Ofori's World Cuisine

I’m in HEAVEN!! Everything I tried is loaded with flavor! You did not disappoint I tried the Rosemary Martini, coconut Shrimp and Shrimp Chamanchanga with the orange and green sauce. They have SHARK Tacos!!!!! Delicious! Come check out the night life! There’s a private room in the back that holds up to 20 ppl with bottle service and there’s a DJ Friday nights! Flavorful foods, great drinks and afrobeats….. What are you waiting for?? Meet me there!!!!!! Let’s go!

The food was amazing! I came here for brunch with my dad. I ordered the oxtail & grits. And my dad ordered the breakfast burger. And we had the fried calamari for the appetizer. Everything was a 10/10. The following day, My father couldn’t stop saying how much he loved the food and wants to go back! We will back in two weeks for another father daughter brunch lol.

I had the pleasure of dining on this chef's cuisine a few years ago. Was delighted then and more so now that he has a brick and mortar that I can conveniently visit. The food tonight was exceptional, as was the atmosphere. Will be back to sample more!! Thank you for an amazing birthday dinner!!

Everything was amazing. We ordered calamari, garlic habanero wings, Jollof, and spicy goat and fufu. Everything was amazing. Then we saw the ghanaburrito and honestly, I’m probably going to have dreams about it. My son said the cheese pull looked made up (like it should’ve been glue) and it was LITERALLY all of my favorite things combined, African food in a burrito. I will try ANYTHING the chef puts out. My ten year old said he can probably make dirt taste good. I already can’t wait to go back

Omg! The taste of every food I ordered was amazing. Incredible flavors from different parts of the world. Highly recommended! 🔥🔥🔥

My friend and I were looking for an interesting place to eat after our hike at Anthony's nose and I wanted to check out a new town I hadn't been to yet. So we settled on this restaurant after seeing the international menu with unique options. We're SO glad we stopped in. The waitress/bartender was so pleasant and welcoming. The atmosphere was interesting and looked a little "cold" modern sleek steel but with plants and colorful art. It looked like a club lounge because there was a big open space but I didn't know at the time; only from reading reviews it looks like this place turns into a nightclub, which honestly sounds fun. I love a good nightclub that actually serves REAL food. Anyway, I ordered the Fufu which I've never had before, with the Green Garden Bliss Soup and snapper. My friend ordered the Curry Panko Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken. Both were amazing!! I am salivating now as I'm writing this review because I want to eat those dishes all over again. We also had the pleasure of meeting Chef Ofori and learning about his story. Such a nice man!!! He's going to be cooking for 3 days straight as a way to feed the homeless while breaking a World Record . I'm so proud of him!!

🍽️ **Chef’s Kiss @ Ofori’s World Cuisine** From the moment you step in, the aroma alone makes your mouth water 🤤 — and the food? Pure magic. 🔥 **Oxtails, sweet plantains, jollof rice** – finger-licking good. 🦑 **Fried calamari**, crispy & seasoned to perfection. 🐟 **Branzino & Snapper**, golden and flavorful. 🍹 The **Ghana Punch**? Smooth, bold, no hangover! ✨ Cozy, colorful vibes. Cultural décor. Music that moves your soul. **Attentive Staff** Let’s be Real: We need an **Ofori’s in White Plains & NYC** — it’s that good. 10/10 — *Would kiss the chef myself if it meant another plate of those oxtails* 👨🏾‍🍳💋

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant! When I arrived I parked in a small lot nearby. I walked into the cutest restaurant. I was served by Nefertiti, and she was awesome! I ordered: Ghana Punch Shrimp Tacos Chicken rasta pasta Mama G Oxtails Mango Habanero wings The food was excellent! My favorite definitely was the oxtail! I loved this restaurant and need to return!

This place does not have enough recognition for how bomb it is. The service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive the whole time we were there. The place was beautiful 😍 BUT THE FOOD?! 10/10 across the board. If you haven’t tried it you must go. I got the oxtail tacos that came with its own gravy and red snapper with jollof *chefs kiss*. Everything was succulent, tender and fresh. A must if you’re visiting this part of town.

The food and service was amazing! The place is popping with music. Shout out to the waitress that served us. She gave us really good recommendations with the rasta pasta!

Harriet Afriyie

Alisa was a pleasant person and amazing at providing service. The meals ie. Adabraka Kenkey with Red Snapper Green Chilly Sauce was delicious. Captain Ofori’s Fry up was fully loaded with mouth watering sauce. I recommend this restaurant 100%. Great Gesture from the owner OFORI, was the icing on the cake for us. We love love the food and the service.

