Owner Nky Iweka took us through an interesting range of well curated Nigerian 'tasties' on the menu. She also explained why she doesn't use stock cubes in her cooking.

      Dalu so!!
      Slight correction. My great grandfather was Igwe Iweka 1 of Obosi. He also constructed the famous Iweka Road. My uncle is the current Igwe of Obosi.
      Thank you so much for the love x

    Fantastic job Abass... great show, great concept, great Nky... so full of naija aunty personality! I was in Kensington (from the U.S.) a couple of winters ... who knew! I'm from Niger Delta and eager for exploration of our seafood cuisine... a rather unique subset of the Nigerian food spectrum. For having one of the most sophisticated cuisine in the world, we have been very much asleep at the wheel in terms of food establishments, but that is changing. In NYC you have Tatiana and Dept of Culture both of which have tongues wagging.

    I found this very interesting. I had never heard of Pitanga Restaurant. Hopefully, I visit one day I commute to Central London. Lovely lady too. I am so glad the lady places emphasis on presentation. When you watch Master Chef etc - It is the presentation (and the taste of course) that sells. Thanks for the post.

    Fantastic! I'm coming to chop there. I'm from South of London where there is a dominance of Nigerians. As such I am a critic and very critical about Nigerian foods and the restaurants so to speak with many, therefore as you have won me over with this video you will only win me over completely once I have tasted your food and experienced it's atmosphere and to quite the French it's ambiance (enbuance) I greet you well.❤🎉

      Try Kalabari Onunu and you will begin to understand. The dishes from Southern Kaduna made with the wide range of grains are another range not to be missed. Wakkis dey Naija!!!
