100% WORTH IT. AS SOMEONE WHO'S FAMILY BACKGROUND IS GHANAIAN. I WAS QUITE HAPPY WITH THE FOOD AND WOULD RECOMMEND TO HAVE SOME GREAT WEST AFRICAN EATS. ALTHOUGH YOU MIGHT WANT TO COME A BIT EARLIER IN THE EVENING AS THE BEEF STEW WAS GREAT SOME WAS A BIT ROUGH. MY FRIENDS & I WERE SATISFIED THE WAITRESS WAS AWESOME AND GAVE ME SOME GARI TO TAKE HOME. YOU MADE THIS BITTHDAY BOY QUITE HAPPY WITH YOUR SERVICE & THE LIVE MUSIC AND DECOR WAS A1 9.5/10 WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Tried Egusi and fufu for the first time here and would go back for it often. Food was very delicious until this last time…. I found hair… HAIRS! (multiple) in my food. If I would have ate inside with the restaurant’s dark setting I probably wouldn’t have seen it. I was so disgusted, they have lost the etiquette of sanitation WEAR A HAIR NET
One of my favorite places in DC! I’ve started coming here regularly and I always have a good time. The food is perfect, staff is attentive, and the environment is welcoming.They also have live music sometimes, which takes the vibe up even more
Bukom was and always has been a cool spot.Their food is on point, but the one thing which is suffering due to the pandemic is the lively atmosphere. ?Pre-pandemic Bukom was a movie with live music on Saturdays, a mix of cool old and young professionals, and the food was the icing on the cake.Now, its quiet, and even when seated they serve your food in to-go boxes ?.The waitress was really cool and friendly, so shout out to her.I really hope the old Bukom makes a comeback. ??
Food is fantastic. Had meal of appetizers and the chicken suya was excellent. Service was friendly and fast. Having more pics or descriptions on the menu would have been helpful, but in all it was a great experience. Coming back .
Some of the tastiest restaurant West African food I've ever had. Tastes like home. Try the Jollof w the beef curry.
Bukom Cafe is a place I visited the first time I came to DC in 2016. I loved the ambiance with life music as soon as you come in the door. Patrons were dancing and regulars seemed to be like extended family. The energy was lively and the food was great. Fast forward to 2019, I was taken to Bukom as a surprise by a good friend, but my inviter didn't know that I had been there before. I have been there 5 times since 2019 and I have to say, the food is always good. I have had tried different other West African restaurants in the DMV area, but none of them could match them. Of course due to Covid things have changed, but you can still eat there with limited tables and the food is still unmatched! They never disappoint!My favorite is the Okra soup with Banku, Beef Suya and the Spicy Pepper Soup!
The bartender is absolutely amazing personality and customer service. The soup (especially the spicy pepper soup) is absolutely delicious. My only con is that you do not get a lot of food at this restaurant. You may order an entree but it is more like a tapa. The oxtails are mostly bones with sauce. Not sure about the other dishes but unless it's the soup don't come here if you are remotely hungry.

I've been frequenting this pace 20 years and it never disappoints. Great food, and music.
