N is for Nigeria

Another dinner with the dining group, this time at a Majestic, a Nigerian restaurant in Brixton.

Overall eating at this restaurant was quite a somewhat chaotic experience. 

None of us had any idea what Nigerian food was like so we didn't really know what we were ordering.   The waiter made sure that he took our names when he wrote down our orders so that he could just call the name out 'Starbuck's style' when he brought the food.

We were quite a large group and our orders ended up being taken in two turns, so that our food arrived at quite different times.  Fortunately, my meal was one of the first to arrive.  The name system hadn't made it out into the restaurant with the food so it was a bit of a free-for-all trying to figure out whose food was being brought out.

 We had this mysterious palm wine, which was actually non-alcoholic.

A Nollywood film kept us entertained in the two hour wait between arriving in the restaurant and the food arriving.

My meal. The sauce was super spicy!  I forgot to write down what it was though!

Our meal was accompanied by live music which was quite loud but entertaining.
