Description

This friendly and comfortable refuge directly beneath the 3 tracks is evidence of Brownsville's burgeoning Nigerian community. Though the "sports bar" part is really just wishful thinking, the food is superb-satisfying combos of mash + soup + meat, best eaten with your fingers. On a recent Saturday, the fufus included white yam and the coarser, more flavorful cassava. Either goes well with egusi (melon seed) soup or okra soup. You can also toss in a piece of fish or meat. We'd recommend mutton, which comes in big challenging chunks. The jolly gals who cook are enough reason to go back again and again.
