In-the-know diners come to this well-regarded ethnic diner for authentic African cuisine with Caribbean influences. African food is traditionally very spicy, but one can adjust the heat on pretty much every dish. Equisi soup, a slow-cooked Nigerian concoction featuring pounded yam and rich chunks of goat, is a winner. Likewise the thyme-infused oxtail soup, a hard-to-find delicacy made with onions, whole tomatoes, slivered red pepper, and enough oxtail to count as an entrée. First-timers might start out with the Love’s sampler platter, with juicy buffalo wings, nicely charred jerk chicken, and four pof-pofs, unsubtle Nigerian delicacies that are hush puppy-like balls of dough, crispy on the outside, dense, hot and sweet on the inside. Made from flour, sugar, butter, and nutmeg, they’re addicting.
