The menu specializes in cuisine from Burkina Faso and the Ivory Coast, and has seafood and vegetarian options.[2] Options include fried plantains, plantain fufu, and stews.[3]
Akadi originally operated at 3601 Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the Boise neighborhood.[4] During the COVID-19 pandemic, business had declined by 50 percent, as of July 2020.[5] In December 2020, Ouattara confirmed plans to close temporarily on December 31.[6] Akadi reopened in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood in May 2022, along with its sister business, House of Flavor.[7]
In 2018, Akadi was named one of Portland’s Best New Restaurants by Portland Monthly.[8] In 2019, Michael Russell included Akadi in The Oregonian's list of the city's 10 best new restaurants.[9] In 2020, Eater Portland's Brooke Jackson-Glidden said the Attieke Poisson Braisé was "one of the top dishes in Northeast Portland" and also recommended the goat pepper soup and mafe.[10] The website's Waz Wu included Akadi in a 2023 list of "Portland’s Primo Special Occasion Restaurants for Vegans and Vegetarians".[11]
