Novelist Angela Flournoy’s Grub Street Diet

"A true clubstaurant energy that hits all my nostalgia buttons — Amapiano and Afrobeat blasting, hookah available tableside, women in bodycon and heels, and purple and Black décor that makes it feel like a night out. The food, billed as a tantalizing West-African fusion, delivered: jollof with fried fish, Red Stew with fish, a whole roasted branzino with plantain, and the surprise star, “Lagos Pasta” with grilled salmon that was basically a classic Rasta pasta. It felt like the people’s Tatiana, and I left giddy-tired the way you do post-club, even though it was only 11 p.m." - The Editors, Ryan Inzana
