Afrikiko

My boyfriend and I ordered takeout from here a few days ago and it was some of the best food we’ve had. We typically eat from Nigerian restaurants , so this was our first time trying Ghanaian cooking. We ordered Egusi soup and meat pies , the service was quick and kind. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu items. Highly recommend

One reason I love Houston, so many humble and unassuming establishments all over the city and Afrikiko is a perfect example of that! Offering up all kinds of traditional African dishes in a clean and cared for space. We tried the okra soup with goat and fufu. The flavor was beyond, like a much better gumbo.. eating it was slightly more tricky though! The ladies working there are so sweet and special and you can tell there is a lot of love and care in this establishment. I can’t wait to go back and try some new dishes, Thank you Afrikiko!

Delicious food. Amazing and friendly service! And an excellent place for Ghanaian and other African dishes. This place is family owned and you can clearly perceive their delight when you're excited by your meal. I ordered waakye (rice & peas) with fried plantains and goat meat stew. That was absolutely delicious! One friend ordered banku and okro soup, and the other got beans and fried plantains (red red). Their meals were also attractively served, and they confirmed that they were tasty and flavorful too. Check this place out for a fantastic meal experience. And when in doubt, be sure to ask your server for suggestions.

So happy that I found this place. I had a small sample of African food egusi and fufu at an event and wanted more. I tried a Nigerian restaurant near me. It was ok but not wow factor. I was on this side of town and looked up fufu and found Afrikiko. YEEEEEES! I love their Beef and egusi with fufu! Will travel for food. I'm mad at myself for buying one plate. I gavevto remember to get two to enjoy a couple of days since they are so far from me. I should probably try sometime but I get leary to spend money and not be sure. I know I like this so that's what I get. They are my spot for that meal. It's over an hr drive for me to get there from where I live but worth it! It's in an old dank strip mall, so it's basically a hole in the wall. But black folks know that's where you get the best food!

Afrikiko This place serves traditional ???????? Ghana food seems to be a mixture of other beautiful African countries . I was greeted very well as I walked into the establishment. Reminds me so much of my trip to Ghana, I couldn't do anything but enjoy myself inside. Food was made to order and as the owner told me remember this is America so some of the spices and the things they use are not in the traditional food. My overall experience was very pleasing and the jollof rice was delicious. The fried plantains were the grand finale of this meal .

Literally not exaggerating..... but truly my #1 spot now. Authentic, friendly, and QUICK. I asked for spice and they definitely brought it. Go see Ophelia and her family, they know exactly what they're doing, if you go anywhere else I cannot guarantee the same quality and deliciousness : ) **Pictured below is Efo Riro (no meat), Egusi (no meat), Jollof Rice + sauce (no meat), Fish Pepper Soup (no meat) all with pounded yam

Although this place is nestled away, it is awesomely, overwhelming, and flavors and hospitality! I was treated with a visit to this awesome restaurant by my family as I celebrated my 60th birthday this year. Upon arriving to this place, I had read reviews. The reviews were pretty good. As soon as we stepped through the door, we felt like family. It’s as though we showed up to our family‘s house and were sitting and waiting on the freshest, most amazingly prepared meal ever! The food was absolutely amazing. The meat pies, the food, the stews, the soups, the drinks, and rice dishes were extraordinarily delicious. Although we live over 200 miles away, this is a place that is worth the drive. If you are ever in Houston, passing through Houston, or like myself, you live far away, you will be glad to experience such culinary exquisiteness!
