Peppered Turkey
Turkey
Wings braised then fried, tossed through a pepper sauce that does not apologise for itself.

Asun

Smoked goat, scotch bonnet, onion, lime. The plate that empties before anything else reaches the table.

Never had Nigerian food?
Start here.
You don't need to know what egusi is to order well. Three questions and we'll build your first plate.
01
Pick your heat

02

Build my first plate
We'll do the rest

who grew up on it.
Chef Centia is from Ikorodu, Lagos. She cooks the way her mother cooks, with the technique she picked up feeding rooms of two hundred — bold, exact, and unwilling to soften a flavour to make it easier.
We fed Burna Boy and Tiwa Savage before we ever had a dining room. Birmingham is the first place you can just walk in.
