Best Vegan Food and Plant Based Options are on the Menu in Accra Ghana

Hello, everyone! I’m Ama Kambon, the kid chef here at Nkwa Dua, and I’m thrilled to share a bit about our menu and why people love our food so much.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Guests

First, I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has dined with us, left reviews, or shared your experiences. 🤗 We’re beyond grateful to each person who’s come to Nkwa Dua – from locals, vegans, and foodies to travelers. You’re all making plant-based eating an exciting part of Ghana’s food scene. It’s truly an honor to be recognized as one of the best vegan restaurants in Accra, Ghana, and, therefore, your support inspires us every day.

What Makes Nkwa Dua Special?

If you’re new to Nkwa Dua, you may wonder what makes our dishes stand out. Here, we believe vegan food should be flavorful, nourishing, and celebrate Ghanaian culture. To bring out the best in plant-based ingredients, we’ve created a menu that includes traditional Ghanaian favorites, fusion options, and internationally inspired dishes. Using fresh, locally sourced, often organic ingredients, we aim to delight both vegan foodies and those trying plant-based cuisine for the first time.

Gourmet Pizza That’s Vegan and Delicious

In our Gourmet Pizza section, we transform a familiar favorite with creative, high-quality twists. A popular choice is our Animal Lovers Pizza, known for its thick crust, homemade tomato sauce, and a delicious blend of hearty veggies, all topped with melted vegan cheese. Many customers rave about our fresh, flavorful toppings. Another favorite, the Palava Pizza, brings a Ghanaian twist with spinach and Egusi, a nod to our beloved Palava Sauce. Consequently, people regularly tell us how much they love the flavors and quality. We’re grateful for the wonderful feedback that makes these pizzas a top choice.

Fusion Dishes: Global Inspiration Meets Ghanaian Tradition

Our Fusion Dishes offer something truly unique. Blending global and Ghanaian flavors, they feel exciting yet familiar. For instance, the Spaghetti with Egusi Sauce combines Italian pasta with the rich, nutty flavor of Egusi, a Ghanaian seed. This fusion blends smooth pasta with a hearty, nutritious sauce, highlighting the best of both worlds. Another favorite, the BBQ Strips, features smoky-marinated, perfectly grilled strips that show off the versatility of vegan food.

Ghanaian/Traditional Dishes

Our Ghanaian/Traditional Dishes bring plant-based versions of beloved Ghanaian flavors to life. The Waakye, a classic rice and beans dish, is prepared with traditional herbs and spices. This vegan version allows everyone to enjoy this iconic dish without any animal products. Jollof Rice is also a must-have, especially if you’re looking for that perfect Ghanaian taste. Known for its spiced tomato base and irresistible flavor, Jollof remains a hit among all who try it.

Main Courses: Hearty, Filling, and Plant-Based

For those who want a substantial meal, our Main Courses offer options that showcase the heartiness of plant-based ingredients. The Chickpea Cutlet is particularly popular, with its tender chickpea patty that’s crispy on the outside. Served alongside fresh vegetables or grains, it’s a balanced, protein-packed, and gluten-free option. Guests frequently tell us how much they enjoy these main dishes, with many returning for more.

Burgers & Wraps for a Quick, Satisfying Meal

Our Burgers & Wraps make ideal choices for guests who need a quick, satisfying meal. The BBQ Jackfruit Wrap is especially popular. Packed with seasoned jackfruit, fresh vegetables, and our signature house-made sauce, this wrap has become a favorite for locals and travelers alike. We love hearing guests say it’s the best vegan wrap they’ve ever had!

Soups: Warm and Satisfying

Our Soups offer warmth and comfort. The Cream of Mushroom Soup is a crowd-pleaser, made with fresh, local mushrooms, herbs, and a creamy, dairy-free base. In addition, the Tomato Soup uses fresh tomatoes and basil for a bright, savory flavor. Both soups are gluten-free and made with organic ingredients, making them a healthy, tasty choice.

Colorful, Nutrient-Packed Salads

Our Salads are colorful, nutrient-rich, and perfect for those who want a lighter option. The Loaded Salad is packed with fresh greens, seasonal vegetables, and nutrient-dense toppings, making it a meal in itself. Additionally, our Avocado Cucumber Salad, with creamy avocado and crisp cucumber, is a refreshing choice on a sunny Accra day. Health-conscious guests frequently tell us they appreciate the effort we put into sourcing organic ingredients.

Rich and Comforting Pasta Bakes

In our Pasta Bakes section, you’ll find rich, filling, and satisfying dishes. The Alfredo Pasta Bake has quickly gained popularity with regulars. It combines a creamy, plant-based alfredo sauce with perfectly baked pasta, creating a comfort food dish that many love. We’re always thrilled to hear how much guests enjoy it.

As Above Sobolo: A Drink That Stands Out

One drink that deserves special mention is our As Above Sobolo. Traditionally, Sobolo is a common hibiscus drink in Ghana, often served as an inexpensive refreshment. However, Chef Ama has elevated it to a new level. The As Above Sobolo is slow-brewed with high-quality ingredients and unique flavors, creating a rich, bold drink packed with antioxidants. Therefore, many guests say it’s the best Sobolo in Accra! Guests describe it as a “gourmet experience” for a drink that’s often overlooked.

Sweet Treats: Cheesecake & More

Our Gourmet Cheesecake & Cakes are a popular choice, offering a sweet, indulgent finish to any meal. Two of our favorites, the Hibiscus Drizzle Cheesecake and Chocolate Drizzle Cheesecake, feature smooth, creamy textures and are entirely dairy-free. These desserts bring a bit of luxury to vegan dining, and guests often tell us how much they appreciate the craftsmanship in each dessert.

Tropical Desserts

In addition to our cheesecakes, we offer Desserts like the Pineapple Turnover, made with local pineapple. Meanwhile, our Mango Sorbet captures Ghanaian flavors in a refreshing way. Both kids and adults love these treats, bringing a taste of the tropics to your table.

Refreshing Smoothies

Our Smoothies provide a refreshing, nutrient-rich option to cool down. The Moringa Mango Smoothie combines moringa’s superfood benefits with the sweet taste of mango. With no added sugars, these smoothies are guilt-free treats that guests frequently rave about.

Catering Platters & Event Catering

Nkwa Dua also offers Catering Platters & Event Catering, making it easy to bring our beloved dishes to your gatherings. Notably, the Loaded Salad Platter is a popular choice, filled with greens and toppings that are perfect for sharing. We’re thankful to everyone who has chosen Nkwa Dua for their events, and we love bringing our flavors to your celebrations.

Made Fresh, With No Preservatives

At Nkwa Dua, we believe food is best when it’s fresh and natural. That’s why we don’t use canned tomato paste, artificial preservatives, or additives. Instead, we make our sauces from scratch each day, preserving the authentic flavors of Ghana without any added chemicals.

Supporting Ghanaian Farmers

We proudly support local Ghanaian farmers, sourcing most of our produce directly from them. This approach ensures everything we serve is fresh, seasonal, and sustainable. While we prioritize local ingredients, we also bring in a few select items like chickpeas, olives, and black beans to enhance the diversity of our menu.
