Buka

"Proving that the best-tasting dishes aren’t necessarily the best-looking ones, the fish pepper soup blew me away when this essential Nigerian restaurant reopened in new digs. The soup ($15) — also available in a goat version — is known as one of the cuisine’s hottest, and the heat comes from a symphony of indigenous African spices. The flavor is mellow, warm, and pleasantly caustic all at once, and will leave you feeling very satisfied. "
