I rarely make these comments, so its intended to be constructive and in good faith. Food is ok no issues. But way overpriced, it would have been ok if the portion sizes we decent. But it felt we didnt get much for our money.

Some things are ridiculously overpriced on their menu. Paid £11.50 for red red - black eyed beans stew and its half way in container.
The food was nice enough.
3 stars because of the wait time and customer service. The female staff member, gave us a 25 min wait time; in reality it was 45 mins, no apology or anything.

My guess is as soon as word spreads worldwide about The Gold Coast Bar & Restaurant, bookings will be at a premium so treat yourself as soon as possible to this amazing and fun entertainment experience...
The menu is extraordinary and the food we had was like we've never had before...
We hope we will be able to visit again one day... The Gold Coast Bar & Restaurant was amazing!!

As I’m walking out I’m so disappointed. This is by far worst Ghanaian restaurant in London, service is horrible waited one and a half hours for our food.
Fried yam over done grilled tilapia over done and dry tasteless. Jollof was dry. Best thing was the beef stew.

Good was lovely and tasted fresh ,well cooked and nicely spiced. I had yam balls and chefs special chicken,others on my table had tilapia and fried yam and banku. Took more than 30mins to arrive but was informed when ordering. Lovely music on Friday and not too crowded.

The oldest Ghanaian pub/restaurant in London. They serve pretty much all major Ghanaian dishes and drinks at very high quality. The waiters are very respectful and professional. Before covid, they held some live bands and invited Djs to entertain customers. There is a VIP section. Customers can either walk in or reserve a table for events. Parking can get tough at times as you need to find space to park in the neighbourhood. There are now some bays reserved for electric cars.

Visited here with family and travelled from West London. Really glad we went food was amazing. My only issues is I personally think price is slightly too high but food is good quality and flavour, so maybe justified? And the inside seemed dark all round. But overall really enjoyed and will be visiting again

The venue is ok. I went here for a friends birthday and ordered beef stew and jellof rice. The rice was ok, but the beef stew was stone cold and SALTY! I ended up sending it straight back to the chef, as it was… not eatable. I also ordered spicy wings and EXTRA hot wings came out. Wings were terrible! They were extremely hot that they also could not be eaten by anyone in my group. I really wasn’t impressed with the food and the amount of oil that was in the beef stew . The customer service was poor and nothing was done about the complaints that were made. I would not recommend this

The customer service wasn't too good and the restaurant area is too boring.

The food was great the service was outstanding and I loved the music. Hence the reason I'm going back there for a girls night out on 2/12
