We had an absolute blast serving up your favorite authentic African dishes at the Dodo Festival! From our perfectly seasoned jollof rice and rich stews to tender meats and, of course, the star of the show—fried plantains—we loved bringing the true flavors of home straight to your plate. 🍲🔥
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by the Backyard stall, showed love, and supported us. Seeing your smiles with every bite makes everything we do worth it!

POV: You’re stranded on an island and you can only have ONE Nigerian soup for the rest of your life.

The stakes are high. Are you going for the luxury of Seafood Okro, the bold flavors of Efo Riro, the silky draw of Ogbono, or the soul-healing heat of Catfish Pepper Soup?

What’s your choice and why?
