Gold Coast Bar Restaurant - Croydon

This has to be hands down the worst service I've ever experienced. We arrived and was taken to our seat. It took them over 20 minutes to come and take our drinks order. We then ordered food and drinks together and the food took over an hour and a half to arrive. We had to threaten to leave for the food to come and then when the food eventually came. Some of the food was cold, some of the food was missing. To make matters worse, we were charged for the food that never arrived. We saw several people come and eventually leave because the service was soo poor. The staff seemingly prioritised friends and made sure there food came first even though some had arrived 30mins to an hour before us. I will never return to this place.

This was the worst service ever! Waited for 2 hours after ordering the food! Then they put service charge Too expensive for not so great food! Not doing going back!

I love African food so I pop in for take away occasionally. I been there one Sunday afternoon for a drink.I found the place friendly and familiar. lovely little garden. I must go there one Saturday night..

Absolutely loved the food, exactly how I remember some of the best meals I had during a trip to the real Gold Coast earlier in the year. Took me right back to Accra, will definitely visit again, thank you!

Before I even go into detail about my experience. I think it 's important to tell others that after visiting this place myself and 3 other members of my family have been seriously ill as an result of the food we ate here. I am disgusted by this place and the quality of food they served to people. I am of Ghanaian decent and would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I think it is truly despicable that a place of business can charge people and serve them food that is clearly not fit for human consumption.I visited here on Thursday for a family birthday. Upon walking into the 'restaurant ' I wanted to leave but unfortunately I didn 't have that option- my family was waiting inside. The venue is terrible to put it nicely. After sitting down for a while we were suddenly greeted with water dripping from the toilet above onto our table. We were told it was 'the washing machine ', and moved up stairs. Yes we should have left at this point. But due to how far we traveled and the fact it was my sister birthday we stayed. We ordered a variety of dishes. Which all arrived inconsistently- my main came once the rest of my family had finished. I don 't eat meat (which saved me from serious illness) but a number of my family members noted that the meat tasted old. Nothing taste fresh, or authentic. Added to that some dishes came lukewarm. The kelewele (plantain dish) tasted like it was cooked previously and heated up in old oil. Seriously how can plantain not be fresh. Other than the amazing company of my family I really have nothing good to say about this place. But can maybe give them some credit for their fried yam. It saddens me on so many levels that I have to write such a bad review about a business. This place gives Ghanian food a bad reputation and does nothing to celebrate the delicious dishes we make. I can honestly say I this was the worst dining experience I have ever had.
