New African Restaurant In Phoenix

MAX'S MUKHAASE AFRICAN RESTAURANT OPEN IN MESA: WEST AFRICAN CUISINE IN THE SOUTHEAST VALLEY

An authentic West African Cuisine is open in Mesa , Phoenix Metro in Arizona. African cuisine is by no means widespread in Phoenix, but those who know where to look can fairly easily enjoy spongy, crepe-like injera from Ethiopia and the savory-sweet meat pie called bastilla from Morocco.
When it comes to finding West African specialties like Banku, Fufu, Omo-tuo,Waakye, Pouded Yam, Red Red, Fried Yam and Chofi, etc your options become limited. In fact, one of the only places you'll be able to find that dish may be at the newly opened Max's Mukhaase in Mesa. Located in a strip mall 1245 w Guadalupe Rd Mesa AZ 85202, cross street Alma Schoo Rd and Guadalupe next to Safeway Store. — in a neighborhood well known for its Asian dining options nonetheless — the restaurant specializes specifically in food from West Africa. Owner and chef, Max, emigrated from Ghana to the United States and worked at Intel prior to opening his own restaurant. He says cooking has always been a passion. In addition to offering catering services, the restaurant serves a brief but diverse menu of hearty Ghanaian dishes. Max’s Mukaase African Restaurant opens Tuesdays to Saturday 11:00am to 11:00pm and 1:00pm to 10:00pm on Sundays. Don forget the weekend special Tuo Zaafi (Die huo), Omo Tuo, homemade Abenkwan and Nkate Konto whiles enjoying your favorites African Music.
