I hadn’t had Ghanaian food like this since high school, and let me just say it was well worth the wait. Every bite brought back memories and then took it up a notch!
I had the waakye, the flavors were rich and deeply satisfying like something straight out of a Ghanaian home kitchen. You can tell the food was made with love and tradition.
The service was just as impressive. Our waiter “Olowodollar” was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without ever hovering. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality these days.
If you’ve been craving West African cuisine or just want to try something incredibly flavorful, Zongo is the place. Next time I visit Houston, I’ll definitely stop by.

Fresh food, clean restaurant, good service. The owner is so sweet and hardworking. Alex was our server and gets better each time. I come once a week with my daughter. We like the atmosphere. The wait times are long but that’s expected with made to order food.

We order food for delivery from this place. What was delivered was very tasty but we were missing 2 orders of jollof rice. Tried calling but phone redirects to website so there is no way to resolve orders. I will stick to my local joint coz I can talk to someone on the phone.

Traveled a long distance to enjoy this restaurant and it was so worth the drive. Can’t recommend just one dish, but the suya meats (goat and chicken) were fabulous. The flavors made my mouth and soul happy. This is not a place for rushed dining. Ask for Jongo juice too! Music and atmosphere are a relaxed vibe. Thank you to Alex and Laurette for a blessed meal

We were first time customers so this is my honest review.
The Bad: The service was not great. I would recommend calling the food in for pick up and expect an hour wait or more. We went in to eat and had at least an hour and half wait time. We were also disappointed that they ran out of jollof rice. Also noticed that some of the tables were not as clean as they should have been.
The Good: The food is good. It was fresh and I did enjoy the taste of it. My wife likes their stew and shrimp suya. I like the steak suya and their cabbage.
I would probably come back just to try to jollof rice since we didn’t get a chance.

Man. I was BLESSED to be in the presence of this amazing food. All of us ordered different things and we all were very happy. The flavor profiles of each dish were so deep, simple, yet complex. Special shout out to the greens. I’ve never had greens taste like that. They were SO good. The steamed rice was amazing. The plantains were amazing. The egg appetizer was amazing. The okra stew was amazing. The tilapia was amazing. The stewed chicken in tomato stew was amazing. The owner came out and made sure we were happy. You can tell she cooks with SO MUCH LOVE. I told my sister “We now know what love tastes like.” We were just so pleasantly surprised. Also, Alex was our server. He was sweet and helpful and attentive. I will say, be prepared to wait quite a while. But I feel like she knew the food wasn’t perfect yet and she wasn’t going to send out the food until it was. Order appetizers to hold you over until then.

We genuinely wanted to love this restaurant. During our trip to the Houston Rodeo all the way from Boston, my husband surprised me with a visit here—despite it being over 45 minutes from where we were staying—simply because he knew how much I was looking forward to it. With strong ties to Ghana and deeply missing everything about it, I was excited by the restaurant’s online presence and hopeful for an authentic experience.
Upon arrival, our waiter was decent—definitely seemed a bit inexperienced, but we understood that and didn’t let it take away from our anticipation. The food did take some time to arrive, but we were still so eager to try it that we passed the time watching videos and soaking in the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, our first order of samosas arrived completely burnt—no way around that—but we remained optimistic, hoping the main courses would make up for it. After about 35 minutes, our meals arrived, and I will say that the presentation was quite lovely, which we truly appreciated.
We ordered two dishes: Jollof rice and Waakye. The jollof, sadly, was very dry, lacking the depth of flavor that makes it so beloved, and it even seemed like we were served the bottom-of-the-pan portion. The plantains were excellent, but the meat on the stick was cold and tough to chew. The waakye had similar issues—the fish was fried to the point of being nearly inedible, the pepper sauce had a burnt taste, the rice was dry and bland, and the egg was simply boiled with no additional flavor or sauce, even on the spaghetti.
I don’t leave reviews often, as I truly sympathize with the challenges of running a restaurant, but I sincerely want this place to succeed. After our visit, I came across several similar reviews and wished I had read them beforehand. That said, I genuinely hope ownership takes this feedback to heart, as this could be an incredible space with the right refinements. The passion and potential are there—it just needs the execution to match. Wishing them all the best and hoping for great things in the future!

Drove over an hour from Houston to get here just to find out that they were not open during their business hours. Instead they had a had written sign on the door. We called prior to driving there but there was no answer. We now see why. Yikes!

My niece wanted to try fufu so me and my sister brought her here. What an experience! Food was fresh, homemade and made to order. The plantains were the best any of us had ever had and that’s saying a lot bc we were raised around many islander friends. The owner was so much fun and spoiled us silly. If you’re looking for authentic Ghanaian food that will make your taste buds dance, this is the place!

Above and beyond service. Food is made fresh which is exceptional but takes away from experience due to long wait times. Staff is extremely amicable and great conversationalist. Food was good.
