Yesterday my life was changed, because I walked into Amma’s Kitchen. I was greeted by Amma herself, with a warm smile and friendly service. The atmosphere is chill, with comfortable chairs, nice tables, and positive affirmations spread around. The food? Take your pick. IT’S ALL DELICIOUS. The Red Stew was flavorful, aromatic, and cooked to perfection. Curry Goat. Jerk Chicken. AMAZING. FALLS OFF THE BONE. The Broiled Salmon with Mac n Cheese was drizzled with this zesty vibrant lemon butter dill sauce. I’d put it on everything. The cornbread….ha..You thought you’ve had cornbread? You’ll never eat another cornbread again if it’s not how Amma put her heart and soul into preparing those delicious morsels.

We drove from Baltimore to this restaurant that was featured and WBAL TV. It serves a combination of American, African and Caribbean cuisine. The employees were very nice. Made suggestions of what to try.
We had the fried fish with jollof rice, coco bread and a second entree of ginger chicken with jollof rice. Both entrees were cooked to order. Arrived hot and steamy. Seasoned well. 2 large pieces of Swai fish perfectly fried along with a flavorful jollof rice. Needed the cabbage but wasn’t ready at the time
The ginger chicken was good. A little kick from the ginger but not overly spicy. Good portion size.
A portion of the proceeds are returned to help other countries with girls and women sanitary needs

I highly reccomend Amma’s Kitchen. The proprieter was warm and friendly and the restaurant was immaculate right down to the restroom. The Peanut Soup and the Jollof Rice with Ginger Chicken were excellent. I asked for and received a sample of the Spinach Stew which was soooooo good that I purchased some to take home. You must have a slice of the carot cake which is a sinner’s paradise. Lunch at Amma’s Kitchen was well worth the drive from Baltimore City. I can’t wait to go back again.

came in after a long bike ride of intense cardio. I was greeted by a very kind woman, presumably the owner. She was a wonderful kind woman who explained the menu and what is good for my particular tastes, with a warm smile. The other two women there I talked to were equally as kind and helpful. I am not sure what their names are and who is Amma. I got the red goat stew and it was absolutely delicious. Huge portion, very fair price, lower than comparable food at other places, and perfect taste, just the right amount of spiciness and rich flavor. I will be returning to this place very soon and i reccomend it to anyone who is a fan of international cuisines and new delicious flavors. Thank you Amma’s Kitchen. I am so glad you opened near my home.

I love the food it is perfectly seasoned and it takes me back to my childhood. The atmosphere transports you to Ghana and the mission to help women in need warms my heart. You would be a fool not to eat here!

Well where has this restaurant been hiding. Food is as good as my mom’s home cooked. Highly recommend the peanut butter soup. And the jollof is
My family and I just came back from Ghana and the food here tasted even better.
I’m going back with some friends next time.

Loved it. Whoever was working on Thursday 1/15 (likely the owner) was so warm and welcoming. The food was excellent. I got the peanut butter soup (vegetarian) and jollof. My dining companions got the ginger chicken. Everything came in large portions and was full of flavor. Looking forward to the next visit1

Finally Stopped in today. Great place in Kingsville. Amma was very nice and attentive and at my request added a little kick to the Ginger Chicken that was just right. Food was great and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Really enjoyed the spices. Will try some curry next time, and probably grab a slice of the german chocolate cake for the kiddos 🙂

We stopped in to this new delightful restaurant in the area and loved it! We ordered the goat curry, beef patties, and jollof rice with ginger chicken. All of it was delicious and super flavorful. We truly appreciated the owner’s heart for mission work in underserved communities around the world (you gotta check out the mission wall when you visit). We will be back often for sure!
