    Okra Stew, Banku and sorrel for two!
    Grace S.

    Sankofa - An Ghanaian eatery in West Broward Parking: actually, you don't need parking. The establishment is kitchen only. So you order ahead and when you arrive, they bring the food out to your car. Drinks: we had the traditional sorrel and it was rich, delicious and well priced! Food: We both had Okra Stew with Banku. It was authentic and largely delicious. We would have liked more flavor. Not more salt, just more spices. The menu offered a host of authentic dishes from Ghana. I'd say this is the best you can get in South Florida Service: The Owner, a Ghanaian, was extremely nice and patient with us asking questions over the phone. Atmosphere/vibe: it is takeout only so no comment on vibe... Age group: same as above... Bathroom: same as above.... Return: For sure! Especially when craving authentic African food

    Authentic fresh Fante Kenkey!
    Hawa S.

    A classic Ghanaian delicacy that never disappoints! Fante Kenkey is a must-try for lovers of authentic Ghanaian cuisine. Its delicate balance of tanginess, softness, and deep-rooted tradition makes it a standout dish. The plantain leaves impart a subtle earthy fragrance, enhancing the flavor and giving me the nostalgic feeling of being home in Ghana. Thank you Sankofa Kitchen International for bringing delicious authentic Ghanaian food such as this Fante Kenkey to South Florida!

    Pleasant staff. Food was ready before I got there. Very difficult to find location but it's worth it. Delicious goat soup and yam.

    White rice

    The food was delicious and great quality. Excellent service! I ordered Waakye with goat stew and okra soup.

    Red red and plantains. The fish and stew was delicious too!!

    I came to Dar Tajine in Plantation with a good friend of mine, and we truly dined like kings. This…read morewas one of those meals that stays with you, because everything came together so beautifully. The food was wonderful from start to finish, and the atmosphere made the experience even more special. There was something about the ambiance that took me right back to France, to those moments of breaking bread with my North African friends, surrounded by warmth, conversation, and the kind of hospitality that makes a place feel familiar the moment you walk in. I felt right at home. Fatima deserves special recognition. She was so kind to me and made me feel completely welcome. Her presence was gentle, warm, and sincere, and it elevated the entire experience. It honestly felt like I was being looked after at my Moroccan auntie's house. That kind of feeling cannot be faked, and it means a great deal. As for the food, it was amazing. The pastilla with chicken and almonds, dusted with sugar and cinnamon, was absolutely delicious, with that beautiful balance of savory richness and gentle sweetness that makes the dish so memorable. The msemmen was warm, comforting, and deeply satisfying. The merguez tajine was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The Moroccan harira had that soulful, nourishing quality that makes a great soup feel like part of the heart of the meal. The zaalouk was excellent as well, rich and flavorful and a perfect addition to everything else on the table. Dar Tajine gave us more than a meal. It gave us an experience filled with warmth, flavor, generosity, and heart. The food was amazing, the hospitality was genuine, and Fatima made a lasting impression. This place deserves real praise, and I would gladly return.

    Service: This was fine. We choose the outdoor seating which…read morewe prefer so it's hard to tell what others around us were being served or doing but they were nice enough. One thing I don't like is when I order at a place and no one comes to check in or offer a 2nd round of drinks. But the drinks were super expensive compared to other spots/lounges on the Boulevard. The Smokey old fashioned tasted like it was made with a mixed drink kit and they just had to add water. The drink I got was also pretty watered down tasting and also $16 each. I would have liked to see what else they offered, but I'm not sure overall that it's worth it. Food: I ordered an appetizer of plantains done "tapas" style which were awesome (9/10) and my boyfriend got the skewered steak but for some reason, they had to warn us it's not on a skewer after all and asked if we still wanted it. Well it practically looked like a plate of sides (cut up onions, tomatoes and beef) that someone would build a pita or some kind of taco (3/10). Was not worth $17. Should have come with some bread or starch, but that was extra. Ambiance: Music was fine but again, we were outside so it's hard to tell what it would be like from the inside. I just wish they could price their drinks and meals closer to other places in the area. I could have gotten a HUGE plate of shrimp nachos or 2 happy hour apps or 2 drinks from anywhere else for the price of 1 item from here. Speaking of which, it appears Happy Hour is 2 days or the week? Hopefully they will be a little more active online and I'll have a reason to return....Kwanzaa?? ‍!

    Passing by with some, we couldn't help be drawn in by the afrobeats music. Walking in, what a vibe!…read moreWith no cover charge, from the decor to the beats, it definitely got us bumping! While the (small) dance floor was empty, over the time of just dancing to the music it filled out and got fun. The DJs know what they're doing! Can't wait to go back.

I also purchased Crunchie candy bars and a small bag of Flings which are shaped like cheese curls. The Flings have a unique flavor and I like it. The Crunchie bar is very crunchy with a buttery, toffee and caramel flavor. Keep the candy bar in the fridge for the crisp taste. The spinach with feta cheese is the best I have tasted. If you like feta and spinach, I do recommend you to try. I will be going back.

