Next Door in Essen

Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with my visit to this restaurant. The Jollof Rice was very hard and tasted like it was two days old. The plantains were also old and the chicken was tough and dry. Unfortunately, the fufu wasn't convincing either. I therefore give it a rating of 3/10. Additionally, it would be helpful if the store could clearly state whether it is halal certified or not, as this is important information for many guests. Hopefully these points will be improved in the future

Absolutely recommended. Very great service and the food tastes great

Here you get the best Jollof Rice, fair prices and always delicious!

The food is delicious!! And the attention is very good! I will come back and I totally recommend it

Very Bad Services.. The man or owner hast a very Low communication skills and rude and His son or Boy IS Not in the mood to Work .. never again going there

Very very very terrible customer service. The girl is very rude and the boy acts like someone is begging him to serve. Work on your customer service

Very tasty food👌👌❤️ The best African restaurant in Essen There are also palm wine drinks 🍷 directly from Motherland Ghana 🇬🇭 👍❤️

I ate there a few times for my boyfriend's love. Unfortunately, I only enjoyed the food there once. The other time my fufu soup tasted like fish, even though I didn't order fish but chicken. My chicken was only edible once because the other times it was very hard, dry and tasted old. I wouldn't order food there again after all of this.

Super delicious food at a fair price! You feel super comfortable and the employees are nice too. Gladly again 👍🏽🙏🏾

Very friendly hosts and the food is really worth a visit. Here you can try out typical Ghanaian specialties in a pleasant atmosphere. I'd love to come back :-)

Little insider tip. Super delicious food, great and nice people and you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. The food was better than some highly acclaimed restaurants.

Unfortunately, you weren't cooperative. As a vegetarian, I didn't want any meat dishes, instead I wanted a bean sauce, which cost an additional €2. The price was not reduced and the portion size remained unchanged. I had to pay for the meat, but I didn't receive any additional food. Additionally, my fried plantains were forgotten but arrived after I asked. My friend wanted to take the rest of her food with her. The woman from the kitchen almost threw our takeaway food onto the table. At home it turned out that the Banku, which was still packed (which had already been paid for), had not been given. This could indicate that it is intended to be resold - an impudence.

Delicious food but one of the employees treats the customer like dirt.

Finally an authentic Ghanaian Fufu nkatie kwan!! Me da wo ase paaaaaa!! It was sooooo delicious!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The food was super tasty. Actually a 5 star rating, the service staff apparently didn't enjoy their work (the card was literally thrown on the table), but the cook personally brought the food to the table. Very tasty again

Personal ist sehr höflich und das Essen ist wirklich sehr frisch und lecker. Besser als alles andere weit und breit. Ambiente halt wie in Afrika 💁🏼‍♂️

A true Hidden Gem! A Ghanian restaurant with great dishes and friendly staff

Sehr empfehlenswert,wurde von einen Kollegen mitgenommen und bin vor 2 Wochen als ich in der Gegend war mit Freunden nochmal zum Essen dort.kann ich nur empfehlen

Ich war das erste mal bei Nextdoor und muss sagen, dass das Essen seeeehr gut geschmeckt hat! Der Jollof Reis war super und das Hähnchen sehr aromatisch und knusprig. Die Dips waren einmalig. Gerne wieder!

My first time at this restaurant and my friends and I ordered banku and tilapia and my friends ordered waakye as well. To my disappointment the tilapia was cold and tasted old. I expected it to be fresh however it came to me hard and tasting horrible. Their green pepper they made wasn't the best either. The waiter also didn't have a friendly face on, more like a frown through out the service delivery. I hope they can look into food quality and service delivery.

Super leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal! :)

Wirklich super Bedienung und mega leckeres Essen, kann ich jedem nur weiter empfehlen !

Very sweet, ofcourse a Ghanaian.

Ich komme aus Recklinghausen und das Essen war super lecker. Frisch und sehr reichhaltig. Preislich super. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Though I have had never heard about this restaurant before as not so many West African ones are not in common, after being told, I reservated a table which suposed to take place for Bday party. Alltough it has to be cancelled, I found it good the way the owner informed me about the terms of reservation...And according the way the menu card has been presented with our typical Ghanaian meals, wonderful... I will come next time with my European friends to take Dinner🙂

Es ist schön wieder in Ghana zu sein!

