Nok

This African Cuisine restaurant is located in the beautiful Alara building. The restaurant features a beautiful African styled interior and a great outdoor sitting area where you can enjoy the grill menu. The menu features various African cuisines and plays with classics, and interprets them in new ways. We recommend their blackened catfish with fried plantain or their seafood okra stew with red pounded yam.
