Mar 13, 2026"One student recommended me Fufu, a soft cassava or plantain dough, and Egusi Soup, which must be eaten by hand. She immediately bought it for me, and when I got home, I instantly enjoyed it. It was so healthy and strong that I cleared my sinuses and felt I was in a clear blue sky. Natural foods really help, and I recommend Accra for brining back the tradition of eating with hands in a diverse community."

Mar 13, 2026"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."

Feb 06, 2026"GHANA Excerpt from Eat the World NYC: 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. 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. This image is reflective of the food, 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. Thankfully the quality of everything has not changed and they were still not catering to crowds without experience eating these foods."
