Palace Gate Restaurant in Chicago offers an authentic taste of West African, particularly Ghanaian, cuisine. The menu boasts rich, traditional dishes like Jollof with Chicken, a vibrant one-pot rice dish infused with tomatoes and spices, and Waakye with Beef, a hearty blend of rice and beans served with tender meat. Noteworthy are the comforting soups—Peanut Butter Soup and Light Soup—that pair wonderfully with classic staples such as Fufu and Plantain Fufu, providing a satisfying, hearty experience. Banku with Fried Tilapia highlights the unique corn-based dough coupled with crispy fish, creating a balance of flavors. While the menu lacks detailed descriptions, the bold use of spices and use of plantains bring a genuine, rustic charm. Despite some critiques on pricing and atmosphere, the dishes, especially those featuring plantains and savory stews, offer an immersive culinary glimpse into Ghanaian heritage, making Palace Gate a must-visit for adventurous palates eager to explore true West African flavors.
