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!

GHANA 🇬🇭
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.

📍 Accra Restaurant, 2041 Davidson Avenue, University Heights, Bronx.

Authentic african food, best Jollof Rice. They give you a lot of food. One order can last two days. It's worth the trip.
