The service was excellent. Our waitress was knowledgeable and willing to explain the menu. The Bokum greens were awesome and the fufu was delicious. 4/18/2013 8:12:40 AM
Environment was empty and dim. Music came on later towards the end of our meal. We walked in and weren't greeted and I asked "Can we sit anywhere"...even though we had a reservation. 7/31/2012 9:27:09 PM

The food is very authentic. I've lived in West Africa and the dishes I ate tasted just as I remembered them and the atmosphere was the same! 7/24/2011 6:13:46 PM

Highlights

Bukom Cafe was the first West African eatery to appear in town, and it can't help but stand out from the plethora of Ethiopian restaurants that blanket the metropolitan area. Named after a popular bar-restaurant district in Accra, the capital of Ghana, Bukom is in every way West African in spirit and look. Located in the heart of Adams-Morgan, Bukom Cafe's rich and bold flavors and nightly live entertainment will transport you back to the motherland. Choose from West African classics such as okra soup, fufu, egusi and oxtail stew. The kitchen closes at midnight, but you can stay to enjoy an eclectic mixture of world music. Bukom also has two separate areas that can be used for private parties and events, and a second bar to make sure guest can quench their thirst. Perfect for a quick bite, a gathering of family or friends, or a night out with that special someone; Bukom is also available to cater you next special occasion. So, come savor the flavor of West African cuisine and world entertainment.
