About Kate's Cafe & Restaurant
Kate's Cafe & Restaurant in Plaistow serves generous portions of authentic Ghanaian food in a lively, music-filled atmosphere that feels like a proper family gathering. Run by 70-year-old Kate, the spot is best known for its Nkatenkwan, bean stew, and tilapia with fried yam and plantain — many regulars say the flavours match home-cooked Sunday meals. Families appreciate the straightforward counter-ordering system and the buggy-friendly space and highchairs available. The music runs loud (live DJ at times), creating an energetic party vibe that groups love. Reviewers mention Emmanuel and Jeff for patient service. Portions are so large that most diners need takeaway boxes (50p), making it excellent value for hungry families.
