    Fried Rice with grilled chicken
    Linda B.

    Asanka Delight is a definite VIBE. The Afro beats in the background were putting me in a very tranquil mood for a midday lunch on a Thursday. Felt like I was eating in a restaurant in Ghana (except for the rain). Dining area can accommodate small and large parties. There is also a bar where beer and wine are served. The West African dishes are great every time I come (2-3 times/month). The jollof and fried rice are good, but I get the fried rice with a side of the jollof sauce. Chicken is tender and juicy. Others prefer their goat. Service is excellent. When you're seated, your server brings a carafe of water and takes your order. Because I've been several times, I'm getting to know their awesome staff.

    Asanka Delight has been catering and now has a restaurant. One of my son's bestie's parents know the owners and said their food was authentic and delicious. She recommended her favorites to me. I ordered Red Red (bottom) bean stew with plantains, egg, beef and fish! Huge portion with authentic flavors and the pepper sauce gives it some heat! Also ordered spicy turkey which is just as flavorful! I wanted to try the Omo Tuo but weekends only so guess I will be back tomorrow lol

    We tried this spot for dinner on a Sunday evening. The ambiance is welcoming and the servers were great. The portions are large and the food is fresh and flavorful, worth the wait. We learned that they've been at this location for 3 months, but there was a good crowd of people (dine-in and carry-out) up until closing time, which is a good sign. This is an excellent option for authentic West African food and I can't wait to return.

    I've eaten here twice and enjoyed both experiences. The food was flavorful, and the staff was welcoming and kind. My favorite dishes so far are the pepper soup and red red. The second time some substitutions had to be made from my plantains and chicken, but the staff cleared it with me before proceeding with my order. All in all, I would return to explore other items on the menu.

    Spicy turkey is delicious!

Overall, if chicken kabobs were on the Cheesecake Factory menu, this version would be on the skinnylicious menu for those counting calories and preferring a healthier less indulgent version since flavors seem muted and textures appear lacking due to insufficient oil/grease.
