Eko Kitchen

"The only Nigerian restaurant in San Francisco has since closed and pivoted entirely to catering and cooking classes. For Thanksgiving, you can get your hands on trays of their jollof rice, grilled turkey wings, puff puffs, and more. Pre-order online - pick-up is on November 24th." - julia chen 1

"San Francisco’s only Nigerian restaurant offers an a la carte menu of dishes like chicken suya and smoked goat meat for delivery (through Uber Eats) Thursday through Sunday, as well as complete meals that can be preordered for pickup on Sundays. It’s also selling mix-and-match meal prep kits for customers who want to stock up on jollof rice, efo riro (a spinach stew), and other dishes they can reheat over the course of the week." - Luke Tsai

"Eko Kitchen will showcase chef Simileoluwa Adebajo’s Nigerian cuisine." - Dianne de Guzman

"Fans may remember that San Francisco’s only Nigerian restaurant, Eko Kitchen, secured a commissary kitchen space in 2019, only to have it burn down during a five-alarm fire not long after. Well, fear not, chef Simileoluwa Adebajo is still around, cooking out of the kitchen at Merkado, and on February 18 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. the restaurant will host an Afrocentric party and pop-up dinner called “Homecoming: A Celebration of All People of African Descent.” Expect Eko favorites including jollof rice with grilled peppered chicken and sweet fried plantains." - Lauren Saria

"San Francisco’s first-ever Nigerian restaurant Eko Kitchen is opening a satellite location in Los Angeles via takeout and delivery. Founder Simileoluwa “Simi” Adebajo, who started Eko Kitchen in 2019, creates a Lagos-inspired atmosphere with Afrobeats music and colorful decor. Menu items include asun (smoked goat meat), obe ata dindin, chicken suya with jollof rice, and sweet puff-puffs." - Matthew Kang
