The ambiance is very nice - second floor seating has a lot of greenery around. The waiters were extremely polite and helpful. Of course the food like in all the other places took a long time to be prepared but this also means that it is being prepared from scratch and not defrosted quickly like in most developed world restaurants....

I was here at the end of 2012. Ordered pounded yam and peanut soup with fried cassava fish. The food was piping hot and very tasty. However, I was ready to gnaw my arm off by the time it arrived...took about 45 minutes. I would go there again for the food though. Yes, it's in the mall, but if you... More

Service is extremely slow and the quality of the dishes is poor. I have heard good things about goups, by my personal experience at the restaurant has been disappointing.

Great Outdoor Restaurant with all the local and west african dishes , like Fufu , Achake with Tilapia , fried yams and plantains. Sumptious. Built from Bamboo with upper levels. Perfect for lunches and price is very reasonable.

Tante Marie is a combination of good food, efficient service (except when it comes to the bill, they should invest in a calculator) and a great ambiance. And even though the surrounding isn't anything to write home about (the Accra Mall, the same one as all the other malls in the world), the decor, the furniture and the lighting all... More

Be ready to wait . Service can be slow but THAT is normal in this part of the world. Eating here means time taken to enjoy company of friends, time to have a good conversation and enjoy their company. Grill fish is the one to go for. Also the light goat soup.

Great food, but not so great service, we had to wait for over 45 minutes to get our order, and when the food finally came, they got our orders wrong! however great food and original African cuisine any time, worth a second visit despite the very slow response time.

I usually have dinner here when i visit Accra, and apart from the fact that they take very long to serve the food after you order, you better not be too hungry when you go there, you may get frustrated. However, the meals are hot, fresh and tasty, all at. Good value for money.

My experiences at Tante Marie (at the Accra Mall) have been great and the food excellent. The service was a little slow but well worth the wait. I like the variety of dishes available on the menu, not just from Ghana but from other West African countries (Nigeria, Ivory Coast etc)! Based on my experiences, I would certainly recommend this...

Lovely food, generous portions my favourite place in Accra to eat Talapia and kelewele! Relatively expensive but worth it for the quality.
