Where to Eat African Food in Chicago | Eater Chicago
"There is a small cluster of Nigerians concentrated on the Southeast Side of the city, and for many, this quaint little restaurant is like a home away from home. Southside is owned by Mariam and Ade Lala, whose goat meat pepper soup, golden fried chin chin pastries, and efo riro (spinach stew with seafood, palm oil, and red peppers), are said to wipe away any strains of homesickness. On warmer days, the Lalas are known to fire up the grill and throw a Nigerian-style cookout that’s complete with traditional beats." - Audarshia Townsend
