"Though already a fan of Two Hommés, the standom officially kicked up a notch when the Inglewood restaurant received a fall makeover. Chefs Abdoulaye Balde and Yaw Marcus Johnson approached local designer and AfriCali cookbook author Kiano Moju to accomplish the task, turning the casual dining room into a relaxed, gorgeous space to consume the unique LA-West African menu. Though the deep-fried honey berbere chicken bites and root beer braised shortribs over whipped yams are absolutely stellar, the jollof rice is something to behold. LA’s Nigerian options are a bit limited, so finding jollof feels akin to finding the holy grail. The flavors are bold, the toppings vary from shrimp to lamb, and it is such a labor-intensive dish that I appreciated every bite while downing one of the restaurant’s margaritas. And you can enjoy it all in a bright, festive room that is in one of the most compelling corridors in LA. — Mona Holmes, editor" - Eater Staff
