Comparing Ogbono Soup across three restaurants — an honest verdict

I ate Ogbono Soup at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of crayfish powder varied significantly — only one got it right. The complex and robust profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely.

Nigerian cuisine varies between the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic culinary traditions. The best version came from a roadside suya stall at night, which felt authentic. zobo hibiscus drink was offered at all three but only one knew how to serve it properly. The gap between mediocre and excellent Ogbono Soup is larger than you'd think.
