View on menuUkoni is Igbo for kitchen
The name is straightforward. This is a working kitchen that happens to have tables. Fish comes in whole. Pepper is measured by hand. The menu reads like a Delta family feast because that is what we are serving.
No fusion. No deconstruction. Just the food people in Asaba actually want to eat.
The room
Plenty of light, plenty of space, and the smell of charcoal coming from the back.
