I was looking forward to trying this restaurant! When I arrived I parked in a small lot nearby. I walked into the cutest restaurant. I was served by Nefertiti, and she was awesome! I ordered: Ghana Punch Shrimp Tacos Chicken rasta pasta Mama G Oxtails Mango Habanero wings The food was excellent! My favorite definitely was the oxtail! I loved this restaurant and need to return! read more

Ofori's World Cuisine - Uno Time! - Caribbean Near Me - Peekskill, New York

We were here for the soft menu opening. I am so excited for this place!!! The food is unbelievably good and the service and attention are incredibly passionate. The restaurant is new, so they are still working out some kinks on timing, so it's important to be patient. They will start lunch service and brunch soon. The menu is really excellent and tailors to many different tastes, really embodying the "world cuisine" In the title. Chips and salsa were brought to the table right after you sit down. Drink orders come soon after. The cocktails are incredibly creative, tasty, and potent. Remember to designate a driver beforehand or you could get carried away and end up in an Uber. My favorite surprise was finding a picture of the crazy girlfriend in the bottom of my Captain Lawrence IPA. We had: Chicken wings Coconut shrimp Lobster bisque (with grilled cheese) Spaghetti carbonara Jerk chicken Jollof rice Chicken tacos (corn tortillas) Each dish was absolutely fantastic. Warning on the jerk chicken - it has a serious kick for the faint of heart. Also, the chicken was dark meat only (personally, my favorite, but may not be for everyone). Chicken wings weren't spicy at all and not overly crispy, just how I expected them. They were perfect. I wouldn't have minded extra spice, but they rocked, nonetheless. The lobster bisque had a ton of flavor and you could get little bites of the lobster throughout the bowl. I thoroughly enjoyed the soup. The grilled cheese was a nice touch for those that like to dip. Jollof rice had deep flavor and A perfectly cooked texture. The chicken tacos come in soft flour tortillas and also had great flavor. The coconut shrimp were off the hook. They were crispy, with a sweet taste of coconut, and were perfectly matched with the accompanying dip. Kudos to the all gender bathrooms!!! Walter, Tara, and Jessica made us feel right at home and were incredibly friendly. We would come back just to hang out with them. There is a great private room in the back that's a bit quieter than the main area, which was very loud and rocking on this first night. The private room has a great chandelier and potential. I really love the energy and vibe in this place. Welcome to the neighborhood and I can't wait to come back and bring more people with me. read more

Best Ghanaian fusion!!! Family and I enjoyed everything on the menu (coconut shrimp, Cajun mac n cheese, fried okra, jerk chicken, Ghanachanga, Mama G oxtail, Oceana Bounty). The chef put his foot in it, lol. We loved the fusion of world's cuisine mixed with Ghanaian flavors. Definitely coming back as a local. Compliments to the chef for great food, great vibes, and oh let me not forget the drinks were on POINT!!! Ghana Punch yes please!! Medasi read more

All of the food is GREAT here. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. My fish is always crispy, fresh and NEVER bland. The jerk chicken is delicious...a perfect fusion of flavors from across the globe! The calamari...don't get me started . I wish I took a picture of the fufu and goat soup! Love the service with friendly staff. I get my food in a timely manner, and they are so accommodating when it comes to my dietary needs. Also, the Chef (who happens to be a FOOD NETWORK STAR) comes out to check on his customers very often. Not very common in restaurants out here. And it should be. Thanks, Chef Lawrence! Ambiance: Family and friends welcome, with great music read more

Food was delicious , service was excellent and the ambiance was spot on. This is a gem of a place and it's worth the drive and a try. The food portion sizes are value for money read more

Food was delicious! It's the perfect blend of familiar and different. The calamari was fried to perfection and paired with a tasty habanero dipping sauce. The guanachanga (fried burrito) with brisket was stellar, even tasted good as leftovers. Give it a try, the food will not disappoint! Great to have something new in Peekskill read more

