I had the rice and beans with meat stew and a few eggs.... DELICIOUS! I never had the rice and beans because I am so hooked on joloff & meat stew.. it was so damn good. I wish all restaurants was generous how they are when making your plate. I hate that I moved back to Brooklyn I miss eating here every other few days it’s so damn good! Please put one in Brooklyn it’s much needed I am hooked for life!

Dispatch from University Heights, Bronx:
Especially on those days when the sun shines bright, it always takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the dim environs of Accra Restaurant after coming in from Davidson Avenue. Without much light penetrating the tinted front windows, it has that immediate feel of many West African restaurants in the Bronx and beyond. They had expanded the chain south in the borough and in Harlem as well, but are back down to two locations after the 165th Street closed recently.
In the past ten years at the original spot, not much has changed besides successive coats of blue paint to cover graffiti and a brand new logo on the awning which is not reflected in the photo here. This image is reflective of the food however, a Ghanaian flag and its black star superimposed on the continent of Africa. On any day you are likely to find options to eat from many West African countries and other languages not used in Ghana being spoken by customers.
A recent visit with friends was a chance to sample a few different things and see where the restaurant had evolved since opening other locations and gaining some traction with their social media. Thankfully the quality of everything has not changed and they were still not catering to crowds without experience eating these foods.

Authentic african food, best Jollof Rice. They give you a lot of food. One order can last two days. It's worth the trip.
The food was very tasty. There were so many choices that I had a hard time making up my mind on what I wanted. I came around lunch time so it was very busy. I stood in line for about 30-35 min. There were 3 ladies serving customers. Whoever is taking your order is the one you have to pay. I noticed everyone was paying cash. I had cash as well, so I'm not sure if they accept card. The toilet was very clean.
If you want a unique dining expreince for the kind of food you can't get back home I would try this place! Many of the items I didn't know what they were and the language barrier makes it a little challenging. No menu, no prices, just point and eat. I think I got chicken thighs that were a little tough, spinach of some kind and maybe pigeon peas. My plate was $15 and I got a loaf of bread from a local bakery for $5 here at the same time. Only men were eating/ordering at this establishment and all of them I came into contact with non-English speakers to the staff.
I had the peanut butter soup with rice. Delicious, good portion sizes. Assorted meat of Turkey, cow feet, and goat meat. I saw they had fish in there but they didn't give me fish. Oh well. Good service, nice atmosphere
The food good but the lady at the counter got a mean face and the place could use some pick me up but food is good tho

They give really good portion size. I had the peanut butter soup with assorted meat - turkey, chicken, tripe and maybe goat meat. Good flavor, good service
Their food is delicious just like home made food

This is the restaurant for African food. Majorly west African food. Accra and Nigerian food. Rice, eba, fufu etc.
Due to COVID-19 there is no eat in, only buy and take away. The staff are very supportive and patient.
Ask of Dahiana, she is a super nice person.
THE FOOD!! I haven’t had authentic Ghanaian food in a long time, and this was just amazing! A friend recommended the restaurant to us and I was beyond impressed.
I love the food presentation, you get to see everything on display and get exactly what you order on the spot. The sitting area on the back was also quiet and relaxing. I had a great time! I’ll definitely be back anytime I’m in the area
