Gastronomy in Ghana: Tribes Bar and Restaurant at Afia Beach Hotel

I am continuously surprised by a view of the ocean a mere five minute drive from Accra city centre. Being in the inner city one forgets that we are actually by the coast and that reprieve from the traffic, smog and tro-tros is just a short drive away. My son had yam sticks and kelewele with shito - no worry about carb content with him. I had the fruity mango chicken curry; also sampled off my other dining partner's plate the steamed paw paw and rice with beef at Tribes Restaurant.
The decor; orange-coloured tablecloths against dark wood tables and chairs with intricately carved pillars. Menu varies from breakfasts to soups, light meals, entrees and salads, to Ghanaian specialities that include Tilapia and Banku, Palaver sauce with meat or fish and side order of yam, plantain and rice. There is also a wide range of seafood dishes. The only thing missing was the ocean view - which was obscured by the mango trees...but for that one has to walk down the pathway to take it all in. Prompt, efficient service and very friendly staff. Tribes is on Liberia Road - a straight drive through from the National Theatre and past the Governent ministries.
