Ayamase and Stew

Experience the bold, distinctive flavors of Ayamase — one of Nigeria’s most celebrated and iconic stews. Also known as Ofada Stew or Designer Stew, this dish is a rich, smoky green pepper sauce with deep cultural roots in Yoruba cuisine.

Our Ayamase is crafted the traditional way, starting with a carefully blended mix of unripe green peppers, tatashe, and scotch bonnet, slow-cooked in bleached palm oil until it develops its signature dark, smoky depth. Loaded with an assortment of proteins, including ponmo, assorted meat, and boiled eggs — every spoonful is packed with texture, heat, and flavor.

Hearty, rustic, and unforgettable, our Ayamase is best enjoyed with Ofada rice or plain white rice, letting the bold stew take center stage. It is a dish that speaks to the soul of Nigerian home cooking,  unapologetically rich, deeply seasoned, and made with pride.

Served with your choice of rice and a generous portion of assorted proteins.
