It was my first time trying African food. I ordered over the phone to go immediately when they opened. It took 25 minutes to be ready. Took me 20 minutes to get home. Food was very hot, I was glad it was. I give the food 4 because everything was well made. If you have not tried this food, go try it. I had the egusi with beef and Jolof rice, fufu and sweet plantains.
This is REAL homemade Ghanaian Food!!! Go there for the real taste!!! I visited Ghana recently and loved their food. Came back to the US craving more. I ate at a Ghanaian restaurant near me and was disappointed! But this restaurant is just what I was looking for!! The owners are heart warming and from Ghana. I can’t wait to eat here again. The prices are fair and the service is excellent. I didn’t have time to take a picture of my food because in ate it quickly and had more to take home. The portion size made me even more excited. Try this place, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a mom and pop, so the atmosphere is a little old but the food and the service makes up for everything!!! 😋

This place serves traditional 🇬🇭 Ghana food seems to be a mixture of other beautiful African countries 🌍. I was greeted very well as I walked into the establishment. Reminds me so much of my trip to Ghana, I couldn't do anything but enjoy myself inside. Food was made to order and as the owner told me remember this is America so some of the spices and the things they use are not in the traditional food. My overall experience was very pleasing and the jollof rice was delicious. The fried plantains were the grand finale of this meal 🤩.
Authentic and delicious! The goat was tender and easy to eat. I’ve eaten goat at other places and it’s chewy and tough. This goat meat was “melt in your mouth“ good. The fufu was Ghana soft. (As opposed to Nigerian style – you know what I’m talkin about.) The groundnut soup was so freakin flavorful! It felt like being in Ghana! And that goes for the atmosphere. Let’s go with “humble” – and in the BEST way. More like a chop-bar than an American style restaurant. I’m only in Houston for a few days and I plan to eat here every night.
Food was delicious with very large portion sizes. A mix of west African meals on the menu was a nice touch. Highly recommend. Will done there again when I visit Houston.
Delicious food. Amazing and friendly service! And an excellent place for Ghanaian and other African dishes. This place is family owned and you can clearly perceive their delight when you're excited by your meal. I ordered waakye (rice & peas) with fried plantains and goat meat stew. That was absolutely delicious! One friend ordered banku and okro soup, and the other got beans and fried plantains (red red). Their meals were also attractively served, and they confirmed that they were tasty and flavorful too. Check this place out for a fantastic meal experience. And when in doubt, be sure to ask your server for suggestions.
So happy that I found this place. I had a small sample of African food egusi and fufu at an event and wanted more. I tried a Nigerian restaurant near me. It was ok but not wow factor.
I was on this side of town and looked up fufu and found Afrikiko. YEEEEEES! I love their Beef and egusi with fufu! Will travel for food.
I'm mad at myself for buying one plate. I gavevto remember to get two to enjoy a couple of days since they are so far from me. I should probably try sometime but I get leary to spend money and not be sure. I know I like this so that's what I get.
They are my spot for that meal. It's over an hr drive for me to get there from where I live but worth it!
It's in an old dank strip mall, so it's basically a hole in the wall. But black folks know that's where you get the best food!
. Perfect cooking looks like they might be expanding to a bigger space ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ PORTIONS ARE HUGEEEEE and Delicious. If the owner not tired cus he been helping cook You in the wrong place … food amazinggggggg affff
The place was a good vibe. The owner is very welcoming. We ordered goat pepper soup and chicken peanut soup and it was so good! I am definitely going back!
This place was my first time trying African food and I fell in love. I got the Egusi soup (Fu-Fu) with chicken. It was so good and flavorful. Mind you I’m extremely picky so I shocked myself for even trying it out but I’m glad I did. I don’t regret it not one bit.I’ll be back with my friends next time
