Our story

The waakye you grew up on, given a home.

abrantie Twi · noun

A gentleman. Someone who carries himself well and treats people right.

That is the spirit behind Waakye Abrantie. We took Ghana's most-loved plate and gave it three clean, comfortable dining rooms, generous trays and a team that treats every guest with respect.
