Akadi - Portland

We had an excellent lunch in akadi and divided four entrees between four adults. most of the excellent African cuisine in portland is from horn, so it was great to have something from the west. we remember very much baobab (senegal) years ago, but akadi (cote d’ivoire) is much better for vegans. the mafe and the yassa were delicious, especially with fufu. the gofu (tofu in a spicy red sauce) was my favorite. and the pfeffer soup cut the cold winter day. we didn't leave food back. we look forward to going back and try the okra/spinach and the other tofu court. excellent and friendly service.

This is, no joke, probably the best meal we’ve ever had in Portland. I’d highly recommend the peanut stew (add tofu) and the assorted mushrooms, but also, no reason to believe anything is worse! Check the vegan section on the back of the menu, they’ve got basically everything in a vegan version. Do be prepared to wait a bit. P.S. don’t sleep on that hot sauce!!

Dedicated vegan section in the menu. The spicy okra and spinach dish with fufu is great. I usually get some plantains to go with it.

Well I came out to here the music of Chris Stone and friends Sunday night. The vibe wonderful! The Food exceptional! The Service excellent! The music very nice! Josh I bartender was amazing as well. Prices very affordable! Josh or bartender in the photo! We will be back!

Some of the best food I have had in Portland. You can tell the team puts a lot of thought in how their dishes compliment each other, and they are all prepared with such care. I will definitely be back! It is true that they seem to be working out how to optimally serve everyone, so our service was a bit inconsistent, but everyone is very patient and kind. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
