5 Star Rating Excellent food and it's very cheap too. Me and my friends hadn't tried Ghanaian food before but the ladies who served us let us sample everything before we ordered. The service is way above and beyond what you expect from a place like this, and the food was delicious. Whenever I visit Harlem again I'll make sure to come by this place!

5 Star Rating I recently dined at Accra in the Bronx, and it was an incredible experience! The restaurant offers fantastic quality food at very affordable prices. The portions are generous, and every bite was crafted to perfection. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. If you're looking for delicious, authentic Ghanaian well-prepared food without breaking the bank, Accra is the place to go. Highly recommend!

5 Star Rating Such amazing people and great food. My friend and I were invited inside, and since it was our first time, the owner gave recommendations and explained how ordering works. The cook behind the counter set us up with a perfect assortment of foods and drinks to try. Their Egusi was so good, and the plantain fufu too! I loved the fried fish and the Waakye, and I’ll definitely be back to try everything I missed the first time. Definitely get their ginger beer, it was some of the most fresh I’ve ever had — their hibiscus drink is great too. Try this place out!!

4 Star Rating The third time ordering here and I must say, the first time I was disappointed in the taste of the jollof rice with fish, which wasn’t good at all. Second and third times I got okra soup with plantain fufu OMG amazing, and it was hot, fresh and so delicious. The guy I spoke to yesterday Darwin the owner’s brother, he was so welcoming and took the timeout to talk to me about food and catering, his attitude would make me continue to support this restaurant. The female server yesterday yelled at a male customer that didn’t hear or understand what she said to him and asked her to repeat. That made me upset because the man was so polite and well dressed, his face changed, he was shocked and held his composure.

5 Star Rating Amazing hot Buffet vegan comfort soul food! Super tasty and spice was on point (quite often the season of vegan food could get over spicy). As the food goes by weight, be a prescriptive with the amount of food you want to try. Staff is friendly and there are so many sweet and smoothie options. Definitely will get back as the “chicken” jerk and drumstick were so good. There is a park close by that is a great option to eat besides space inside the store. I got a carrot cake and a juice to go and check was about $21.

2 Star Rating I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday. The food looked delicious, and it was. However, there was no menu, and when I asked about the dishes that weren't obvious, the woman behind the counter seemed bothered. I could feel her frustration, and a line started to form. I didn't want to hold anyone up, so I quickly placed my order. If this was any other establishment, there would be a visible menu listing the specials of the day, the food would be labeled, and the customer service would have been stellar. I'll never understand why people who get annoyed easily or aren't willing to help work in customer service.

5 Star Rating The food here is everything!! Best vegan “meat” in nyc. Perfectly spiced and the texture is perfect. It won’t get rubbery like other vegan food spots. Recently started getting juices and smoothies here too!! And oh my god, the juice guy is a genius! I’ve just been telling him one or two ingredients I’m feeling and he says he knows exactly what to make and then makes magic. Highly recommend 💯

4 Star Rating I went there on May 12, 2024. I picked up some Mother's Day food for my Aunt. I ordered oxtails with okra and white rice. I got my Aunt oxtails with coconut rice, peas, and sweet potatoes. The food had wonderful flavor and you could tell they made their browning sauce because it was a little too sweet for me, that and the fact the plates were too small is the only thing I didn't like. My Aunt enjoyed every bite. Donald was so nice over the phone and when I got there. I would go there again. They get a 🤩 emoji from me. Excuse the photo we started eating then I remember to take a picture.

5 Star Rating The food was wonderful! I had shrimp roti, the curry was spicy and flavorful, the shrimp were large and the portion size was generous. The hibiscus lemonade was so delicious, I would drink that everyday if I could. I took yummy coconut pineapple cake home for dessert. Service was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is very small, could seat about nine people family style, at one long table. The four stars for atmosphere instead of five is for the heat. On a hot day as it was, the air conditioning was not adequate for comfort. They are planning to put in more fans soon, which would help.

2 Star Rating I first came across this restaurant’s food at an event I attended. A few of their dishes was a part of the catering. Their food was absolutely delicious I had the yams, fried whitening fish, and collard greens. Let me warn you if their collard greens were SPICY. I don’t do spices. Even many of the people who love spices also stated it was to spicy. I was in the area and decided to order for lunch. I visited the restaurant in October 2023. I placed my order online so it could be ready for pick up when I arrived. I was disappointed to learn the fried whiting fish is only available through their catering menu. I decided to order the stewed chicken, coconut peas and rice, steamed cabbage, yams, macaroni & cheese, cornbread, and lemonade. When I arrived to the restaurant, I noticed it’s not a sit-down restaurant. Seems like you pick up and go. I was greeted by staff told them I was picking up and they let me know my order was ready. I was so eager to dig into my food. I was expecting the Caribbean flavors and was let down and disappointed in my meal. I even shared with my coworker for her opinion. The best thing out of everything I ordered was the yams and lemonade. The chicken was bland and had no flavor. The peas and rice was okay. The cabbage wasn’t cooked and still too crunchy again no seasoning/flavor. The macaroni and cheese wasn’t good. The cornbread was okay, it has pineapple in it. I don’t think I’ll return and if I do it’ll only be for the yams and lemonade. This didn’t taste anything like Caribbean cuisine. The portion of the food was also really small. My total was about $36.00. This location is accessible via public transportation.

5 Star Rating Seafood at here is so incredible fresh. You order then the chef cooked in front of you. Mussel, crab legs, sea bass, scallops, jumbo shrimp, salmon… they have everything. And option to choose your favorite vegetables. Their grilled seafood is so delicious. Healthy option for steaming as well. Their homemade olive is a must try!! The chef is so nice and attentive. I recommend everyone!!

5 Star Rating I recently visited City Fresh Market and had the pleasure of trying their steamed salmon and shrimp with vegetables, and I have to say it was absolutely delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the shrimp were juicy and flavorful. The vegetables were also fresh and cooked to perfection. I appreciated how healthy and satisfying the meal was, and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend trying the seafood dishes at City Fresh Market, it exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be coming back for more.!!!
