Radio Kwara

If you live in Clinton Hill, we’ll bet you an order of pounded yam that you’ve walked by Radio Kwara on Greene Ave., and didn’t even notice. But the Nigerian food coming out of this tiny kitchen—goat meat pepper soup, charred octopus suya—is excellent. From the folks behind Dept. of Culture, a restaurant that offers a four-course tasting meal in a dinner party atmosphere, Radio Kwara is a more casual alternative, with an a la carte menu that caps out at $32. Come with a friend, bring a couple of bottles from the wine shop next door, and share the butter-soaked bread ati obe with marinated mushrooms. If Dept. of Culture is a special occasion restaurant, Radio Kwara is a weeknight spot makes even a Wednesday feel like a special occasion.
