AMALA IN A DANFO(BUS)?
I was on my way home one faithful day and I saw a signboard showing a new amala spot in Abuja! I was super excited as this particular spot comes with a twist! They sell Amala in a Danfo (BUS). Immediately, I changed direction and was on my way to Maitama to eat Amala in a Bus!
Only to get there and it was just a normal building with a drawing of a bus *tears*. I went in to find out what they sold and they had Amala and different soups, they also sell Ewa Agoyin (Beans) and Bread. Unfortunately, it’s a take out restaurant with no place to I got a plate of Amala with plenty orishirishi (meat) and I’ll give it a 5/10. It was not hot and it wasn’t giving what correct Amala should give. I don’t know why I did not buy the Ewa Agoyin and bread but I’m definitely going back to try it out and I’ll be back to tell you about it!
The Amala is from N200, Bread from N400, Ewa Aganyin( Beans) from N700 and Meat from N200.
Generally, I love the concept and I love how local food spots are available everywhere you go in Abuja!
Till next time. Bye guys!
Seeing that iconic yellow bus color brought back so many memories of home o! Out here in Minneapolis I have to settle for stirred boxed yam flour in my small kitchen, so the thought of sitting in a Danfo in Maitama dipping soft amala into ewedu makes me so homesick.
Chale, converting a whole yellow danfo bus into a restaurant seating area in Maitama of all places is proper creative oo. Is the space inside wide enough to roll your amala properly without hitting the next person's elbow?
maitama people love novelty abeg. I just hope the amala is smooth and hot, not that lumpy type people sell when they focus too much on aesthetic. Did you check if their food is fully halal certified before ordering?
Had to Google what a Danfo bus actually looks like and those bright yellow vans are brilliant! Is Amala usually eaten on the go over there or is sitting inside the repurposed bus part of the whole attraction?
eating dark amala inside a metal bus under that Abuja sun sounds like pure sweat unless they fitted heavy AC inside it sha. Did you try their gbegiri and ewedu or they only had goat meat stew?
