Buka Hut Yaba
Lagos, Nigeria
The read// why locals go
Buka Hut on Commercial Avenue feeds Yaba's students and office workers the standard Lagos midday plate, at student prices. A buka is the informal Nigerian eating house, and the format is unchanged here: jollof rice and fried chicken, moi moi, puff puff, served fast to people with an hour to spare. Around ₦800 covers it. Yaba is Lagos's university and tech district, so the room turns over constantly through the middle of the day, and the volume keeps the food fresh. This is the plainest, most direct version of how the city actually eats on a working day.
