West African restaurant · Downtown

@eater

"Expanded from a food stall in Downtown’s Post Houston, this new standalone Montrose restaurant is a vibrant celebration of the African diaspora that you can see, feel, and taste. While taking in the intricate decor, diners can indulge in robust combinations of West African staples like Nigerian beef red stew served with rice, beans, and plantains, and perfectly charred suya, tender skewered beef served with a yaji peanut pepper spice. The cocktails, many of which are made with African spirits, are also something to behold. Try the Dodo Old Fashioned, a mix of spiced plantain blended with bourbon, palm sugar, and bitters that’s garnished with bruleed plantain, or the Chopman, a refreshing combination of gin, citrus, hibiscus grenadine, cucumber, mint, orange soda, and bitters." - Brittany Britto Garley
