From the outside, Tailat Kitchen looks like a nondescript building on a pretty quiet corner in Windsor Park. And from the inside, it’s just as bare-bones—a couple of plants sit on a tiny bookshelf, and a blue plastic curtain separates the kitchen from the industrial dining room. None of that matters. You’re not here for a cute space to take selfies in. You’re here for some of Austin’s best Nigerian food. The menu isn’t massive, but it covers a lot of the Nigerian classics—jollof rice, egusi, ogbono, efo rice, pepper soup, and fried Indomie noodles. Start with some jollof rice and chicken and order a hot bowl of goat meat pepper soup to go with it. Just make sure to add in a bottle of Vita Malt to help tame the flames that will leap off your tongue after the first few sips.
