Nigerian restaurant on Camberwell Road in Camberwell.
secretlondon went here on a Saturday evening with four others. We didn't need to book.
We had palm wine (which was non alcoholic and interesting) (£3) and jugs of fruit juice (£3). Meals come with a choice of meat and fish which was hard for our vegetarians. There were no vegetarian mains and they had to get custom food. Pounded yam was great fun, and the 'soups' are more like stews. I ordered a snail which arrived after my main and was dry.
There was a projection screen on one wall showing congolese music in the wrong aspect ratio.
The bill for five including non-alcoholic drinks and one starter was £50. Recommended for the exoticness, although perhaps not for vegetarians.
Accessibility: Tight entrance to get in but no steps. Toilets down steps though.
Last visited in September 2008 by secretlondon, kake, [Friend_of_Tofu]? and 2 others.
