I recently ordered for isiewu from this restaurant and my goodness! The portion was large, the meat was succulent with the perfect amount of spice. I really enjoyed it.

A cool relaxation spot. Used to be a place to rock in an African way. Nice pepper meat though with small stout can do.

If you've been away from Naija for a long time, Ariya will take you all the way back home. The food is awesome, has the right amount of peper and cooked Naija style. The ambience is nothing British, proper naija buka setting.
