    Order the grilled tilapia, it’s the best you’ll ever have in your life. Trust me. I lie in bed at night thinking about it. If you want to feel buzzy, get a Vody on the side, you won’t be disappointed. 12/5 stars recommend!!

    Their fish is really delicious. Wish they were more structured in terms of pricing though. Some days the fish is 50 cedis, some days it’s 60 and other days it’s 45 and they don’t issue receipts so you just have to accept whatever they tell you the price is.

    Very poor service. Workers unprofessional and house flies omg. Health services needs to look into the hygienic conditions of the place because the house flies are everywhere chairs, tables even on the floor. Very nasty and unhealthy. Food took forever and we had to leave without it after realizing the nature of the flies and unprofessional workers who were just so laid back.

    Nice grills and welcoming waiters. I would however wish they could get the place smelling good n not stuffy at times. I could see tiny bones on the floor. I recommend vacuum cleaning the bones. Nonetheless I enjoyed my meal..

    Their tilapia is juicy, well marinated and the size is big enough for two people. It costs ghc40 for the tilapia,banku is ghc2 and a portion of fried yam is ghc5. The yam was alittle burnt but it was crispy and very nice. It's one of the best tilapia joint . I will surely recommend for group hangout

    The Talapia is always on point. Dry on the outside, succulent and moist on the inside. Their pepper is also delicious. But the FLIES, so many flies. I would go much more often if there were not hundreds of flies touching everything from the plates to the bowls and even the utensils. 😫. There are all sorts of devices and measures that can be used to reduce or eliminate the flies but the staff seem so use to it they don’t even flinch when the flies land on them. The management need to do something.

    Efficient service from the Philipo's team. However more attention should be paid to the spicing and thorough grilling of their delicious tilapia to stay on top of the market

    More need to be done to keep the place neat considering its geographical location. I have drawn the management attention to that on few occasions.

    One of the longest service tilapia and Banku in East Legon. They operate from late afternoon to late evening. There is the option to either opt for delivery or call to order so you don’t spend much time over there. Their eatery is an open space so is not idea for eat-in due to the fact that there are a lot of mosquito around. They have this policy of Pay before you eat so take note before you embarrasse yourself.

    Great food! I was on vacation from the US we ate there 3 times while on vacation 😃

  • 2/5 Kwaku A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food for a low pocket. Ambience needs a touch-up and conducive for a sit-out

  • 5/5 Brandon P. 4 months ago on Google
    Food was crazy good. Seasoned and cooked perfectly.

  • 4/5 Olive M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 JABEZ K. 2 years ago on Google
    Best bank and tilapia in madina and East legon

  • 4/5 Temitayo S. 11 months ago on Google
    I love it. Not a fancy location but authentically Ghanian. So if you want a feel of the local street food served in a decent location and setting

  • 5/5 Ekow F. 8 months ago on Google
    Philipo Tilapia Joint is an absolute gem! The Tilapia here is second to none, expertly cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Each bite offers a delightful experience that leaves you craving more. The service is equally impressive, prompt and professional. The staff ensures your dining experience is smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely worth visiting for a fantastic meal and exceptional service. Easily the best Tilapia I had in Ghana this trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Four Stars.

    Some of the best fish I've ever tasted! Fantastic

  • 1/5 Mustafa B. 2 years ago on Google
    How can a delivery take 1.5 hour, from East Legon branch to Adjiringanor. Unacceptable!!

  • 5/5 Diyana B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Beatrice A. 2 years ago on Google
    unfriendly female staff, the banku didn't taste nice at all.

  • 2/5 Yaw O. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, however toilet facility needs serious touch up.

  • 5/5 Kester M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresh tilapia with banku, tasty meal. Cool environment, after sundown.

  • 2/5 Curtis T. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty tilapia, but eating at the restaurant area is akin to fighting with house flies over your food. It's best to order and take your food away. If you want to eat there better do so when it's dark.

  • 4/5 Hilary L. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent fall of the bone grilled tilapia. As a pescatarian, finding good grilled (not fried) fish is difficult in Accra. Hands down my favorite tilapia joint. So why 4 stars and not 5? Because the accompanying yam chips was less than satisfactory. I would recommend getting something else to accompany your tilapia. I ordered for take away. The staff were descent and did their job, nothing more. Maybe this is different when eating in.

  • 1/5 Maame Ama N. 6 months ago on Google
    I was so disappointed to open my pack to see reheated tilapia from the previous day. It's better to communicate to customers first before serving them with unfresh food, not to talk of how cold the tilapia was. Highly unprofessional by your Trinity Branch, you guys can do better.

  • 2/5 Bryn J. 2 years ago on Google
    Unprofessional workers… and poor policies. How can you check in at 12am Tuesday morning and they will be asking you to leave at 12pm Tuesday morning, same day.

  • 5/5 EL T. 1 year ago on Google
    Big and affordable tialapia joint.

  • 5/5 Addotey A. 1 year ago on Google

    Good food, good customer service and on time delivery.

  • 1/5 Grace A. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Philipo's in Dome. So my family and I decided to try the main branch. Nice atmosphere, breezy. But we were not impressed with the quality of the food and service. I was given a reheated old tilapia for 70 cedis. When I asked to speak to the manager, she took her time coming to our table, offered no apologies, did not smile or speak just snatched the plate of fish and left. Her name is Alvera. Awful attitude. Unprofessional and rude. Once we complained the service went to zero. No one wanted to help us. Even though we spent over 500 cedis it was an awful experience.

    Visit Philipo's Joint for a well grilled Talipa with well cooked banku. You can comfortably dine in or take way. You also order ahead. Delivery service is also available

  • 5/5 Michael O. 1 year ago on Google
    The tilapia was perfectly done and reasonably priced. I didn't have a problem with flies that a lot of people have commented about.

  • 1/5 Stephen E. 3 years ago on Google
    The 3 or 4 workers there on 25th December 2020 were really unprofessional. The owner should have stern talk with them. I love tilapia but unfortunately for that day it wasn't to be so.

  • 3/5 Kwaku Boateng D. 3 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately my experience wasn't the best. Tilapia was not soo nice likewise the pepper. The banku wasn't like other joints I've eaten banku at. Perhaps others has better experience than I did.

    Lovely banku and tilapia. Especially the tilapia. Not so friendly servers but it's a wonderful experience. The price is on the high side. 40ghc as at Aug 2020 for size 4 tilapia. The pepper sauce is delicious.
