"When its doors opened in late 2023, Gold Coast Ghal Kitchen wrote a new chapter for West African cuisine in Seattle. Owner Tina Fahnbulleh’s Liberian origins and Ghanaian upbring are reflected throughout the innovative menu that offers contemporary twists on West African classics served in a chic setting. Come hungry and with company so you can dine family-style. Must-orders include jollof rice with apple cabbage slaw and fried plantains, goat peanut soup, and red red — a dish of black-eyed peas, tomatoes, and peppers served with plantains. Pair your meal with a cocktail featuring regional ingredients like palm wine, passion fruit, and plantain." - Alicia Erickson
