Underwhelming Jollof Rice — expected more
I was looking forward to Jollof Rice here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The spicy and bold character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with locust beans dawadawa or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.
suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. The a family gathering setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Chapman cocktail was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