Where do I start upon entering this establishment you are greeted by amazing service and friendly faces. The ambience is very neutral and it is a great place for a date brunch or even a little nightlife. The service is incredible. Only to match the savory, unique and delicious meals that are served, we even had the owner and chef present us with our meals which gave it that extra special touch. I cannot begin to rave about the entrées and appetizers and drinks. Everything was incredible. We even asked the chef if he had a couch to sleep off the food coma from this incredible food one thing that was noticeable was the fusion that the chef Ofori did with his Ghanaian roots and other cultures, such as tacos, and also jerk chicken. To say the least this is a must try if you are a foodie or just someone who wants a Great Meal! read more

The atmosphere gives one a cool relaxed feeling. The coconut shrimp appetizers wer out of this world. Unfortunately they didn't have Cow Foot soup, as I suppose it's so rarely ordered (Similar to all other places I've encountered in Westchester). The oxtail soup was superb and the plantains were absolutely delectable. We had the rice as a side which complemented the experience. read more

I am hard to impress an impress they did! I had shrimp and grits. I was surprised by how delightfully spicy the sauce was. Not dumbed down for the American palate but when mixed into the grits the flavors were scrumptiously well balanced. My leftovers made a great lunch the next day. Very friendly staff. Chef came out to ensure we liked it! read more

It's a great addition to the Peekskill area. The atmosphere is fun! Great music! Friendly and attentive staff And the food..... Where to start? CHICKEN If you love chicken wings you have to try the mango habanero. Now I've tried 2 entrees so far. And they were both excellent. 1st was the Ghanachanga. It's their version of a chimichanga with jollof rice and steak on the inside. It's very filling delicious and only $13. Then there was the the Ghana style jerk chicken. I don't even know where to start with this. All I can say is YES. It was juicy, flavorful and definitely brought the Heat . (Not overpowering though) I will definitely be back. And keep y'all updated!!! read more

My husband and I stumbled on Ofori's a few months ago and we cannot get enough. First of all, there are a ton of great food options in the area but Ofori's is one of a kind! The food is incredibly fresh, delicious and full of flavor. We love to eat food from all over the world, and Ofori's is truly special. Great good portions, fair prices and excellent customer service. We order food from here 1-2x a week, it's that good! So far my favorite are the brisket tacos with crispy corn shells, the peanut oxtail soup, the lobster bisque with grilled cheese and queso blanco dip. You can't go wrong. I highly recommend giving this place a shot if you want a truly unique experience. read more

Ofori's World Cuisine - Oxtail dinner with plantains - Caribbean Near Me - Peekskill, New York

I saw this place as I was walking by and decided to check it out. Wow. A Mexican, Caribbean, African, and American fusion restaurant. I have never had food like this before in my life. I wasn't sure I'd like it. I didn't like it. I LOVED IT. As my entree, I ordered goat peanut soup. The savoriness of the soup was complimented by some earthy umami from the goat, which was nice and tender. The soup had a rich broth with rice and solid chunks of meat mixed in. It was very filling and hearty. The soup was served in a small, hot, metal pot with an empty bowl next to it and a ladle. What you do is dip your ladle in the pot and spoon it into the bowl yourself. The metal pot keeps your soup from going cold in the bowl. For dessert, I ordered the fried banana cheesecake. I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it would be a slice of New York cheesecake with slices of fried banana on top. It was actually a slice of cheesecake made with pureed banana and cream cheese that was deep-fried and topped with chocolate syrup. It was positively decadent. It was definitely sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. I definitely liked it. They had a live DJ there. It was kinda cool. It's nice to have some music while I eat. My only complaint was that it was too loud. If you get easily overstimulated, I'd eat somewhere else. Otherwise, the music was kind of a nice touch. Overall, I'd give this place a 10/10. The food was absolutely superb, and it was a wonderful experience. Will definitely go again! read more

OMG. I had a great meal here, startimg with the jerk chicken and amazing jalapeno and cilantro sauce (I got it on the side). The vegetable was so scrumptous I had to work at not eating it all at once! The house salad was very good but I might ask for the dressing on the side in case you don't like it so moist. I have some food restrictions and the waitress checked on some food prep questions I had (instead of guessing - which is good) and the food came out just as I asked. read more

