Mama G African Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
Good food. My wife and I enjoyed our meal when we visited. The lady tilling the counter was friendly, the tilapia was great, the banku could use some improvement, but overall we had a good time.
Great Ghanaian food; I traveled from Queens to get some amazing food! I enjoyed the okra stew and the fish. Tasty!
The owners were very thoughtful, kind and accommodating to me and my partner. We came to visit this restaurant for a first time around and 12p. The head chef was walking through the restaurant and told us that he was grilling the jerk chicken on a barbecue out back. "Lots of restaurants will sell you their jerk chicken but will actually prepare it in the oven instead of over a fire grill--the way jerk chicken is supposed to be made," he said. "We make all our jerk chicken fresh and over the wood fired grill we have going out back."
The inside is nice and clean. The food was delicious, not too spicy but not at all bland. We ordered their fufu with egusi and the flavor was impeccable. The egusi soup was impeccable, and paired well with the fufu.
First time trying African food, great experience. Wanted to try a traditional dish and was recommended the fufu, and it was delicious! A community oriented restaurant, good music, down to earth staff and friendly regulars. Will definitely return to try more food
First time trying authentic African food and was very impressed by their flavors! Ordered lamb stew and fried fish and gosh it was great! As a first time comer, the owner was also kind enough to introduce all the foods for us and gave us great recommendations! I have to say though, their portion size is so generous that we took the leftover back home and took three meals to finish!!
