On Point Food, Asaba

Ukoni

Igbo for kitchen. Nigerian favourites and Delta staples, served on Mariam Babangida Way.

The Kitchen

Ukoni is Igbo for kitchen.

The owner is in the kitchen, cooking the food they know from home. Soups take their time. Fish meets the grill. Swallows arrive ready for the pot beside them.

The menu stays close to Nigerian favourites and Delta staples, served in a room on Mariam Babangida Way.
