About this Dish

Venture into the heart of Igbo culinary artistry with our authentic Nigerian Bitterleaf Soup, locally known as "Ofe Onugbu." Revered for its distinctive taste profile, this traditional soup skillfully balances the naturally bitter flavor of the leaves with a rich and savory broth, offering an unparalleled gastronomic experience.

Our Bitterleaf Soup is a luxurious blend of cocoyam paste (often substituted with yam or achi), which provides the soup its signature thickness and velvety texture. Paired with an assortment of premium proteins such as stockfish, dried fish, and cow tripe, it brings forth a symphony of tastes and textures that captures Nigeria's rich culinary diversity.

The star ingredient, bitter leaf, is meticulously washed and processed to temper its bitterness, retaining just enough to provide that signature bite, making each spoonful a delightful play of complex flavors. Accentuated with native spices and ogiri (local seasoning), the soup emanates an aroma and taste that's deeply evocative of traditional Nigerian kitchens.
