Description

Beyond the jollof, the menu features efo riro, which can be ordered meat-free alongside plantains. The egusi strikes a balanced consistency—neither too liquid nor too thick—though diners report mixed results regarding meat tenderness and the oiliness of the soups. The fufu itself is made from pounded yam.
