Chez Aunty Liby (also Libe, Libby)

Chez Aunty Liby (also Libe, Libby), 6115 Georgia Avenue NW, Washington, DC, 202-291-6454 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [WaPo | City Paper | Yelp]

From Jeff Bryan, who works at AID:

”This is one of the few restaurants specializing in Senegambian dishes such as mafe' (peanut sauce), Thibou Dien and chicken yassa”. Aunty Liby is usually in the dining area to greet you with a “Bonsoir” when you walk in. The décor is straight out of Dakar, as is the food. It’s friendly and fun.”

Akosombo

Akosombo, 613 K Street NW, Washington, DC, 202-408-1133, closed Sunday, opens at 8 am for breakfast, closes 8 pm, don’t go after 6 pm I would say. (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [City Paper | openlist | Yelp]

I’ve heard they have spruced this place up a bit, but it remains a true mom and pop. Some of the dishes are excellent, truly spicy and authentic, but don’t bring your date here. I like it, but this one is for the brave. Great atmosphere, and a favorite with taxi drivers. Note that the neighborhood requires some courage after dark, and perhaps even before dark as well.

Ghana Cafe

Ghanian places are never bad, but this one is better than you think. The Red Red (beans and plantains) is excellent, so is the peanut soup. You can’t go wrong here, highly recommended, don’t be put off by the total lack of enthusiasm among the staff. One of the best African places around.

Bukom Cafe

More generic West African than Ghanaian, but since Bukom is an area in Accra, the capital of Ghana, I assume this is a Ghanaian restaurant of sorts. I find the curries here to be very yummy. Recommended. See also West African.
