"An immersive, communal tasting experience that staged an eight-course menu themed around different Nigerian festivals (one example being Agemo), with meticulously composed plates such as battered yam presented inside an empty snail shell with black fermented locust beans shaped like fish roe, and fried mackerel topped with spicy peppers.