Extremely authentic African/Caribbean cuisine. And the menu has so much more!! Tacos, burgers, waffles. Amazing. I had the Branzino with rice and sweet plantains. My boyfriend had the panko crusted stuffed chicken and Mexican Street fries Wow. You can tell the chef took the time to impress his customer. I was over the moon happy Ate it all; no leftovers. Drinks were poured well. Will be back very soon.

First time ever been to this place - will definitely come back! The executive chef was on chopped, and him and the rest of the staff truly made you feel like family. It was my first time trying African food - got the Ghana style jerk chicken. Unreal how good was! Also must try the jollof rice! What wonderful flavor! Nicest people + great food = happy customers!

Group of 4 had dinner at Ofori’s. If you’re like me, you’ve been wanting to try it but haven’t gotten around to it. Well, definitely give it a go! We thoroughly enjoyed the food, cocktails, and service. Pics are the ghanachanga (one with shrimp other with chicken), the OMG burger with cheese melted on top of the bun and gold leaf in that, and U fried rice with shrimp. Also had coconut shrimp appetizer and calamari- excellent! The desserts were meh, but ok. Only thing we didn’t like was the lack of customers. And that’s on us. We should be supporting all local owned restaurants that are quality, and open to expanding our palette and trying new flavors. Three courses and cocktail for about $50 each. Next time I will try the fish or Ghana stews!

Had awesome dining experiences here! Glad I took a chance and went based a on a posted LoHud article. The food is top notch - simply amazing and addictive and the drinks...Definitely on the list as a go to spot for excellent food, drinks and music. It's a hidden gem that shouldn't be overlooked. And the staff is great 👍received thoughtful service. It was a privilege to meet the owner - he's doing a phenomenal job 👏

The food was delicious, the service was perfect and the background music was great 🎶. I would recommend working on the lighting to improve the atmosphere but other than that Kudos 👏 to this team. Much blessing and much success!

The Jollof rice was rich, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by a tasty, well-balanced sauce. The branzino was cooked to perfection. The fish was tender, moist, and seasoned beautifully. The sweet plantains added just the right touch of balance to the plate. It was easily one of the best meals I’ve had this year. I also tried Ofori’s jerk chicken, and it was just as memorable. You can truly taste that the food is made with love!

My Family and I went to celebrate my dad's birthday. The atmosphere was calm and quiet on this particular day(Sunday 4pm). The hostess(Nefertiti) was extremely pleasant, helpful and attentive. Saving the best for last the food was delicious. The Asian teriyaki chicken wings were perfectly done. I had the jollof rice with shrimp and fried whitting, very very tasty. I would definitely go again.

Literally EVERYTHING we had was soo good! The food had so much flavor and the service was great. It was great to see Chef Lawrence interacting with the guests and Nefertiti was doing her thing behind the bar! We really enjoyed the food and drinks and left with full and happy bellies. This was a great Father’s Day dinner. We will be back! I’m already planning to get some food to go for lunch this week!

Had the greatest time and most incredible dinner last night at Ofori’s World Cuisine! Always wanted to go check it out and so glad we did! Started with the Ghana punch which was an incredible drink (Alyssa made a perfect cocktail)! Wings were outstanding, best I’ve had in a long time! Seafood bisque not only had great presentation but tasted delicious! We had 4 meals and everything was outstanding! How is this restaurant not constantly packed? Will definitely be back! Thank you for an incredible birthday dinner!

My family and I stumbled upon this hidden gem while walking through Peekskill, and we were so happy we did! The food was absolutely delicious! Easily a 10/10. I had the coconut shrimp tacos, sweet plantains, and shared the calamari with my kids (which they loved). My husband had the oxtail tacos and jollof rice, so good I had to steal a few bites! We also tried the brisket tacos, and they were packed with flavor. The service was just as amazing. Alyssa was our server and she was so sweet and attentive. The chef even came by our table, which made the whole experience extra special. He was a contestant on Chopped, my daughter’s favorite show, so it made her night. Everyone we met was warm and welcoming. Such a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back!

This place was great! As a first-time customer, I was really impressed. Everything I ordered was incredibly flavorful and absolutely delicious. You could tell they paid attention to detail in the preparation. Plus, the food traveled really well and was still perfect when it arrived. The service was also great. I will definitely be ordering from here again!