SUPER lecker! Perfekt gewürzt und großzügige Portionen, einer meiner Lieblingsrestaurants!

Good food The man there is very friendly however the woman is a bit rude

Sehr leckeres Essen und weil wir ein wenig auf das Essen gewartet haben (was bei afrikanischen Gerichten ja voll normal ist), kam der Koch & Eigentümer zu uns und hat sich dafür entschuldigt, was nicht mal nötig war. Also super Service auch!

Super lecker und sehr netter Service!!!

Afrika feeling pur es hat einfach alles gestimmt,der Service, das Essen,die Ambiente alles top zum ersten mal ghanesisch gegessen und direkt überwältigt gewesen. Vielen Dank immer wieder gerne

Sehr nette Bedienung, günstige Preise, leckeres Essen. 🫡

I am disappointed. I called several times but no one answered. I came with my family to eat but as at 4pm it was still closed and they are not answering the phone.

Super lecker. Reichlich. Frisch. Sehr freundliches Personal. Nur zu empfehlen

Very good food, nice Service and in time. At the same time they Very nice people.

It is nice to see the afro businesses grow and showcase our great culture and really tasty cuisine, but we would have to work on our service and work etiquette. We lack a whole lot of that. I have come here a couple of times and it has been less than impressive, but oh well we would still support our own, right? If the restaurant should be open at 16:00pm, there is no reason to have people locked outside waiting in packs for over an hour. I witnessed that. Over 15 people waited outside, like it was a holy communion that would never come. The rest got fed up and walked away. Hungry!!! And my order for plantains never came all that time despite being promised it would be ready in 30minutes. I gave them 45minutes , ran in the rain to come get my order, and alas! They needed extra 10minutes. For plantain???? Well, I cancelled the order. I had to. It was just enough. This restaurant "NEXT DOOR" would be the LAST DOOR I would recommend. Adios!

Really delicious Ghanaian (African) food. A bit pricey but the taste compensate for it.

Richtig leckeres und frisches Essen. Der Reis ist überragend lecker und die Portion mehr als sättigend.

If you are a Ghanaian or from any African country and you want a a delicious African or Ghanaian taste of local food and wine then you should visit this place and you will be glad. Delicious food, will definitely visit again.

Food is on point I only wish the food preparation time can be considered

Very delicious I had one fried 🐠 with fried Banane with palm drinks Next time the beans paste 👆 It was big meal. Great thanks to Ghana chef :)

They have some of the most consistently good cooking that i have ever experienced in life. I am a fan 👌💪👍🔥 Keep up the good work

Herzlicher Empfang und gute Beratung zu unbekannten ( für uns) Speisen! Wir kommen gerne wieder!!

I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone, the owner is very rude and shouldn’t be in the hospitality industry.never coming back

Tolles afrikanisches Restaurant. Leckeressen, tolles Ambiente. Sauber. Familiengeführt👍 Nette Bedienung. Sehr empfehlenswert.

During Covid-19 time and weird weather better call in advance! This is my first-time Ghanian food and I come with my Ghanian friend as well. They said the food is authentic like local! The restaurant also serves some imported drinks. Price is reasonable and some I will consider budget-friendly. Food serves hot and pretty fresh. The taste is good. I like her Fufu. Good experience and friendly atmosphere!!

Leckeres Essen, sehr freundliches Personal!

If you love Ghanaian cuisine, this is the place to visit. There's a car park nearby. They accept only cash so bear that in mind before you go there. The nearest bank is at the train station.

Gestern hat meine Freundin mich in dieses Lokal, gebracht. Das Essen war sehr lecker, die Wartezeit war völlig ok. Wir haben nicht zu lange gewartet, das Essen war frisch und heiss ! Der Fisch war ausgezeichnet war gut gewürzt. Jedoch für Leute die es nicht so scharf mögen müssen dies auf jeden Fall anmerken da es schon gut scharf war. Werde gerne wieder kommen wenn ich mal wieder in der Stadt bin !

Super leckeres Essen. Sehr authentische Afrikanische Küche. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Sehr lecker und sehr freundlich.

Delicious! 10 out of 10, would recommend.

I really enjoyed the meal with my brothers.

Super leckeres Essen und der Service ist super, danke dafür! :)

Super Atmosphäre, sehr familiär

Sehr gutes Essen, freundliche Bedienung! Kommen sehr gerne zu euch ❤
