The 38 Best Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle
"Tina Fahnbulleh’s restaurant is a gateway to West African cuisine. The menu teaches diners how to pronounce waakye (wah-che, a rice and beans dish) and tells them to eat with their hands; they can use fufu, a starchy, almost mashed potato–like side to sop up the creamy, carefully spiced broth from the soups. The user-friendly experience here is a recognition that many Seattleites aren’t familiar with food from countries like Liberia (where Fahnbulleh was born) or Ghana (where she spent her early childhood). Come to Gold Coast Ghal, though, and you’ll soon start craving potato greens. Must order: Get the fufu if you haven’t had it before — while West African food is becoming a bit more common in Seattle, it’s still not something you commonly see." - Harry Cheadle
