Be sure to make a reservation or call in advance to order
Be sure to make a reservation or call in advance to order as they get pretty busy. I stopped by during a weekday and they were still pretty full. The outside is a little unassuming as I didn't realize it was such a big space that can even host s

Kai, our server, was lovely, and the lamb jollof dinner and mango cocktail were off the chain. Last night was the third time I've eaten at Akadi and I want to make it a weekly event. Twice, I've enjoyed live jazz here as well. Plus: how do
We ate here last night for the first time.
My wife and I both thought that it was the best meal we've had in years. We ordered the fried plantains, red stew with tofu, and the spinach stew with tofu. Everything was amazing and cooked perfectly. The sauce in the red stew has layers of

Great service and food, especially the namesake Akadi sauce! Our group of 4 had a Saturday dinner reservation, and it's a good thing we did because the place was almost completely full the whole time we were here. We had all been looking at

Beautiful ambiance, delicious food, lovely, lively, excellent. Though my waiter Kai did not greet himself to my duo. I know of his name as I heard him introduce himself to the duo next to my table in a quite welcoming manner at that we did not recei
The food was good and flavorful.
However, the service is terrible. It seems like all the workers have short term memory. They gave us the wrong item, we told them we got two of something else. We asked 3 different times for a missing item to two different servers. By the time we got
AMAZING food and service.
A must stop if you're in the area. I highly recommend the appetizer sampler to get a good taste of all of them. And the beef skewers are chefs kiss! Do yourself a favor and get here soon!
We loved everything about this place.
The epinard grille was on the salty side but with the corn fufu was SO good. The chicken poulet choukouya was super tender and seasoned so well that it was definitely the highlight of the night. Can't wait to come back to try other things!

Got the wings and a big leg of meat and it was all absolutely delicious. Additional near perfect fried plantains. Highly recommend.

We decided to try Akadi on a random Wednesday during our visit to Portland, and I am so glad we did. I had never experienced West African food before, but had heard wonderful things, and this restaurant truly lived up to the excitement. From the mom
I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
It's bright and gives an outdoor vibe inside. The place was packed and we waited like 15-20 mins for a table. There were several options for the type of table you may prefer. We were sat on a leather couch with a long shorter table. Creating a c
We loved trying West African food.
The wing trio was exceptional. This is firmly in the rotation as "go to" places for us going forward.

Poor service n food is no true representation of west African cuisine. Maybe that's how they cook their food in what ever part of west Africa they from but as a Cameroonian ( west Africa) our food is nothing like this.waited 1.5 hours for take o

Five stars can't do justice! Very friendly staff.
Food was great. Tried the Joloff meal with chicken, beef and Lamb. Rice a tad salty. They handled food allergies. It is great they have nut free, gf, df options. Should work on answering the phones, especially for guests from afar!

Horrible service, but a tasty culinary experience
We waited 15 minutes for a host, only to wait another 20 minutes for a reserved table. We ordered drinks and a large shared hors d’oeuvre. The first taste was tasty well seasoned chicken and plantain pastries. However, the drinks arrived long afte
Connect with users posting reservations for AKADI PDX Portland
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with AKADI PDX Portland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to AKADI PDX Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the AKADI PDX Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at AKADI PDX Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at AKADI PDX Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
