Mama Lee's

Mama Lee's is a corner spot right in the heart of Accra's bustling food streets, where the smell of stew and fried fish always draws the crowd. It is exactly the kind of place a visitor expects from a classic Ghanaian chop bar, serving hearty plates of rice with stew, banku with okra soup, and all the familiar flavours that fill a local home. No fancy signs or queues here—just a glass window showing who is cooking and a small chair to wait for your food. You will find Mama Lee's tucked on a busy road near the Makola Market area, where everyone walks past but stops at the smell of spice and hot oil coming from her kitchen. She cooks everything fresh each day, and the portions are always big enough to share with a neighbour at the next table.
