Ghana has strived to hold on to it’s age long culture since centuries which has bestowed it with the honour of being one of the most traditionally rich places in the world and this richness is quite explicit in it’s local cuisine. Some of the tastiest dishes in the world come from Ghana’s kitchen as they incorporate local crops and seasonal foods in the best possible manner. It is very difficult to select a few for ranking but still I have chosen some most popular ones that you should definitely order in Ghanaian restaurant, when you plan your trip to this country and book your flights to Accra from London.

1) Chichinga- The best way to experience a country’s cuisine is through it’s street food and Chichinga is one of the few Ghanaian foods which is best able to portray the real taste of Ghana through it’s mouth watering Kebabs made from beef and sausages.

2) Banku — If you are crazy for anything about corn, Banku is the dish that you can rely upon. It is made from fermented corn served in the form of orange sized balls with stews, soups or any kind of meat dish. A combination of Banku and Tilapia fish stew is the all time favourite of people.

3) Waakye –Pronounce it as Wa Chi! This is the dish that displays the true love of Ghana for rice and beans. This spicy Ghanaian food can be relished with either fried fish, egg, spaghetti or fried chicken but should not be missed for sure.

4) Red Red — Those who are not really fond of beans, should once try this dish which will establish your faith in their good taste. Cooked into a fine curry, involving a mix of prawns or fish this is the dish most looked up for relishing true Ghanaian flavour.

5) Fried Rice with Chicken — A well prepared bowl of fried rice can make even the most fussy foodie, crave for a second serving. This delicacy is much hyped for it’s conventional combination of Joll of Rice with chicken which is made using traditional spices and freshest tomatoes.

If this description has ignited the desire in you to visit yourself and pamper your taste buds with a unique and appetizing Ghanian flavour, all you have to do is consult some good flight agents and confirm your booking in cheap flights to Accra.
