How we grill
From marinade to open fire, in three steps.
- 01
Marinated overnight
Chicken rests overnight in herbs and spices. Every protein that comes through the door is halal certified, and that never changes for a busy night.
- 02
Grilled when you order
Nothing waits under a heat lamp. Catfish and chicken go over open charcoal when your order lands, and the catfish is basted in barbecue glaze as it cooks.
- 03
Plated hot, in about 30
Sweet dodo, cool coleslaw, hand-cut chips and a pot of house sauce go on the side. Most orders are ready in about 30 minutes.
Delivery
Delivering round Ilorin, campus included.
Riders leave the grill in Tanke for Unilorin hostels, Oke-Odo lodges, GRA offices and homes across town. The fee depends on the distance, and you see it before you order.
