Nok by Alara
Nigeria
Nok by Alara brings contemporary pan-African cooking to Victoria Island in Lagos. It forms the culinary part of Reni Folawiyo's Alara concept, which connects African fashion, design, art and food. The restaurant reinterprets familiar dishes from across the continent, using established African flavours as the starting point for new preparations. That breadth gives the menu an identity beyond a single national cuisine. The dining room extends into a bamboo-framed garden, with furniture and contemporary art by African designers and artists. These details make the surroundings part of Alara's wider cultural idea, carrying the same interest in African creativity from the retail space to the table.
