Fufu, a soft dough-like staple, gets pinched off by hand and dipped into soup at this second-floor Nigerian dining room on Itaewon-ro 20-gil. Egusi is a thick stew of ground melon seed, greens and meat, while the okra soup is built on beef, stockfish and palm oil. A hand-washing station at the back of the room serves anyone eating the traditional way. Jollof rice covers those who would rather have rice, and fried plantain arrives golden outside and soft and sweet within. The owner, from Port Harcourt, opened the place around 2011, and Nigerian highlife plays over African decor. Reservations, takeaway and delivery are available, with no dedicated parking.
