1. Jollof Rice
Arguably the crown jewel of West African cuisine, Jollof Rice is a must-have at any Nigerian celebration. Cooked in a rich tomato and pepper sauce with just the right blend of spices, our version is smoky, savoury, and perfectly balanced. Often paired with fried plantains or grilled chicken, it’s a dish everyone loves.
2. Ayamase (Ofada Stew) with Ofada Rice
Also known as Green Pepper Sauce, Ayamase is made with a blend of green bell peppers, Scotch bonnets, onions, and palm oil, cooked with assorted meats. Served with traditional Ofada rice, it delivers a spicy, earthy punch and is a favourite among lovers of bold, local flavour.
3. Efo Riro (Vegetable Soup)
This rich Yoruba-style spinach stew is packed with flavour. Made with blended peppers, tomatoes, onions, palm oil, and assorted meats or fish, Efo Riro is a delicious and hearty choice for any event. It’s often served with pounded yam, amala, or rice.
4. Assorted Meat Pepper Soup
Spicy, fragrant, and warming, our Assorted Meat Pepper Soup is made with a medley of meats, local spices, and herbs. It’s perfect as a starter at events and always gets guests talking with its comforting heat and depth of flavour.
5. Fried Plantain (Dodo)
No Nigerian event is complete without Dodo. Sweet, golden, and crispy on the edges, fried ripe plantains complement almost every dish. Whether served as a side or a snack, it’s a crowd-pleaser for both kids and adults.
6. Ewa Agoyin with Sauce
A classic street food that’s gone gourmet, Ewa Agoyin is soft-cooked beans served with a deeply caramelized pepper sauce. It’s simple yet sensational — especially when served with fried plantain or bread rolls for dipping.
7. Asun (Spicy Grilled Goat Meat)
Asun is spicy, smoky, and addictive. Tender goat meat is grilled and tossed in a fiery pepper mix that keeps guests coming back for more. It’s a perfect small-plate or party platter addition.
8. Moi Moi (Steamed Bean Pudding)
Made from blended beans, peppers, and spices, Moi Moi is steamed to perfection and often garnished with eggs, fish, or corned beef. It’s soft, savoury, and pairs well with Jollof Rice or fried rice.
9. Nigerian Salad
A colourful mix of cabbage, carrots, green peas, sweetcorn, baked beans, and sometimes eggs and potatoes — all dressed in mayonnaise. Our Nigerian Salad is refreshing, creamy, and adds a cool balance to spicy mains.
10. Chicken Pepper Soup
Light, spicy, and aromatic, Chicken Pepper Soup is a beloved traditional starter. It’s made with tender chicken pieces and infused with a blend of native spices that not only satisfy the palate but also comfort the soul.
