"Buka is a casual Nigerian restaurant, and on weekends, people gather around the big central bar until 2am. Sometimes, there’s even live music. It’s a great place to come with a group and order a bunch of beer and food for the table, like suya skewers, red snapper, and a side of fufu. If you need to clear your sinuses, or just need a reason to buy more beer, order the goat pepper or fish pepper soup. You’ll get a whole tilapia in a hellfire habanero broth that’ll stare straight into your soul and ask you how it got here. " - neha talreja, nikko duren, bryan kim
