I'd consider myself a very adventurous eater with an insatiable desire for expanding my palate. Hence, when one of my favourite people was craving Nigerian food, a new experience was imminent!
We headed to new west african eats on Queen Street West, and what a memorable meal!
2 Bottles of Palm Wine ($15 each), Party Jollof ($25) and Efo Riro Greens ($21) was all it took to make me a FAN!
The palm wine was refreshing, nutty and had the slightest sweetness, making it perfect for our meal on the patio in peak Toronto heat. The natural effervescence was also very welcome.
Having heard, studied and seen Party Jollof be prepared through food media in recent years, I was beyond excited to finally try it. At the Naija Spice level, the rice was tomato forward, beautifully smokey and excellently seasoned and spiced.
The Peppered Chicken served atop the rice was expertly cooked and also marinated and spiced to perfection. As a heat fanatic, this totally hit the spot. Balanced with a fresh tribe slaw and fried plantains, truly an excellent meal.
I also have to say, the plantains were the perfect thickness, sweetness and fried to perfection.
Overall, expect warm and hospitable service and food prepared with intention, finesse and a lot of soul.
Final Rating: 9/10 🔥👑
