Where it comes from

Every dish has a home. These three lead our menu.

Black-eyed peas, dried sorghum leaves and rice on dark wood

NORTHERN GHANA

Waakye

The name comes from the Dagbani language. Dried sorghum leaves cooked with the rice give it that deep red-brown colour.

Plum tomatoes, scotch bonnet peppers and red onion on dark wood

SENEGAMBIA

Jollof

Named after the old Wolof empire. One pot, tomato, pepper and onion, and a friendly argument between Ghana and Nigeria.

Dried shrimp, dried fish, ginger, garlic and chillies on dark wood

ACCRA, GHANA

Shito

A Ga recipe. A dark pepper sauce of dried fish, prawns, ginger and chilli that goes with almost everything.

Questions

Anything else? Message us on WhatsApp at [NUMBER]. A real person replies.

Will it taste like a microwave meal?

No. Everything is cooked slowly on Saturday, chilled fast and never frozen. Four minutes of heat brings it back to how it left our pot.

Is it all spicy?

No. Every dish shows its heat as Mild, Medium or Spicy. New to West African food? Start with jollof and plantain or the fried rice.

How long do the meals keep?

Each label shows its use-by date, usually [X] days from delivery. Keep them in the fridge.

What if I'm out on Sunday?

Tell us a safe place when you order. Your meals come in an insulated box with ice packs, and we text you when it's at your door.

Can I skip or cancel?

Yes. Skip, pause or cancel online before Wednesday 11:59pm. No call, no fee.

What about allergies?

Every label lists the 14 major allergens. Our kitchen handles all of them, including peanuts, fish and crustaceans, so we can't promise any meal is free from traces.
