Our Kitchen Philosophy

We bring Lagos flavors to San Antonio through wood‑grilled techniques, slow‑simmered stews and house‑made spice blends. Ingredients are chosen for freshness and authenticity—grilled suya, vibrant jollof and hearty egusi reflect time‑honored recipes adapted for our grill and lounge. If you have allergies or dietary needs, our team is happy to guide menu choices so every visit feels welcoming and safe.

Our Core Values​

Hospitality, celebration and authenticity guide everything we do. We treat guests like family—whether you stop by for weekday lunch, book a weekend grill night, or host a private event. We support local suppliers when possible, celebrate Afrobeat culture through food and music, and aim for service that’s warm, attentive and proudly Lagos‑inspired.
