Bukka Hut presents its diners with an upgrade on the typical bukka. Its locations are nicely designed, its interiors have a modern, comfortable look and feel, and its meals are just as good as any local restaurant can achieve. The goal of the entire package is clear: delivering Nigerian culinary delights through excellent spaces and over multiple convenient channels. Founded in 2011, Bukka Hut began as a single restaurant in Lagos serving people who were hungry for good food. In the ten years that have followed, it has opened in several other locations across the city. The team at Bukka Hut says they try to maintain a consistent experience at every one of their dozen or so spots. Visitors to its outlets have a broad menu to select from. The main dishes include the regular ‘swallow’ foods—amala, eba, wheat, and semo –and such soups as afang, egusi, bitter leaf, Banga, okro, edikaikong, ewedu, oha, and others. These may be served with an assortment of meats, including various beef, chicken, and fish preparations. Multiple rice dishes are on the menu as well. Jollof rice, ofada rice, fried rice, coconut rice, and Banga rice are all available, as are Village Rice, Jambalaya Rice, and rice and beans. These may be complemented with anyone of the sauces and stews that the Hut cooks.

There are options for diners who would like some meat with the food they order. They could go for snails, peppered chicken, grilled chicken, turkey, fried croaker or Titus, fresh catfish, smoked catfish, beef, and ponmo. Other dishes available from Bukka Hut are yam porridge, plain beans (ewa riro), plantain porridge, pounded yam, spaghetti Jollof, and catfish pepper soup. They serve breakfast too: pap, Akara and bread, custard, tea, and coffee are on the menu. All of these dishes can also be ordered on the Bukka Hut website, or over the phone (each one of Bukka Hut’s locations has a dedicated phone line). Orders may also be placed on Whatsapp. Deliveries are made from an outlet closest to the customer. At its spot in Lekki, Bukka Hut has a ‘Family Lounge’ which hosts events ranging from corporate meetings, seminars, to birthdays, promotion parties, and send-forth parties. There’s also the BH Lounge, present in three different locations, which provides nightlife features such as weekly events hosted by entertainers, enjoyed over grilled foods and drinks. The quality of Bukka Hut’s meals and service has made it one of the better-known restaurant chains in Lagos within its first ten years. It could become an even stronger brand in the next decade if it strengthens on its current pace of growth. Featured Image Source: Buka Hut
