Sakomi: The Togolese Street Food Winning the Hearts of Tourists in Ghana’s Volta Region

Sakomi, a flavorful street food born in Togo, is now winning the hearts of tourists who visit Ghana’s Volta Region. This simple yet satisfying dish is made by slicing soft bread open and layering it with cooked spaghetti, fresh greens like lettuce and cabbage, and a generous spread of mayonnaise or cream.

Popular in border towns like Aflao—where Ghana meets Togo—Sakomi has journeyed along the coast into places like Keta, a rising destination for beach lovers and cultural explorers. Its appeal lies in its bold flavors, quick preparation, and the way it captures the spirit of cross-border culinary fusion.

Served fresh and eaten like a sandwich, Sakomi is becoming a must-try for visitors seeking authentic local experiences. Whether enjoyed roadside or by the ocean, it’s more than just a snack—it’s a taste of regional connection.
