Yelpers food tasting at Buka Restaurant in 2011

If you’re still searching for Nigerian food near you or looking to order a takeaway that’d gladden your heart. ‘Food is ready!’ You’re invited, no matter where in this pot-bellied globe you live.

If — for whatever reason — you don’t find one close to your area, it’s far from what you think. I gave up on some listings with bad reviews. Ragged plastic chairs, table cloth and cotton in a poorly lit room that smells of spoilt fish are turnoffs. No ‘bad belle’ intended. Don’t take one.

You necessarily don’t have to cope with not having easy access to Nigerian food condiments when you travel abroad. These restaurants take credit for putting authentic delicacies in your plate.

The rich smack of a typical Nigerian menu gives the dishes its unique character, eating out in a Nigerian restaurant adds to the narrative. There may not be lots of vegetarian options in this list, yet, your needs are catered to. Filling meals like yam and egg, akara, asaro, and moi moi (without the fish or liver) are easily recommended. Their reliance on spicy peppers and savoury sauces mustn’t pass unnoticed. Just call in advance and ask about your special needs.

‘Whoever finds a motivation to try out Nigerian cuisines find a happy way to start the rest of their lives’. …Don’t go scurrying your famous quotes
