Looking for authentic Ghanaian cuisine in Maryland near Beltsville? Look no further than Cape Coast Cuisine! Whether you're Ghanaian, African, or simply a lover of delicious food, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a true taste of Ghana right here in Beltville Maryland, U.S. One of the highlights is their mini buffet section, where you can mix and match your favorites - from Jollof rice, Waakye, and plain rice to a variety of tasty sides. The best part? You're free to create any combination you like, and the portions are generous. No restrictions, just good food 😋. I can’t write this review without giving a special shoutout to my favorite Ghanaian dish: Kelewele. Cape Coast Cuisine’s version is 99.9999% as delicious as what you'd find in Ghana — spicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. 😋 And of course, a warm thank you to Auntie Monitor, whose friendliness and hospitality perfectly reflect the welcoming spirit of the Ghanaian people. I’ll be coming back again, and again, and again.

Call ahead of time to place your order, else they wait time is ~25min. Doordash wouldn’t deliver to Silver Spring because it’s too far away. So I had to pick up my order by myself. The attendant was courteous and helped me take my stuff to my car. Portion sizes are big enough for the price. Parking is available in a lot right behind CVS. I liked the food. Recommended.

I guess I expected more from others speaking about it. There was only one person working at the restaurant. A woman and three workers in back. Had to grab our own menus. Food came out after about 15 minutes.. the portion was a lot, which was good seasoning left much to be desired, but my husband liked his. My food was ok at best, probably won’t go back.
