Honest verdict on Akara — good but not exceptional

Akara here was solidly made — spicy and bold without anything to complain about. palm oil was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Nigerian cuisine varies between the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic culinary traditions. The a family gathering atmosphere was pleasant enough. palm wine was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Akara this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
