    The food always slaps--my God!…read more The Asaro is the best I've had in the states and the Ofada is a close second!

Overall, the food is decent, and the restaurant has always appeared clean when I've visited. However, they are on the expensive side, and the quality and consistency do not always match what they charge. The efo riro is probably the strongest dish I've tried and the main thing I would order again, although it could still use a little more seasoning. The moi moi is also good. I would skip the amala until they improve the preparation. Proper amala should be smooth, but the one I received was extremely lumpy, with small clumps throughout. It tasted like it had been prepared by someone who had not yet mastered the technique. I also tried the ila alasepo, and I would not order it again. It was visually very unappetizing, with a consistency that looked completely wrong for the dish. More importantly, the okra did not draw at all. That is a basic requirement of properly prepared ila alasepo, and if the okra does not draw, it should not be served. I received three pieces of goat meat, and two were bony rib pieces with hardly any meat. At $35, serving mostly bones is unacceptable. It might pass with customers who are unfamiliar with how ila alasepo should look and taste, but anyone who knows the dish will immediately recognize that the execution was a complete failure. My first meat pie was good, but later orders were disappointing. The crust lacked the buttery richness and tenderness a good meat pie should have, the seasoning in the filling tasted off, and the filling needed better binding. The ayamase was excessively oily, while the red stew tasted almost raw and underdeveloped. The meat tasted as though it had been cooked separately and added afterward, rather than being properly braised in the sauce so it could absorb the flavor. The food is not bad across the board, but much of it is bland-adjacent, and the execution is inconsistent. Their prices are their prices, but at that price point, the food should be flavorful, refined, and consistently well prepared. They get a few things right, particularly the efo riro and moi moi, but the overall quality needs to catch up with the cost. They can do better.

Very NYC feel with the energy of that secret place you only tell your best friends about or people you care about their opinion of you. I had Lamb Dibi. It's now my favorite Lamb dish. Smashed potatoes, the best Salad i have ever eaten, a fine smooth Ipa and a Passionfruit Meringue tart. Everything we tasted was PERFECT. We were there to see J Cole, and would come back again just for the food and the vibe. I want them to cater my next special event. People will think you know fine food after you recommend this place. Our Server Mo was also excellent. We met one of the owners as well. Excellent gentleman! I only wish they were in my neighborhood. If they were, we would eat there every week!

We enjoyed ourselves tremendously from start to finish. The host was super accommodating, our server was AMAZING, and the food was delicious. We tried a little bit of everything: the fish tacos (I honestly can't remember what type of fish they were ), a burger and fries, and the garlic noodles with salmon. Everything we ordered was flavorful and satisfying. The drinks were good, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the overall energy of the restaurant made it the perfect spot for a night out with the girls. It had that comfortable, laid-back feel where you can actually enjoy your food, drinks, and conversation without feeling rushed. We Lyfted to the restaurant, so I can't speak too much on the parking situation. I did notice what looked like a parking lot behind the establishment, and there is also street parking available. Overall, Two Hommes definitely delivered! Great food, great service, good drinks, and an even better vibe. I'd absolutely come back!

    If you're ever craving African food, then this is a good spot to consider. I've ordered a couple…read moretimes from here and it was decent experience. Their fufu (pounded yam) is made well. I've tried other versions of fufu and recommend the pounded yam. It just works better in your hands when you're trying to mold it into a flat surface to scoop up the egisu lol. Their egisu is solid too. Their goat is delicious. It's very flavorful and tender. The only thing I'd say is to be careful when eating it. They do not remove the bones when cooking the meat. While it's usually not an issue to eat around the bones, there were a handful of times that I accidentally chomped down on a small piece of bone that was otherwise difficult to see. I was worried I cracked a tooth lol Their beef leg and tripe is also good if that's your jam. Tripe isn't for everyone and it has a gamey smell. But i certainly loved it lol. The beef leg is good but be aware that the skin is cooked intact onto the meat. If you enjoy eating the skin then this is a good choice. I honestly thought the skin was tripe until half way through the meal lol

When I called I was treated very rudely, hung up on, and my number was busy. I was told I had to physically come pick up a cash refund -- I do not have a car. However I will say the OWNER personally reached out, apologized sincerely, acknowledged my loyalty as a customer and assured me everything would be taken care of. That meant a lot and shows he does care about his customers. The owner gets 5 stars. The customer service staff and delivery experience gets 1 star. I hope this is a turning point because the food has potential and the owner clearly takes pride in his restaurant. Will update my review based on how things are handled going forward."

    Airport Royal Cuisine was my introduction to Ghanaian cuisine, and it was a solid one! My friends…read moreand I ordered some typical dishes, including jollof rice with goat, fufu with light soup, and red red (fried plantains and beans). It took a while to get our food, but as the dishes were cooked to order, we didn't mind. The verdict: -- Jollof rice with goat: the goat was decently tender and the jollof rice was nice and chewy, with a spicy kick to it! The more you eat it, the more the heat builds. -- Fufu with light soup: it was my first time trying fufu, and I liked it! Sort of reminded me of a "chewier" mashed potato, and it was a great vessel to dip into the light soup. The light soup was flavorful, but SPICY; it was definitely not light! Chicken inside was tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. -- Red red: the least-spiciest dish of the trio, and while I enjoyed the crispy, fried, and sweet plantains, the beans were okay, but it wasn't to my taste. Not bad, but not my favorite. Overall, a nice taste of Ghanaian food at Airport Royal Cuisine. Service was nice and courteous. Ghanaian cuisine is certainly flavorful, but beware the spice!!
