Jevinik
A well-known home-style Nigerian restaurant in Wuse II, serving traditional soups with pounded yam, with generous portions at reasonable prices.
Located at 494 Bangui Street in Wuse II, next to the Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Jevinik is named by local guides as one of the best local Nigerian restaurants in the city. The menu leans toward southeastern flavors, with a focus on traditional soups such as egusi, okra and vegetable soup, served with genuine hand-pounded yam or fufu. Jollof rice, goat, fish and beef are also available. The dining hall feels like an open canteen, and there is a VIP area upstairs. The lunch rush brings queues and parking is difficult, and popular dishes may sell out in the evening.
Opening hours
