Asanka

Tried Asanka with a Hyperli voucher which offered a three course meal. Meals were well prepared and presented, but found the flavours a little underwhelming. Service was friendly and the decor for my taste was a bit blingy. This is a restaurant specializing in West African cuisine, so worth a try for something different.

Great food .Very sophisticated cuisine and layers of flavor .Very good wine list.Chilled atmosphere and excellent waiters.Enjoyed the night out and can highly recommend this gem.

Asanka, a Ghanaian grinding pot, is a place where African flavours are fused together with a cosmopolitan style that Sandton is accustom to.<br/ <br/ The food was a 50/50. The Baharat Prawn was really nothing to write home about and the Poached Strawberry dessert was incorrectly described and very plain. We haven't tried everything, but what we can say is go for the Oxtail Stew and Harissa Brisket, it was just divine, no, it was... Bewitching. Proper portion sizes with bold and tasty flavours, these were a real winner.<br/ <br/ It was very odd that the restaurant didn't have a lot of the ingredients that they used in their menu. More than half of the cocktails, a few sides and half of the desserts weren't available. These are only the ones we know of as we tried to order them but couldn't.<br/ <br/ Our main complaint would be the service. It really felt like our waitress wasn't trained properly, she was rarely at the table and we had to look around and indicate that we wanted to order something. She also didn't notify us about the unavailable menu items, which was very unpleasant, especially when we were waiting the whole evening for a certain dessert that wasn't available.<br/ <br/ Atmosphere was amazing. Big open fancy looking restaurant with modern art pieces all round and decor to set anyone at ease. With this was some light Afro fusion music which really set a nice mood for the evening.<br/ <br/ We do feel the restaurant was a bit expensive if you look at the negative points of the evening. A Hamilton Russel Chardanay bottle was going for R820, now we know this is an amazing wine but that is one hell of a markup. Also, 2 pieces of normal sized prawn for R70 is kind of stretching it.<br/ <br/ TTT’s rating out of 5: Food 4 Service 2.5 Atmosphere – 5   Value 3<br/  <br/ Asanka gets a fist bump from Two Tasty Tummies

WOW, WOW! Went on the 29th of Jan(for my birthday , and I have found 1 of my fave restaurants! Had the prawn starter, and the oxtail with jolof rice for mains! I will be going back to Asanka very soon! The décor, food and service was just amazing! Thank you guys :
