Story summary

Edziban, a new Nigerian restaurant in Sydney, offers traditional dishes like fufu, egusi soup, beefi foroee, and jollof rice. Fufu is made from cassava, pounded into a stretchy texture that complements the complex flavors of the stews and grilled proteins. The egusi soup features lamb and crushed white melon seeds, while beefi foroee is a rich tomato-based stew with tender beef. Jollof rice, Nigeria's national dish, is also available. A must-try side is kelewele, deep-fried plantains in a spicy mix of cayenne pepper, ginger, and salt. The restaurant operates on a bring-your-own-drink policy but provides warmth and flavorful meals.
