"We don’t fully understand how all of the magic that happens at the Westwood restaurant Afrikiko is contained by four walls. You’re taken care of at this Ghanaian spot with a bowl of warm water for hand-washing between dishes. Few other places make meat pies that welcome you like a guest of honor and serve great jollof. The dishes here are exceptional—from rich, nutty banku served with fluffy fufu to groundnut soup with tilapia that makes us question if we’ve ever truly tasted tilapia before this." - gianni greene
