The menu at Calabash African Cuisine and Bar may be short, but this Alexandria eatery offers authentic African fare, packed with flavors that you're sure to enjoy. Just try the Jollof Rice. This dish is a particular hit among regulars, and it's unlikely you'll find it at many other restaurants in Alexandria. It's inspired by a traditional dish from Ghana, featuring rice that is seared in tomato sauce with a special blend of seasonings and then topped with your choice of fish, goat, or beef.
The Waakye is another popular dish, this one showcasing brown rice that slow-cooks with black-eyed peas in a house-made sauce of shrimp, peppers, and fresh ginger. Again, this eat comes topped with whichever protein you prefer. If you're looking for a truly unique and flavorful dinner, you'll find it at Calabash, so be sure to check it out!