The food was amazing, filled with so much favor and passion. Drinks were good and service was very accommodating. The restaurant is cute and intimate inside with music playing. I'd definitely come back to try other delicious dishes. At the end of our meal, the owner stopped by our table and spoke with us. He was very kind and down to earth. Check this location out if you love flavorful unique dishes! read more

Love love love this restaurant. The happy hour deals are such a steal. Everything was absolutely delicious with flavors that were so flavorful, full of spices and well balanced. I recommend the oxtail, jerk chicken and coconut shrimp. read more

We walked in and a server shook our hands and said "Welcome"....we were impressed from the start. We ordered tacos [not quite ready to order their Ghanan cuisine] and got 3 tacos per order -- small ones but really tasty. The owner Lawrence Ofori came around to be sure all was OK -- we love that. When we asked about some of his Ghanan cuisine, he brought us a small dish of his curry rice to try. It was very good. There's only one complaint: the background music was so loud -- too loud for us! Luckily we were able to sit at the window...far from the speakers. Although still crazy loud, it was manageable. We'll be back but only if that front window tablet is available -- or if the music is less loud! read more

My new favorite restaurant in Peekskill ! The coconut shrimp appetizer is a must. The curry panko prosciutto stuffed chicken with pesto cream is to die for. The jollof rice was so flavorful. Owner / chef is a total sweetheart! I will definitely go back and highly recommend you check it out for yourselves. read more

My wife and I ate at Ofori last night, and I wanted to leave a review while it was fresh on my mind. The food here is spectacular; the best meal I've had out in a very long time. We started with the calamari and the jerk chicken wings. The calamari was cooked perfectly. Likely the best calamari I've ever had. The wings were also excellent; the jerk sauce was smoky, sweet, and spicy all at once. Delicious. I had the ox tail. Mind blowing good. Despite being a restaurant, the ox tail felt like a home cooked meal. The jollof rice it came with-addictive. So incredibly delicious. My wife had the branzino. The spices used were unlike anything we've had. I'm not a branzino fan; next time I go to Ofori, I will likely order the branzino. Additionally, Mr. Ofori is extremely nice, the ambiance was chill, the service was exceptional, and there is a parking lot within 25 feet of the restaurant. Absolutely highly recommend Ofori World Cuisine. Mr. Ofori will not disappoint. read more

My husband and I had a FABULOUS meal at Ofori last night. Great service: we were welcomed warmly at the door by the bartender/server who took great care of us all evening--checking in just often enough. The chef even came out at the end of our meal to make sure we had enjoyed it--such a nice touch. We had a very hard time deciding what to order, but were SO glad we ordered the calamari to start--perfectly crispy and served with two great dipping sauces: marinara and a to-die-for-but-didn't-kill-us-with-heat habanero sauce. We settled on the fried burrito (amazing flavors and served with a garlicky sauce), and fufu with spinach soup and the fish of the day, which was a perfectly seasoned red snapper. Even though it came with the bones and head intact, it was easy to cut away the tender white fish. Our only regret: no room for dessert! read more

The jerk chicken was the best I have ever eaten.Very large portions ofvery tasty tasty food. The cocktails were also excellent. Yhe chef was very attentive and staff was pleasant and helpful. I can't wait to go back and sample another of their dishes read more

Came in for lunch with a friend. We both had the jerk chicken with jollof rice. The food was delicious and the service was great.

I highly recommend Oforis restaurant in Peekskill NY. The flavors are so fresh. Hands down the best fish (shark) tacos ever. Homemade taco the tangy sauce and nice chunks of breaded fried fish. We also had a side of plantains with another spicy fresh sauce. Delicious. The jollof rice was another surprice with a delicious spicy past. Lots of fresh and plenty of flavors. We also met the chef and we had a few laughs. We had lots of questions to ask him about his experience on the food network Chops. He has a warm gentle smile. Such a nice man. Thanks for a great meal. Best of luck with your restaurant. I loved it. We will be back. read more
