Food for safaris

Turay Lamin, a 44-year-old businessman from Sierra Leone, recently set up Turay's Africa House, a restaurant and entertainment center.

The menu lists 69 dishes, divided into snacks, appetizers, soups, salads, main sauces, stews, side dishes, and whole dishes. Africans will be familiar with these offerings while the rest of the world may find dining here a novel experience.

For starters try tapalapa, mixed vegetable salad with carrot, lettuce and cucumber. African-style sauces include egusi sauce with melon seed, west African tomato stew and efo/sukimawiki, spinach sauce. You can choose to have spicy or mildly spicy sauces.
