Nkoyo

Restaurant from the chef of Yellow Chilli — pan-Nigerian cooking with finesse

Address 280 Etim Inyang Crescent, Victoria Island

The chef Maria Folake Kuti's follow-up to her Yellow Chilli flagship, Nkoyo opened in 2014 in a converted Victoria Island townhouse. The menu is pan-Nigerian — egusi, ofada, jollof, suya — but rendered with restaurant finesse and presented for eating with a fork and knife rather than the hand. The bar makes a good chapman; the wine list is short and useful. Reservations recommended at weekends.
