Our story

Six weeks old,
and already yours

We opened in Choggu on the nineteenth of June 2026 with one idea: good food, great music, good people, every day of the week. Guinea fowl in light soup and tuo zaafi with ayoyo, cooked the way they are cooked at home, next to a grill that does a very good ribeye.

Six nights a week there is music — Northern and highlife on Tuesday, the room singing on Thursday, Afro house on Saturday. We are still deciding who our regulars will be, which is the best possible time to become one.

What guests say

The guinea fowl soup is the closest thing to my grandmother's that I have paid for. We stayed until the music finished.

Booked the lounge for twelve on an hour's notice. They moved tables, found us a booth, and nobody made it feel like a favour.

I came for the ribeye and left arguing about which jollof is better. Come hungry and stay for the second set.

Thursday karaoke got completely out of hand and the staff just kept refilling the table. We have already booked again.

The tilapia comes whole with banku and a pepper sauce they grind when you order it. Worth the drive from Savelugu.

Came for one drink on a Saturday and stayed for the whole Afro house set. The room fills up properly after ten.
