Quiet ambiance will lots of love and care going on in the kitchen!

Aunthetic Ghanaian food that's conveniently located in Flatbush, which is lucky for me. It's a bit…read morestrange for the area, since the neighborhood is predominantly Carribean, but thankfully Akwaaba graces us (the name itself means, "Welcome", in Twi). I was told you know it's a legit place since inside, there's hanging one of the most common Ghanaian house decorations, the wall mat with the famous woman smiling from ear to ear, holding a vessel and a large bowl. This place is definitely a hole in the wall, resembling more of a closet on the side of a building than an actual eatery. It's cash only, be prepared, and also you might have to ring the doorbell since the guy isn't always there attentive waiting at the door. Prices were fair for what they were offering. We got the Banku with okra soup and Waakye with goat meat. Both were legit, according to my friend, and reminded him of home so much that he closed his eyes. He said we definitely need to go back.

I came here today and when I ordered my food it got to my table fast. The servers were very polite.read more

Loved this place will definitely be back!!!!…read more I am Americanized Nigerian- some know what that means Since I don't have immediate access to free Nigerian meals this place is a great substitute. Everything that I ordered was good. I probably won't order the okra stew anymore not enough okra for my liking but that's just a personal issue ‍. Loved the ambiance and the service was great. Ordered my food for 2pm and I think I only had to wait 20 minutes which is not bad compared to other African restaurants I have tried.

There is a long wait. They do cook everything fresh, but they ran outta the red snapper…read more Too much garlic on the food. Ordered branzino. It was fresh. But all I could taste was garlic. They use a lot of garlic on everything. It was a one and done. If you enjoy garlic, then it's for you. Restaraunt itself smells bad. It's not the most hygienic place. It's very a mom and pop, hole in the wall kinda place. I wouldn't dine in because of the smell.

This tiny unassuming African spot on the Main Street in Springfield is one such establishment. If you asked me where the very best grilled chicken I could have is I would point you here and tell you to ignore the fact that it was African, if you asked me for the very best African food I would say there are many great places and this is one of the absolute best! Karen, the owner and chef and Emanuel her brother are kind and well versed in hospitality, a fact that her formal and informal training will prove if you are fortunate enough to meet them. The spices, the smells and the flavors are what Africa is known for and the first thing they will tell you is that everything is cooked to order so don't expect it to just be ready but I promise you it's worth twice the amount of time (it wasn't too long by the way) and you truly feel as though you have been invited into their home. With no hyperbole this is not just some of the very best African food I've had it's some of the very best food I've ever had and I cannot wait to return.

I ordered the veggie combo for 2; the food was good. I was not a fan of the plating. Instead of…read moreeach item placed on the plate twice (one for each person) it was 1 large serving of each item. The honey wine is served in a traditional berele which I liked, but I did not like the wine at all. Tasted house-made and under fermented. I recommend if you're into liquid sugar. They played Spanish music in the Ethiopian restaurant The waitress either checked too frequently or barely, no in between. This is the worst ethiopian spot I've ever been to, but it's decent for take-out/uber eats. Ideas for improvement: Better plating Actual East African staff Training wait-staff to be appropriately attentive (do they have clean napkins?) Giving wet-wipes with the check (customary with finger-food dining) Play Ethiopian music.

I never thought I'd get to try out Global Grace Cafe since I typically work 6 days a week and am…read morerarely ever off on a weekday, but as luck would have it, I finished early not once, but twice(!) during one of my rotations and was able to stop by for lunch! Global Grace Cafe is located inside the Quilt Room or the social hall of the Reformed Church of Highland Park. When you get to the church, just follow the footpath to the right and enter--either follow your nose or the sounds of kitchen items and people and you should have no problem finding it! Every day, they have a different menu depending on which chef is working (there are chefs from India, Syria, Jamaica, Uganda and Indonesia!). Their food is super delicious with very fresh ingredients and the prices are very awesome. A lunch entree is $5, and if you want salad+soup, that'll run you $5 as well ($3 for salad, $2 for soup). They also have assorted pastries (cookies, scones, blondies, brownies, specialty bars [e.g. raspberry almond / apricot walnut / derby bar) that range from $1.50-2.50. They also serve fair trade coffee for one dollah! I got the Congolese Chicken + Cabbage with rice + potatoes and a side salad the first time I went. The second time, I got a trio of salads (beet salad, Congolese slaw, and cucumber salad) that came with pita bread. I've also tried their apricot walnut bar + derby bar. You can't really go wrong with any of the food here since it's all super tasty! :] I really wish I could come here more often, but I like being able to pop in when I can! It reminds me of the Better World Cafe (which I was only able to go to once)!

This cafe is a volunteer-driven service provided by the Reformed Church of Highland Park, who also…read moreprovides immigration assistance. Volunteers from different countries serve as the chef (I just happened to drop by on one fine Friday day and the food is Syrian, but I was told there was Indonesian and African/Nigerian cooking from time to time). We volunteered at the kitchen from time to time in the past but I never really actually ate at this cafe myself before. You eat in the dining hall of the church and the volunteers serve the food on a plate and add whatever salad/side combination you request right there. For 5-6 bucks, you'll get a delicious and fresh plate (except, unfortunately, the fruit, but it's forgivable). The chicken with cilantro or yogurt with bulgur on the side is well cooked, including the delicious potato salad side. If you'd like to surprise yourself with whatever exotic variety is available for your lunch (...and support a good cause), this is the place for you!
