    I will not speak for other people , but just the first time I went there , I fell in love , why ? The place, the staff, the food, what can we ask more?! I was very charmed by the lovely place they have inside the Alliance Francaise d'accra. The place is really charming , well decorated, both contemporary and rustic. It a good mix, the prices for food/drinks are convenient, if we take for account the location/area. I will not talk about the downside because according to me , there might not be, just the trees spreading their leave on the chairs, even that, it's beautiful by an afternoon earing there. The food , especially the combos are a ๐Ÿ‘for me. Keep it up and , the waitress Bernice Ofori, was/is kind, I think it's inner her. She should be promoted, her sevring skills are top notch. My experience is a 5/5 for me, hope to have more experience with you guys to appreciate depreciate the new experience. Ce fut un honneur pour moi ๐Ÿคž

    Amazing! Mama cuisine is inside Alliance. Just look to your right after you pass through security. I believe it was formerly Papaโ€™s Cuisine I went on a rainy day and still had a great time. Such a cute cute space. Outdoor garden seating, with wooden furniture and cute artworks. Very cool and relaxing vibe. The prices is reasonable I think. Thereโ€™s a price point for everyone. The menu has interesting options like the charcoal lemonade and variety for meat eaters and vegans Gosh, the food was amazing. Presentation on point. Decent portions. I woke up happy the next day cos I had left overs. I had the mixed platter for 200gh. Their wagashi is to die for. Iโ€™m not a fan of wagashi but they made me one. Their meat was soooooo well seasoned and juicy. The weak link on the platter was the chicken wings; too dry. The fried rice too was average. Everything else was โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ! My waitress was amazing! The owner (I believe) came to check on us. I was there for hours and really enjoyed there. Iโ€™m curious about how it will be at night. Will I go back? Yesss!!! Oh and you can pay via momo.

    Mama cooks a great place I loved the setting, the reception was at the top, I was accompanied by friends we had a good time. I ordered a very cold beer ๐Ÿป and I ate chicken with plantain banana it was excellent. The staff very attentive always to ask if all is well. Do not hesitate to take a tour.๐Ÿคคโค๏ธ

    Delicious, authentic local food! Much spicier than other restaurants I tried in Accra. The location was a bit strange but there were some striking murals on the nearby buildings that were worth seeing. Iโ€™d recommend for a casual lunch

    Papa Cuisine which is located inside Alliance Francaise is one of the best places I have been so many times. I of course have my favorites and biggest reasons why I travel there to get myself some treats. Even though every waiter there now know what I am eating immediately I get there but what they donโ€™t know is that I am so much with every food I try there. The Coconut Lime Rice is my number one choice with any sauce they have. The chicken coconut curry everyone should try that. They have a reasonable prices and have special prices for the the students at language school there. Think thatโ€™s really nice of them to think about the students. The have some simple and lovely flower decorations on a woodin pallets and that is so creative and lovely to see whiles relaxing and drinking or eating there. The waitresses are really nice, friendly and welcoming . For me this is one of the most important thing at any place. The space is spacious and sitting area under a shed with fresh air. Just absolutely love everything about this place. Itโ€™s really worth trying. And one thing when I got there one time I realized they are also supporting fresh organic food stuffs because they ordered from an organic farmer whiles I was there to eat. Okay really love this place .

    Food 10/10 Service 8/10 Wait Time: under 15 mins Located inside Alliance Franรงaise. Moderately large seating area. Has a dancefloor area too. Different seating types from large combined tablea to cane sofas and picnic benches and tall barstools. Details: I ordered Sobolo. It took about 10 mins before the waiter returned and said none was available. I changed my order to a charcoal lemonade and fresh pineapple juice. This came within 5 minutes and was very good. For food, I ordered complete waakye, fried yam and alloco. This was very tasty. The waakye was served nicely on a leaf in a wooden platter with the waakye, gravy, green pepper, spaghetti, egg, gari and salad neatly arranged on it. The alloco and fried yam also came in wooden bowls and it looked good and sumptuous. The yam had a Jenga arrangement to it and was perfect. Crispy on the outside, soft and lush on the inside. I liked my experience there, would definitely recommend Complete Waakye - 30gh Alloco and Fried Yam - 15gh each Chracoal Lemonade and Pineapple Juice - 15gh each

