Even if you’re the only person eating at this Nigerian spot in Peckham Palms, you’ll have a good time. But if you bring a couple of friends, you’ll have an even better one. Afrobeats and reggae blare from the speakers, the smell of spices and sizzling plantain fills the narrow room, and the friendly, laid-back servers walk through the bright, colourful space dishing out food recommendations and insisting you try the Naija Fanta. It’s like one big jollof-sponsored party inside, and you’ll find bowls of the deep orange must-order rice dish on every table, for good reason. Each bite is a harmony of spicy, smoky flavour. If you’re in the mood for swallow and stew, know that they only offer that on a Sunday.
