THE SPOT- BARNAS

Image
I set out on Friday to paint the city “Black and Yellow”. My brother asked for pizza and I wanted to get him the best pizza I could find... So, I asked around and I got two recommendations for a particular location and off to BARNAS I went.. It’s at Ahodwo-Nhiayeso. When coming from Adum, turn right at the Ahodwo round-about and take the first left and it’s just to your left. There is a sign so it’s not hard to find. During the ride this was me... “I’m going to a cool and fancy pub” I got there and it was technically a “Spot”. I entered the place, actually I walked into the place because it’s not like there is a door or a particular entry point. There was this strange scent that met me under the tree. I don’t intend on being mean but it smelled like Guinness Ghana fermenting hops to brew beer in front of the bar. We quickly headed for the other side where it didn’t smell odd. The pizza place is like behind a counter with a glass case so u can see what they are putting in your ...

ETHOPIAN IT IS...

I took a trip to the capital to get you this review. I met a friend at East Legon and we decided to grab something to eat,we looked across the street and there it was. I asked how hungry are you and the response was... very hungry.... Ethiopian it is then!  When I asked what the name of the place was they told me... Ethiopian restaurant... just that.   I wondered why that name!!   but I guess they were proving a point : either it is the only or the first restaurant in Accra that serves mainly Ethiopian dishes. I’ve never been to Ethiopia but when I entered the place I imagined that's how Ethiopia is. It has a really nice traditional look with sacks on the ceiling, raffia and some kind of thatch looking material. There are also some traditional tea sets and ceramic bowl just to add to the traditional feel. The decor was traditional and yet classy. I just didn’t get the umbrellas opened upside down in the room but I guess that was not that bad either – perhaps it signi...

PLUS2 PUB AND KITCHEN

+ 2 PUB AND KITCHEN Because this is my first review I’ll try not to be too mean First of all, does anyone know what a Pepper stick   or a Hot Dott is??? How about a Pepervorian Pizza,  Pastor Salad or Quarsant Bread. If any of you don’t believe these were written just like this on the menu, I’ve got photo evidence. The first time I entered the place, I thought, lovely decor... except for those coloured windows on the side that seem like the door to the back room of a strip club.  The bar is lovely and I love those huge mirrors when you are going up the stairs -classy! It is also very spacious outside and the Live band show draws a large crowd, but of course that also brings in what my friend... (you know yourself) likes to call the Shashee girls. The food is good, I unfortunately couldn’t have anything heavy but the shawarma was fairly good so I am assuming that most of the food is around that same level of quality. I’ve never had ...
