Elmina is a contemporary Ghanaian restaurant in Washington DC by celebrated chef and restaurateur, Eric Adjepong. Influenced by his love for global cuisines, the aim is a bold dining experience that goes beyond a mere meal.

A dish so delicious, it bests your mother’s cooking.
Tom Sietsema, Washington Post
Tastes of the Diaspora.
Elmina brings the vibrant flavors of Ghana to life with a playful, modern twist. Chef Adjepong serves up a delicious mix of refined tasting menus and casual “chop bar” bites—think smoky jollof rice with tamarind duck, melt-in-your-mouth fufu with peanut-goat stew, and crispy chofi (fried turkey tail) with spicy shito. The indulgence continues with desserts like mango pavlova and malva pudding cake, making every meal feel like a joyful culinary adventure.