I should've came months ago when he told me because I've been missing out. My boyfriend and I popped in on a Sunday shortly after they opened and were immediately greeted by a smiling, friendly woman wearing a Florida Panthers (Go Cats!) shirt so I already knew I was going to enjoy this place. The inside is super clean, organized and really easy to order. They have some tables outside, however we were planning on eating them down by the beach. As we stood there trying to decide which pies we wanted, she was sooo patient with us. Then, along came another smiling, friendly gentleman and I asked them both for help picking my third pie because I simply couldn't decide. We went with the chicken curry, lamb curry and beef steak (having to refrain myself from buying more)! Holy molyyyyyy these pies are beyondddd delicious. This is probably the only time I'll admit that the more crumbs I had on my shirt, the better! I have never tasted a more flaky, buttery, perfectly baked pastry like that in my life! The filling inside of each pie was fresh, hot, and absolutely made with LOVE! Both the chicken and lamb meat were sooo tender it made it so easy to enjoy; each bite we kept saying to each other: "wow!! this is good!!!" I'm kicking myself for not going back for more on my way home, but I cannot wait to visit again and SOON. This spot is truly one of a kind and I'll be thinking about these pies until I get back over there to try more of the options they have. I will be recommending this spot to any person I get the chance to tell! Yum yum yum!

    Very disappointed with this experience…read more This was my third time purchasing biltong from this business. I spent approximately $150 on five slabs because I was purchasing them as a gift for someone else. There is an important detail that I want to clarify because the owner's response does not accurately describe what happened. I actually placed this order online. When I went to pick it up, I had to wait approximately 20 minutes for the order to be prepared. The biltong was still not vacuum-sealed when I received it. The owner later stated that online orders are vacuum-sealed because they may spend several days in transit. That makes this situation even more frustrating because this WAS an online order. If I had been told that my order was not going to be vacuum-sealed, I absolutely would have requested it, especially because I was sending the biltong to someone else as a gift. I was also a repeat customer. This was my third purchase from the store, and my previous biltong purchases had been vacuum-sealed without me having to specifically request it. I therefore had no reason to believe I suddenly needed to ask for something that had been done with my previous purchases. I took the biltong home and refrigerated it as instructed. Within approximately three days, all five slabs developed extensive mold, including green mold. I contacted the business because I had spent $150 on a product that I could no longer comfortably give as a gift. The owner called me back and told me they would not replace the biltong because it should have been kept refrigerated. The problem with that explanation is that it WAS refrigerated. The business later explained that the biltong is made without preservatives, that proper refrigeration is required, that they perform monthly quality-control testing, and that they cannot control how a perishable product is handled after it leaves their possession. I understand that a business cannot control everything after a product leaves the store. However, I followed the refrigeration instructions, and I contacted them only about three days after receiving the product. I was not asking for a replacement months later. I was reporting extensive mold, including green mold, on a $150 purchase almost immediately after receiving it. There is also a contradiction in the explanation regarding vacuum sealing. I was told online orders are vacuum-sealed because they can spend several days in transit. My order was an online order, yet it was not vacuum-sealed. I even waited approximately 20 minutes for the order, and nobody told me that the slabs would not be vacuum-sealed or that I needed to specifically request it. Had I known, I would have absolutely requested vacuum sealing because I was sending the biltong to someone else. I am not claiming that I can personally determine exactly what caused the mold. I am stating the facts of my experience: this was an online order, I spent approximately $150 on five slabs as a gift, I waited for the order to be prepared, the slabs were not vacuum-sealed, I refrigerated them as instructed, and within approximately three days they developed extensive mold, including green mold. As a repeat customer, I expected better communication and better customer service. Instead, I was left with $150 worth of biltong that I could not comfortably give as a gift, and the business refused to replace it. I am posting this review so potential customers can have the complete picture and make their own decision.

I specifically went there for the Indian samosas and the Russian and slap chips. My spouse is South African and although we have tried several times to make slap chips we can't quite get it right. Food came quickly and was nice and hot, the samosas were perfect, spice level and crispness of the pastry. Russian and slap chips were delicious as well. I got to meet and chat to both of the owners who were very friendly. Would love to come back if we move down to Florida.

It's a bit of a drive for us from Miami, but we loved it so much we definitely plan on another visit. My friend was not as familiar to Ethiopian food, and was rather hesitant about using his hands. The waitress kindly provided cutlery for him. He totally love his lamb. Well spiced, flavorful and tender. I had the vegetarian combo, and I love the chickpea flour and the kale. I find the food here to be not as spicy as other Ethiopians I had tried before, and the ijera milder as well, with less fermented sourness. The staff is very nice and friendly. The interior is quite modern. They even have a handwashing station to make it convenient to wash your hands before and after your meal. My only complain is they only open for dinner. Some days they are open for lunch but with a brunch menu that is more Americanized. I hope eventually they will be extending the Ethiopian menu to lunch as well.
