Loved this place will definitely be back!!!!…read more I am Americanized Nigerian- some know what that means Since I don't have immediate access to free Nigerian meals this place is a great substitute. Everything that I ordered was good. I probably won't order the okra stew anymore not enough okra for my liking but that's just a personal issue ‍. Loved the ambiance and the service was great. Ordered my food for 2pm and I think I only had to wait 20 minutes which is not bad compared to other African restaurants I have tried.

It's a bit…read morestrange for the area, since the neighborhood is predominantly Carribean, but thankfully Akwaaba graces us (the name itself means, "Welcome", in Twi). I was told you know it's a legit place since inside, there's hanging one of the most common Ghanaian house decorations, the wall mat with the famous woman smiling from ear to ear, holding a vessel and a large bowl. This place is definitely a hole in the wall, resembling more of a closet on the side of a building than an actual eatery. It's cash only, be prepared, and also you might have to ring the doorbell since the guy isn't always there attentive waiting at the door. Prices were fair for what they were offering. We got the Banku with okra soup and Waakye with goat meat. Both were legit, according to my friend, and reminded him of home so much that he closed his eyes. He said we definitely need to go back.

This tiny unassuming African spot on the Main Street in Springfield is one such establishment. If you asked me where the very best grilled chicken I could have is I would point you here and tell you to ignore the fact that it was African, if you asked me for the very best African food I would say there are many great places and this is one of the absolute best! Karen, the owner and chef and Emanuel her brother are kind and well versed in hospitality, a fact that her formal and informal training will prove if you are fortunate enough to meet them. The spices, the smells and the flavors are what Africa is known for and the first thing they will tell you is that everything is cooked to order so don't expect it to just be ready but I promise you it's worth twice the amount of time (it wasn't too long by the way) and you truly feel as though you have been invited into their home. With no hyperbole this is not just some of the very best African food I've had it's some of the very best food I've ever had and I cannot wait to return.

They use a lot of garlic on everything. It was a one and done. If you enjoy garlic, then it's for you. Restaraunt itself smells bad. It's not the most hygienic place. It's very a mom and pop, hole in the wall kinda place. I wouldn't dine in because of the smell.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and my first impression of Adebola was a…read morenegative one. I was excited when I saw an African restaurant had opened up in Woodbridge Mall as they are not common in the area and I am a big fan of having diverse culinary choices. I also like supporting mom and pop businesses, so I walked in with lots of enthusiasm - which vanished fairly quickly. At first, I was actually a bit amused. The furniture looks like it was meant for a different business with big pink chairs and a decor that felt a bit more "Alice in Wonderland" than I had expected. I then looked behind the counter and there was a man there who looked up, looked at me, kind of made a resigned sigh then...went back to looking at his phone. Um...okay? I walked up to the counter and tried to figure out what I was going to order. I asked the man about a menu and he made a subtle nod at the paper menu pile and then got up and walked to the back, as if I was really bugging him. A lady then came out and I thought "Okay, maybe she'll help me?" Yeah, no. I started asking about the menu and she explained nothing, only giving me some really irritated looks. The problem is, the menu had no descriptions or prices. It was hard to tell if you did a "build a bowl/meal" type thing or just ordered a "#1 or #2" etc. Finally I decided to just choose some beef tripe and rice and roll with it. Interestingly, as I stood there I checked in to Yelp via the app, and I'm guessing she saw this because when I looked up she was suddenly smiling as she handed me my food, asking me to visit again. I wound up taking the food home and...it was terrible. The tripe was SO tough. The rice was...okay but the flavor didn't really grab me. The Fufu included with the meal was...very odd in flavor. It tasted almost like herbal medicine which was strange. I have had Fufu at a restaurant in Union before and it tasted nothing like this. I generally try to find the positive in places I go to, but between the disdainful service and the quality of the food, I cannot in good conscience recommend this place, a fact that makes me very sad.

The jollof rice was very good, with a mild smokiness and good flavor from the peppers. The price I…read morepaid was a little high for the portion ($15+tax). Service was friendly and took maybe 10 minutes from placing my order to being ready. The menu on grubhub is much easier to read because it was challenging using their paper menu and sign board in store. Ambiance inside was antiquated but okay. Clearly a to go place even inside the Woodbridge mall on a busy Saturday.

There was no acknowledgment of me even entering the space and no direction on ordering. After figuring it out, I ordered my food, I also informed them I would be eating in then took my seat directly across from the register with my drink. I watched people come and go and still nothing, Eye contact was made with the man on the register gesturing a questioning "where's my food" which he said he was checking and it would be ready shortly. After an hour and 15 minutes and my again, approaching the register, they grabbed a bag from the side. I payed full price for the items and reminded them it was eat-in. At this point I'm over it! A half hearted apology was offered from someone that emerged from the back/ kitchen area. I just took my items to eat at home. When I it to my car in the back, someone comes out with a patty in a brown bag for my wait. That said, the service was not good and took way from the entire experience. Food was okay after getting home practically starving.

It is Nigerian style meat pie, slightly different from the British style most people are used to. 4) Down side is their service, which is very poor. Come here for takeout only. You will enjoy the food.
