About this place
Waakye Joint offers an immersive foray into vibrant Ghanaian cuisine, celebrated for its renowned waakye paired with various enticing accompaniments. The menu extends beyond the traditional, spotlighting dishes such as jollof rice and yams harmonized with wild spinach—a must-try for those with an adventurous palate. The interiors cast a warm, inviting glow, positioning it as a visually appealing option amidst the typical run-down palate of many West African takeouts. Despite its captivating menu, the service can be hit-or-miss, with some staff known for their warmth and eagerness to introduce newcomers to Ghanaian delights, while others might fall short in delivering congeniality consistently. Efficiency varies widely, especially during peak hours, which calls for improvement. Transparency in pricing, marred by the absence of clear signage, often propels diners to persistently inquire, overshadowing what is otherwise a flavorful culinary escape.
