Review by Jerrell Hoppe

September 29, 2024

Akwaba Restaurant in Aurora offers a cozy and casual dining experience, perfect for a delightful introduction to West African cuisine!

I indulged in the Lamb Dibi with rice and beans, and it was hands-down the best lamb I’ve ever tasted - tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The meat pies (Pastel) were irresistible!

The ginger juice added a unique kick, while my husband couldn't get enough of the jollof rice. The charming atmosphere, paired with friendly service and Afro-Caribbean beats, made it a memorable night out. Just be prepared for a little wait if it gets busy. Can't wait to return! 🌟
