Sankofa African Restaurant - 2254 Webster Avenue - West African (Nigerian/Ghana)
One of several such restaurants on the Webster avenue strip, Sankofa specializes in west african fare - serving up staples such as fish flavored with palm oil, fermented kenkey, and the cassava mash known as gari. As a practicing vegetarian, I gravitated towards the sides - ordering spinach, beans and two types of mash (a gut busting amount for only $10.) Though not spectacular, all proved to be servicably tasty. Not good enough to warrant a trip from other boroughs...but worth a try...at least if you're in the neighborhood.
