"From the outside, Tailat Kitchen looks like a nondescript building on a pretty quiet corner in Windsor Park. And from the inside, it’s just as bare-bones—a couple of plants sit on a tiny bookshelf, and a blue plastic curtain separates the kitchen from the industrial dining room. None of that matters. You’re not here for a cute space to take selfies in. You’re here for some of Austin’s best Nigerian food. The menu isn’t massive, but it covers a lot of the Nigerian classics—jollof rice, egusi, ogbono, efo rice, pepper soup, and fried Indomie noodles. Start with some jollof rice and chicken and order a hot bowl of goat meat pepper soup to go with it. Just make sure to add in a bottle of Vita Malt to help tame the flames that will leap off your tongue after the first few sips. Food Rundown photo credit: Nicolai McCrary Jollof Rice This is smoky, savory, and a little sweet from the tomatoes and peppers. We like it with chicken—the tender meat and slightly firm rice make a great pair. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary Pepper Soup Tailat’s pepper soup is the best we’ve tried in town. It’s very spicy, but with an incredibly rich flavor and subtle sweetness from all the chili peppers that go into it. Get it with goat—the meat is tender, but still has a little bit of chew." - Nicolai McCrary
