Calabash African Cuisine is a Ghanaian-owned restaurant in the DMV area, specifically in Alexandria, known for its exceptional African dishes.
It has garnered a loyal following among food enthusiasts across America, particularly through an event called the Jollof Festival, held during the summer.
Calabash has proudly claimed the title of best Jollof Festival winner in the DMV area for three consecutive years, achieving victories in 2024, 2025, and the recently concluded 2026 edition.
The Jollof Festival is an important event on the annual calendar that deserves recognition.
Chef Kafui Attakpa, hailing from Ghana's Volta region, truly excels in his culinary skills.
One of the most favored dishes among Americans is spinach stew and fufu, and when it runs out, expect lively discussions. We appreciate your visit, and this message holds significant importance for the team and everyone at Calabash.
