LEBANESE & TURKISH

Lebanese food is the dominating cuisine in this category. Lebanese influence in Ghana is far-reaching and Lebanese food can be found from Accra to Tamale. Ghana has a large Lebanese and mixed Lebanese/Ghanaian community. There is also an increasing Turkish influence in Ghana, which can only be good for Accra's repertoire of restaurants.

DNR TURKISH CAFE

Excellent Turkish kebab house with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a small playground for kids. Turkish 'pides', similar to pizzas, are a speciality. Salad and fresh-baked Turkish bread is served with all meals and they've even adopted jollof rice, their version of which is very tasty. Portions are huge and prices reasonable. Nice change from Lebanese cuisine.

Amazing meze-style Lebanese food. Decor is old-fashioned but it doesn't matter as the food is so amazing. Good service, nice wines and excellent desserts (try the creme caramel). Very reasonably priced, good for big groups but call ahead to book.

Location: Labadi Road next door to Joker’s, La, Accra.
Telephone: 030 2772417, 030 2775858, 024 4741826


FRANKIE'S

Frankie's is one of Osu's oldest hangouts, serving delicious Lebanese kebabs alongside ice cream, pastries and fast food. Try the foule (beans and pitta bread) for lunch and the kafta kebab sandwich for lunch. There is also a branch at the Accra Mall but it is much smaller.
