    The food always slaps--my God!…read more The Asaro is the best I've had in the states and the Ofada is a close second!

    I've ordered from this restaurant several times because I wanted to give the menu a fair chance and…read moredetermine which dishes were worth returning for. Overall, the food is decent, and the restaurant has always appeared clean when I've visited. However, they are on the expensive side, and the quality and consistency do not always match what they charge. The efo riro is probably the strongest dish I've tried and the main thing I would order again, although it could still use a little more seasoning. The moi moi is also good. I would skip the amala until they improve the preparation. Proper amala should be smooth, but the one I received was extremely lumpy, with small clumps throughout. It tasted like it had been prepared by someone who had not yet mastered the technique. I also tried the ila alasepo, and I would not order it again. It was visually very unappetizing, with a consistency that looked completely wrong for the dish. More importantly, the okra did not draw at all. That is a basic requirement of properly prepared ila alasepo, and if the okra does not draw, it should not be served. I received three pieces of goat meat, and two were bony rib pieces with hardly any meat. At $35, serving mostly bones is unacceptable. It might pass with customers who are unfamiliar with how ila alasepo should look and taste, but anyone who knows the dish will immediately recognize that the execution was a complete failure. My first meat pie was good, but later orders were disappointing. The crust lacked the buttery richness and tenderness a good meat pie should have, the seasoning in the filling tasted off, and the filling needed better binding. The ayamase was excessively oily, while the red stew tasted almost raw and underdeveloped. The meat tasted as though it had been cooked separately and added afterward, rather than being properly braised in the sauce so it could absorb the flavor. The food is not bad across the board, but much of it is bland-adjacent, and the execution is inconsistent. Their prices are their prices, but at that price point, the food should be flavorful, refined, and consistently well prepared. They get a few things right, particularly the efo riro and moi moi, but the overall quality needs to catch up with the cost. They can do better.

    Hey Hey! So I have been wanting to try Two Hommes' in Inglewood for a while now..buttt I'm in the…read moreIE and it's a 1.5 hr drive. I was able to satisfy my craving tonight. It was well worth it. Wait for a table for 1 for 30 minutes give or take, and was informed of the wait! But I do understand why! It was packed, like that but what I loved was seeing the engagement everyone was having with each other with others with the staff as the undertones of RnB music played in the background! With everything going on in the mess up country we living in right now I loved it! Now, the good and bad stuff! The good: the wait staff were attentive and quick. I sat towards the back at the bar, could have easily been forgotten about, never felt I was. They were great! The food: EXCELLENT! The lamb hummus and bread Oh my Lord, a must try the bread alone was , Then the Pildoff(not sure I spelled that right lol) I do not do spicy, it looked beautiful I could see it was packed full of flavor just too spicy for me, I'm weak. Catfish was cooked to perfection and served with black beans. I totally enjoyed my food, the atmosphere and many conversations with laughter and my lemonade. Next time I'm trying the garlic noodles. Now the bad: I honestly do not have anything bad to report...well maybe, wish I wasn't so full and tired I would have stayed and tried another dish. Can't wait to go back! Wishing you two gentleman continued success! Damn good food!

    Outstanding restaurant in all aspects! I love the service and how much the staff cares about their…read morecustomers. But the food is ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS. I am a picky eater and every time I taste something here, I'm a forever fan. I love the seasonings, the options, and the way the food makes me feel like I'm being transported through Ghana while also tasting the comforts of down-home cooking. If you want an exquisite experience, please consider booking a special event in the private dining room. My retirement dinner was hosted there and Chef Mando and Chef JB made sure my celebration was extra special. The ambiance was second to none! I hear their music/entertainment nights are also a big hit.

    If you're ever craving African food, then this is a good spot to consider. I've ordered a couple…read moretimes from here and it was decent experience. Their fufu (pounded yam) is made well. I've tried other versions of fufu and recommend the pounded yam. It just works better in your hands when you're trying to mold it into a flat surface to scoop up the egisu lol. Their egisu is solid too. Their goat is delicious. It's very flavorful and tender. The only thing I'd say is to be careful when eating it. They do not remove the bones when cooking the meat. While it's usually not an issue to eat around the bones, there were a handful of times that I accidentally chomped down on a small piece of bone that was otherwise difficult to see. I was worried I cracked a tooth lol Their beef leg and tripe is also good if that's your jam. Tripe isn't for everyone and it has a gamey smell. But i certainly loved it lol. The beef leg is good but be aware that the skin is cooked intact onto the meat. If you enjoy eating the skin then this is a good choice. I honestly thought the skin was tripe until half way through the meal lol

    "I have been a loyal customer for 5 months ordering consistently. Today I spent $75.29 on an order…read moreand waited 4HOURS delivery. When I called I was treated very rudely, hung up on, and my number was busy. I was told I had to physically come pick up a cash refund -- I do not have a car. However I will say the OWNER personally reached out, apologized sincerely, acknowledged my loyalty as a customer and assured me everything would be taken care of. That meant a lot and shows he does care about his customers. The owner gets 5 stars. The customer service staff and delivery experience gets 1 star. I hope this is a turning point because the food has potential and the owner clearly takes pride in his restaurant. Will update my review based on how things are handled going forward."

    Airport Royal Cuisine was my introduction to Ghanaian cuisine, and it was a solid one! My friends…read moreand I ordered some typical dishes, including jollof rice with goat, fufu with light soup, and red red (fried plantains and beans). It took a while to get our food, but as the dishes were cooked to order, we didn't mind. The verdict: -- Jollof rice with goat: the goat was decently tender and the jollof rice was nice and chewy, with a spicy kick to it! The more you eat it, the more the heat builds. -- Fufu with light soup: it was my first time trying fufu, and I liked it! Sort of reminded me of a "chewier" mashed potato, and it was a great vessel to dip into the light soup. The light soup was flavorful, but SPICY; it was definitely not light! Chicken inside was tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. -- Red red: the least-spiciest dish of the trio, and while I enjoyed the crispy, fried, and sweet plantains, the beans were okay, but it wasn't to my taste. Not bad, but not my favorite. Overall, a nice taste of Ghanaian food at Airport Royal Cuisine. Service was nice and courteous. Ghanaian cuisine is certainly flavorful, but beware the spice!!
