A family-owned West African restaurant is set to bring bold flavors to Northeast Philadelphia.
Lynup Cafe and Lounge, run by Prince Gbee and Winifred Krofah, is set to open at 7803 Frankford Avenue.
The menu will showcase authentic flavors, highlighting meat and fish dishes. Standouts include attiéké with tender lamb and cassava couscous made from the starchy root vegetable cassava, crispy snapper, fried plantains and grilled beef or lamb.
They will also serve soups and stews, including goat meat pepper soup, cassava leaves with rice, and egusi, a dish made from melons, squash and gourds, served with pounded yam.
“Every dish is prepared with care, honoring tradition while offering a fresh, unforgettable experience. Whether you join us for brunch, happy hour, or late-night dining, our menu is designed to delight with bold flavors and inviting hospitality,” the website reads.
Ginger drinks, soda and fresh juice round out the menu, perfectly complementing the dishes.
Lynup Cafe and Lounge is set to open at the end of March. Once open, it will be open Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight.
