I am one to enjoy new cuisines, so to my delight One Stop Afrik was set up at the Lemoyne Art Festival in downtown Tallahassee last weekend. As a friend and I wandered around visiting all the vendors, I was drawn in by the delicious scent of chicken and turkey cooking in an array of spices and sauce. I was greeted by two very kind women from Nigeria. They had an appetizing menu, including curry chicken, stewed chicken, turkey, jollof, fried white rice, black eyed peas and plantains.
I sampled the stewed chicken and found it to be very flavorful and moist. I also sampled the jollof, which is one of the native rice dishes. I ordered a plate of the stewed chicken, which you receive two chicken quarters, and a nice heaping side of your choice, which I chose the jollof. The serving of jollof was a little oily for what I am used to eating, but overall the dish was very pleasing. For dessert, I ordered plantains which were fried up fresh and to your liking. No complaints there. :)
Overall, I was very satisfied with One Stop Afrik and am looking forward to visiting them again in the near future. read more
