Veghana Street Food Festival at Media One
Date: Wed 15 Feb 2023
Time: 6pm - 12
Venue: Gardenon8, Media One Hotel, Media City, Dubai
Booking: WhatsApp +971 50 884 3094.
Why is street food in Ghana so delicious? Because a lot of the food we eat at home, is not made at home. We buy from cooked food from ‘the street’, allowing women to have time to work.
Traditionally we don’t have the concept or even a word for house-wife, babies go to work with mums, or stay home with grandmas – who cook ‘the street-food’.
With our modern take on Ghanaian street food, Veghana offers air-fried options on our menu – as well as the original fried yumminess. To try delicious Ghanaian street food, join us for Veghana’s Street Food Festival at @Gardenon8, Media One Hotel.
