We believe your return to Accra is a homecoming, and every homecoming deserves a proper welcome. During your Obaake Dining Experience, you will have the opportunity to take part in our Heritage Naming Ceremony.

Here is how it works:

  1. 01The Draw

    You will be presented with a traditional brass bowl filled with folded parchment sheets. Inside each sheet is a traditional Ghanaian local name and its meaning. You pick one at random.

  2. 02The Ceremony

    Whatever name you draw becomes yours for the night. Our staff and your table will lead a short, joyful toast and naming acknowledgement to officially welcome you.

  3. 03The Keepsake

    To seal the experience, you will be gifted a complimentary, custom-crafted bracelet inscribed with your newly chosen name to take home as a permanent reminder of your Detty December.
