Restaurant · Cambridge
A small Nigerian kitchen in Cambridge that punches well above its price, with a proper English backyard garden for warmer days and a cosy, tidy room inside that families say feels welcoming rather than fussy. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the team greets everyone at the door and checks about allergies straight away — coeliac and vegan needs are taken seriously, with yam, beans, rice and plantain plates for smaller or meat-free appetites. The jollof rice is the thing to order, alongside grilled chicken, spicy goat or the goat in red stew, which comes tender enough to fall apart. Portions of the carbs are generous; meat can be on the modest side. Two honest snags: jollof sometimes sells out early, and service can slow right down when it's busy — not ideal mid-meltdown, so go early.
