Hate to say this about an African restaurant. But the Suya was awful. Dry. Tasteless. It tasted like the meat had been sitting out for a while and they just threw it in a bag and sold it to me. I will literally never go here again. They used to be in union and the food was good there. Now that they are in Irvington. Thumbs down.

As an update I came back to try the Jollof rice wasn't a fan of that nor the meat pies which come highly recommended on this app, unfortunately for me the meat pies were dry and could barely make it down my throat maybe it was a bad batch so I can't recommend those items, but I still will come back and support for the other items. Good spot overall for the other stuff.

I don’t like talking bad about someone place of business but this time I will. Have you ever wanted to eat specific meal bad? That you go out your way to get it, and you finally found a place that makes it. Drive over an hour, pay almost forty dollars just to be disappointed. I cried. I hate wasting food but I couldn’t eat it after the first bite.

As a Naija love love my Ghanaian cooking but there is one problem - garden city will test your patience with waiting time. Called union shop 10 times no pick up. Yelp said they open at 10am. I gave dem 2hrs 15min. Drove to the Union restaurant at 12:15. The door was lock. God help us. Call!!!!! For another 5 times no answer. Had to take my money somewhere else.

Fantastic food and portions. Wait can be long but it's well worth it.

Egusi was wack… jollof was ok but meat was not soft enough… every questions I ask the Ghana lady at the front of the register she responded with an attitude, pride. I was so uncomfortable…I almost walked out and didn’t want to pay for my order… her attitude stinks! She needs to learn how to be nice to her customers… if we don’t buy things you won’t make money. Your rudeness will make u close this shop down and lose your business one soon or later! Just an advice. Learn to be more professional and been nice to everyone that walks in is one of them. Take it or leave it! ?✌?
I ordered the Jollof and waakye at the Irvington location, and they were both delicious! Great portions! The taste really takes you back home. 10/10 recommend!

Food is disgusting! The Okra soup is Black and taste old. Never again ! I ordered Okra Soup and Fufu and this is what I got. Services is worse, owner doesn’t smile. Food is overpriced please stay away. How can you serve a customer this ? Smh

Come for the jollof rice, stay for the meat pies! I took a friend visiting from Ghana to this restaurant because he said the food he had so far in Newark was lackluster. He loved the food so much that his cousin tried to go back the next day! (Unfortunately they're closed on Sundays.) If you're looking for authentic Ghanaian food, definitely check out Garden City.

I am sorry but I didn’t like the food. I ordered on Uber eats. The seasoning seemed off for the Jollof and the croaker fish and i could barely eat it. I ordered meat pie which they called and said they didn’t have. I told them to substitute it with drinks but I never got any drinks.

The food here is good. I ordered the croaker with jollof. I was disappointed to learn that the fish I received was not croaker. Unfortunately, most people don’t know the difference. Next time, I will order the snapper.Instagram @KenKooltho
