Inglewood, Los Angeles · restaurant
An Afro-centric restaurant where the jollof rice is the throughline. It runs under short rib, chicken maafe in peanut sauce, and lamb chops, all built around West African spices like berbere and yassa. Honey berbere chicken bites with citrus aioli are the go-to small plate for dinner; on Sunday brunch they land on a brown sugar waffle instead. The lamb + white bean hummus with flatbread holds its own alongside any of the mains.
