Mama G’s restaurant mainly serves Ghanaian food and is one of the best Ghanaian food restaurants in that area of the Bronx. They only lose a point because while the food is good, the only payment options present at the time of this review’s posting is cash, zelle or cashapp. Although a sizeable range, can serve as a deterrent for customers who don’t have either of those options. I would personally recommend their waakye with everything included and fish. Good customer service with good, affordable food. Can’t beat that!

I loved the ambience of the place. Also I really enjoyed the different aromas and flavors of the place. I can they can also do better by bringing in Card payments instead of just zelle/cashapp and Physical cash

I don’t know why this place has some bad reviews, but the service here was great to be honest. You seat yourself. On the main floor or downstairs which they have a bar and feels more private. The food is GREAT! But SUPER SPICY if you don’t LIKE SPICY NOT FOR YOU! Lol my lips where on fire! I had fufu and I believe it was cow foot soup. The guy at the bar knew what I was coming for when I walked over there. He also asked if the other at my table needed water I went here with my aunt, sister, & my Nigerian brother. But this was what I had that day. We all had fufu just different soup. Also don’t get what I had to drink! Does not help with cooling a burning mouth!

Super tasty food! My first time trying Ghanaian food, got good recommendations a really friendly owner. We got fufu with goat, and spinach with fish and rice. Would go again! And bring more people next time!

Best Ghanaian food in the area. This location is way better than the restaurant on white plains road. It is larger and the food is better. My favorite is the spinach soup. I don’t advise getting pounded yam to go w it because you received a very small serving. Food is reasonably priced.
