A huge part of the menu consists of traditional pepper soups and Nigerian soups like goat meat, chicken and turkey pepper soup, as well as egusi and efo riro.
They also serve Nigerian breakfasts of boiled yam and spicy fried egg, an Ewa Agoyin Combo of beans, agoyin sauce, fish and agege bread, and their Saturday Knockout of custard or pap (fermented maize porridge) and akara (fried bean cake) or moi-moi (steamed bean pudding).
