Description

With a name a nod to fufu, the starchy staple of Africa, owner and chef Esther Mbaikambey serves up flavorful Caribbean and African fare at this clean and comfortable west side eatery featuring a small and affordable menu of international tastes. Caribbean dishes such as jerk barbecue chicken are rewarding, but it’s Mbaikambey’s African fare – eugusi and pounded yam, yassa chicken, and Nigerian doughnuts called pof-pofs – that offer diners a unique experience into the exotic flavors of her homeland.

  • 2012 | Best Doughnuts

    Ever had a Nigerian doughnut? Neither had we until we popped into this comfortable west-side restaurant of African eats headed up by Nigerian-born chef Esther Mbaikambey. Called pof-pofs, these fun-to-say fried treats are the size of baseballs with a lightly sweet taste like a dense doughnut hole. Made to order and using simple ingredients -- flour, sugar, butter, and nutmeg -- Mbaikambey deep fries them into sizeable, delicious dumplings of goodness. Seriously addictive, pof-pofs... More »
