite mastered. The food was delicious, so many depths of flavor, and very spicy! (Be careful of the ginger beer, which has hot pepper in it.) We will definitely be back.

I wanted authentic Nigerian jollof rice, and this wasn’t it. I’ll keep searching. The place is ok, the people that work there are ok. Nothing special. But it was my fault after I saw the color of the rice I should have know this wasn’t Nigerian jollof rice, it taste completely different, I mean no taste or flavor, the color was almost white so I will not be returning back.

My absolute favorite Ghanian restaurant and also the only one I’ve found in the city. Went to Buka (Nigerian food) and it pales in comparison. Customer service here is quick and easy! Huge portions and delicious food. How can one beat that?

This place is bomb!!!
So glad Unilocal steered me here during a recent visit to NYC. Mom and I were craving some nigerian food, and were pointed towards Accra which of course serves Ghanaian fare, but all west african food is quite similar so I knew I’d be able to find something that I would like.
And boy did I find it! Got my jollof rice, plantain and chicken fix! No lie, I’ve had jollof rice many a times, and this was the BEST one that I’ve ever had. It had that nice burnt party rice flavor… which if you know naija/​ghanaian food, you know that this is a good thing. The rice was the clear star of my meal though the plantain and chicken was solid.
Prices were legit especially for how much food you get. I was able to get two full meals out of my one order, and was quite content. I will surely be back next time I’m in the Harlem area!
So glad this place exists and wish there was some sort of equivalent out in the bay.

So good! My friend and I went in knowing nothing about Ghanaian food and the lady was extremely nice in explaining everything and letting us try some of the dishes. Anything with okra is wonderful and the goat curry was to die for. Also you must get the jollof rice and plantains. The rice is really flavorful and delicious and the plantains are so juicy. The prices are extremely reasonable too. Wonderful service and food. I’ll be coming back!

I love this place, clean environment, fast service, great price .they give you a really good portion four the price. The food taste delicious

*** Standard West African food, Quick service, Huge selection ***
Came here on a late night and ordered jollof rice with spinach and shitoe sauce. The food was very delicious and similar to a fast food joint, the service is quick. Prices aren’t listed, which is why I knocked the rating down. The cost for a small was $ 10.

My friends and I visited this restaurant and we were shocked at how nice and courteous our server was. This is by far the best service I have personally received from an African-​owned establishment and I say this as an African too.
It was our first time at this particular place and we were not sure about what to eat but the lady was so patient and helpful. The prices are amazing too! Extremely reasonable for the size/​portion of food you get! Woo Hoo!!!
I only give a 4 star because I am Nigerian and I did not find the Jollof Rice to be Authentic. The taste was good, the color was a little off but it just didn’t taste like authentic Nigerian Jollof Rice. If you know jollof, you’ll understand what i’m saying.
Otherwise, everything else was great! Try the Ghanaian Wache– It’s amazing!

Chicken stew and spinach are delicious! Would be helpful if prices were displayed on the menu

I love this place I been looking for a good African restaurant for over 4 years now and I have found it. ive been here multiple time and all their fish dishes are to die for. I came in one time and they lady let me try some of the stewed fish so I went home with both stewed and fried fish for me and my mother to share and we loved it the prices are good and the food is great tonight I had fried fish rice and mac n cheese I don’t eat meat but my mom does and she loves the food as well Its amazing

A friend of mine told me about this spot so I decided to satisfy my craving for West African food by getting takeaway. From the moment I walked in, the fragrances of authentic African food begun to tantalize my nostrils and make me salivate. Brace yourself because there is a HUGE selection of food. I decided to go with pounded yam, egusi soup and suya. As a Nigerian, I can survive on suya alone. I’ve have some really lackluster suya in the Americas so I usually wait til I go to the Motherland to feed my suya addiction. The lovely lady serving us allowed me to try a piece and man oh man, I was impressed. Delicious flavour with the very authentic suya pepper. Its not as good as Motherland suya but its definitely up there. The meal was so good, I actually tried (keyword: tried) to eat half so I could save the other half for later… that was a fail. 20 minutes later, all that was left of this great experience was a food baby and the anticipation of a food coma. All in all: amazing food and very appropriate servings for a phenomenal price. Accra, I’ll be back soon for my next fix.

The food from Accra is very delicious. Having been to Ghana and eaten Ghanian food often, I can honestly say it has satisfied my taste and cravings for authentic flavors and cooking styles of west Africa.
The food is always fresh and constantly being prepared hot from the kitchen. The spices are ripe and bold, the meats prepared and cooked exactly how they are in Ghana. The portions are large, my girlfriend and I have, on occasion, shared one take out platter and a few sides, and that is enough to satisfy us both. Plus, its all heats well as leftovers!
Yes, the atmosphere is not the most ideal, but are you really going to the Accra restaurant to look at the art on the walls or chandeliers hanging from the ceiling? I went for the delicious food and I’m glad I gave it a chance.
I’ve gotten food from Accra four times, will definitely be going back soon.

Thee worst food I ever had in my life. Good service is no longer expected from Harlem servers, but at least cut of the end of the dried up turkey meatloaf that has been sitting for who KNOWs how long! I know the server hated to get up from her chair, but why give me the worst pieces of turkey meatloaf. Common sense. Cut off the end, and give your customer the best part, in your dry buffet wall.
This is my second time giving ACCRA a fair chance. The food is inedible. My whole foil went in the trash, FULL of a meatless, dry, unseasoned turkey wing, iceberg lettuce that was complete with end pieces you dont want to eat, and turkey meatloaf that she served to me with the driestest end pieces that have been drying out for hours in the tin!!!

They tried… that’s all i can say. I thought the food served in the other GH restaurants in the bronx were just okay… but in comparison… This one is awful… it’s prepared by Hausa’s so you’re better off ordering traditional hausa food. Everything else is a joke. unfortunately, they have no competition besides the ones in the bronx. Every meal is extra spicy and salty. Trust me I have tried everything on the menu.
Pros— food is cheap, friendly service, they deliver in Harlem
Won’t even recommend it as a drunk food.
Go to the Bronx or NJ if you want close to authentic well prepared GH food.

Harlem is the place to come for a variety of authentic West African cuisine. This is a steam table restaurant with many Ghanian dishes served daily. The food is very tasty. They have different types of fish and chicken dishes with a variety of different types of sauces/​gravies. The price is right for a huge platter of food that usually is enough for 2 people. Warning though: some of the dishes are very salty so if you are watching you blood pressure, stay away because you won’t be able to resist once you smell it.
Let’s hope for this restaurant to keep up the cleanliness and quality.
This is 2 blocks south of the ²⁄₃ red subway 125^th Street stop so it really easy to get to from anywhere.
