The restaurant offers a modern take on West African cuisine, blending Yoruba heat, Igbo spice, and Hausa fire-cooking. The tasting menu showcases unique dishes like Abàchà and Ṃóínṃóín, with a focus on texture and flavor. The wine list complements the spicy dishes, and the pepper soup and main courses like monkfish and hogget are highlights. Dessert features egúsí ice cream and meringue sponge.
