The jollof rice @elmina.dc is wonderful, possessing an incredible smokiness that infuses every delicious bite. Big enough to share, but you may just want the entire pot to yourself, even if you have leftovers 😍😘🥰

6) jollof duck pot – crispy jollof. tamarind glazed confit duck leg. duck breast. duck egg. shito. roasted tomato salad.

7) Bofrot – nutmeg chantilly. sticky toffee sauce. heath bar crunch.milo gelato.
