Modern African cuisine inspired by all 54 countries on the continent, served à la carte in a fresh pop-up space in Vika. Chef Romeo Juty Johnny built the menu around dishes designed to be shared at the table — ideal if you want to sample a bit of everything together. The place is meant to feel like a social gathering spot, not just somewhere to eat.
Why it works
The sharing format naturally keeps conversation going over the food — nobody's just quietly working through their own plate. A refreshing pick if you've done the usual spots and want to discover something new together.
What to order
Ask staff to put together a small spread across different parts of the menu so you get a real taste of several African culinary traditions in one sitting.
Best time to go
Just opened — a weekday evening in the first few weeks should be calmer, or arrive early on a Saturday.
What it costs
Price level not yet confirmed (newly opened) — expect mid-to-higher range for à la carte sharing plates.
