Holiday memory — Akara that transported me back

I first ate Akara on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the spicy and bold quality I remembered. ogiri fermented seeds was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Nigerian cuisine varies between the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic culinary traditions. It was the a Nigerian restaurant abroad memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. palm wine was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
