Nganda African Street Food

Suya

Skewered, groundnut-spiced grilled meat with a dry heat that builds slowly — the char gives it a smoky backbone that sets it apart from most downtown grill options

Jollof Rice

Tomato-base rice cooked down into a rich, smoky, deeply seasoned pot — the defining dish of West African cuisine and a reliable measure of a kitchen's skill

Puff Puff

Lightly sweet, airy fried dough balls with a pillowy interior and crisp exterior — the kind of snack that disappears from the table before the main arrives

Fried Plantains

Caramelized sweet plantains with a soft, yielding interior and golden edges — a necessary companion to any rice or stew dish on the menu
