The Flygerians - Review - Peckham - London - The Infatuation

"Even if you’re the only person eating at this Nigerian spot in Peckham Palms, you’ll have a good time. But if you bring a couple of friends, you’ll have an even better one. Afrobeats and reggae blare from the speakers, the smell of spices and sizzling plantain fills the narrow room, and the friendly, laid-back servers walk through the bright, colourful space dishing out food recommendations and insisting you try the Naija Fanta. It’s like one big jollof-sponsored party inside, and you’ll find bowls of the deep orange must-order rice dish on every table, for good reason. Each bite is a harmony of spicy, smoky flavour. If you’re in the mood for swallow and stew, know that they only offer that on a Sunday. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch video credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Sweet Agege Bread The thick, toasted slices of agege bread pair excellently with the savoury garlic butter. It’s the perfect starter to share with a group. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Jollof Box Each bite of this spicy, red rice is flavourful. It’s topped with glistening sweet plantain and hot sauce, and even without any additional meat or stew we love it. But the peppery beef suya chunks elevate it even more. Warning, spice level: high. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak
