Best WLM Reviews
Everything was so delicious! Best fried plantains and samosas I've had in Colorado. The beef samosas were very well-seasoned and the sweet plantains were cooked to perfection. We also ordered spicy jerk beef with jollof rice, chicken couscous and the "Ghana Must Go" cocktail. The beef was incredibly tender, the cocktail was tasty and all the dishes were packed with flavor. The staff were funny, friendly, and sweet which created a great atmosphere. I would 100% recommend trying this restaurant if you're looking for authentic African food!
Ok, this is hands down one of my favorite spots in the greater Denver area. I even had them cater my sister’s wedding because that’s how much we love their food.
The ambiance is so unique. Very homy - truly a ma and pop shop…even their kids work as servers/hosts sometimes. They always say hi to us on a personal level and even keep up with the marriages/couples within our group.
One thing I will say is be patient and don’t show up too hungry, because it will be a whole experience with occasionally up to a 45min-60min wait for food. But it’s well worth the wait because you know that food is coming out fresh as can be. You can also enjoy some wine or refreshing African beer while you wait.
I recommend the samosas with the spicy sauce (truly a very spicy sauce so be prepared) as an appetizer, spinach stew with lamb (they have a ton of protein options though if lamb isn’t your jam), jollof rice, plantains, and most importantly the spicy jerk stew with chicken (again your choice of protein here) but just be aware they are noooot lying about the spice here so not for the faint of heart, but so good! The food is like nothing you’ve ever had before, and it’s well worth a try.
Could not recommend this place more!!! Go visit the Osei-Fordwuo family!
My sister and I came here for the first time for dinner and MAN was it GREAT! We had the samosas and hibiscus juice. So tasty! For the entree I ate the red snapper with melon and spinach soup, fufu on the side. The soup was very tasty, I would have that by itself. The fish was crispy and flavorful. The service was quick and everyone was so so nice and friendly. We will be back soon!
We ended up here because the original place we were planning to go to was closed. I'm so happy our original plan didn't work out because this place is phenomenal.
My husband, a friend, and I shared:
- Gingerbiss Juice
- Ghana Must Go
- Kelewele
- Cabbage Lamb + Jollof Rice
- Pounded Yam Fufu + Egusi & Goat
- Ugali/Pap Oxtail
Everything was packed with flavor. A couple of my favorite things were the Jollaf rice and the oxtail, but every single thing was incredible.
I wasn't familiar with the cuisine, so I loved that they had a best dishes section of the menu. We also got some great recommendations from the employees.
I will definitely be coming back here!
We enjoyed our fresh coconuts and the Ghana Must Go drink. The goat dishes were delish and meat very tender. The oxtail added to soup with fufu was also great. Warning: spicy means SPICY and extra water required to finish the meal.
When I first walked in the African Restaurant, it felt like home with the warm hospitality received. The location and ambiance of the environment is spectacular ✅… The food is divine, flavorful and eye-appealing as well. Walked out as a satisfied customer and even carried a take out to home.. Literally looking forward to visit soon with my Friends.
Fantastic meal!! Came here on a business lunch and everything was perfect. The flavors are so great. And, being a vegan, I was happy to see some tasty options made entirely with plants. So yum! Give it a try!
Build your own entree with great meat, fish, rice and sauce options. The lamb dish was tender and succulent. Listened to a up-and-coming 5 woman jazz-folk band playing diverse music, with I’m guessing, African style drums. Ghanaian Club beer was a treat!