    Their signature foods like Attieke and Plantain are great. The basic foods like rice, I wouldn't recommend so much. Love their atmosphere but their proximity to the road means a bit of noise. Ambience during the evening is great.

    We had dinner here three times. The garden is beautiful and the staff is absolutely lovely. Food is ok but the quality is not consistent. Quacamole was nice, just as the patatas bravas. The aubergine was really not nice at all and the falafel dish was extremely salty, deep fried and served without bread. Really? Veggie options are limited. The only veggie main dish is spaghetti with tomato sauceโ€ฆ! The vibe at Friday night (dancing night) really felt uncomfortable.

    Food was overpriced but was worth trying. If I would go there again... I'm not sure. The same food - even better quality - found elsewhere but less pricy. Heck.... I went there again last night. They happened to have a live band. Amazing performance. Had a great night with family members and friends. I CAME TO LEARN THAT I PLACED THE ORDERD WRONG. THAT IS WHY I FELT IT OVERPRICED.

    I love the atmosphere and surroundings, especially the trees and the food there. The hard thing is youโ€™d have to choose from different varieties of delicious meals, so they have Latin and African foods and if you really like the taste of something different and delicious then you should definitely go and try out something. Thank you, Adios โ˜บ๏ธ

  • 5/5 John S. 3 years ago on Google
    We loved this place! All outdoor seating, cold beer, and great food. The green chili sauce is to die for. I must have had about 10 tablespoons of that stuff and not one hot spot on my tailpipe the next day. The fish filet was really good. Coconut chicken was spectacular. The staff is super friendly. Don't be afraid when you're looking for it. It's in a bit of a shady neighborhood but the folks around there are friendly and once you enter the compound through the turnstile, you're in a different world. Highly recommended!

    Really great food. No doubt about that. In my case the waitress didnโ€™t bring what I had ordered, and insisted multiple times that the dish I ordered wasnโ€™t on the menu! Wow just wow. I must have a great imagination. I insisted and she brought it in five minutes. I guess it was on the menu. Amazing.

    My family and I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday after having spending the day at Labadi Beach. We loved this place instantly! The vibe and ambience was chilled. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and the string lights at dusk added an inviting glow as you enjoy your beautiful meal. The service we received was courteous and attentive, the food quality and taste was great. Overall we had a great time. We will definitely be dining here again before we leave Ghana. We would highly recommend Mama Cuisine based on our personal experience. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

    Super cute. Btw, itโ€™s located inside Alliance Franรงais. If you get confused just talk to the on duty security personnel. Itโ€™s really cute, very earthy. The staff is warm too. The food is moderately priced. For entree, main course and a dessert for two, we paid approximately 147 GHC. Of course, you can pick and choose as you please.

  • 3/5 Eva O. 2 years ago on Google
    I got Atsieke but it didnโ€™t really have the street food kick to it, if you know what I mean. I had to take it home, cut up some vegetables, toss in some real grilled fish and a dash of oil and salt to taste before enjoying the dish properly!

  • 4/5 Thavyness 4 years ago on Google
    We walked here from our hotel (15 minutes) to have a casual business dinner. Itโ€™s located in the Alliance Francaise. Thereโ€™s guarded security and you need to go through metal detector before entering the grounds. Restaurant is laid back, casual and serves delicious local dishes. The area outside is sketchy and not well lit. On my way back to hotel, I was involved in attempted robbery on the main Liberation road. I highly recommend the restaurant but please be cautious if you are walking as some areas are poorly lit.
