Ike’s Café & Grill hosted a ribbon-cutting, open house, and community celebration on May 8. Located at 724 Cherokee St NE in Marietta, the event welcomed local officials, members of the media, community, and guests from throughout metro Atlanta.

Ike Kwarteng, Founder of Ike’s Café & Grill, said the new location reflects the brand’s continued expansion.

“We wanted to create a space where people could experience African hospitality, culture, and food in a welcoming environment that brings people together,” shared Kwarteng.

Menu Highlights at African Restaurant

The new 3,200-square-foot Ike’s Café & Grill restaurant is the latest addition to the brand’s popular ghost kitchen concept launched in 2025. The concept built a loyal customer base through delivery and takeout operations.

The full-service restaurant is now open, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor seating and is minutes away from Marietta Square.

Ike’s Café & Grill is known for its spicy African flavors and grill-focused menu. Guests can enjoy smoky jollof rice, suya, egusi soup, grilled meats and fish, sweet plantain, and breakfast specialties like puff puff. The café-style coffee offerings include handcrafted espresso and specialty coffees.

Ike’s Café & Grill was founded by the Kwarteng family. It has grown to become a thriving hospitality company with restaurants in Georgia and Ghana, ghost kitchens, and boutique hotel properties. The new Marietta location is another step in the company’s expansion plans in metro Atlanta, with an additional location expected at Edgewood Avenue.
