CLOSED: Asempe Kitchen Restaurant
Asempe Kitchen offers authentic West African Ghanaian vegan cuisine with robust and flavorful dishes like egusi spinach stew, red red black-eyed peas, and sweet plantains. Primarily operating as a take-out and catering service, it hosts occasional seating at the Ithaca Farmer's Market and a brick-and-mortar location with a casual, welcoming atmosphere and quick service. The owner is noted for exceptional hospitality and community engagement, though meat is served on Sundays in the same kitchen, which may concern strict vegans.
