The real thing.
No diluted version.

Party jollof rice with smoky crust, served in a clay pot with fried plantain
The One You KnowNigeria

Party Jollof

Heat

Parboiled long-grain rice, tomato base, whole scotch bonnets, smoked over firewood for that signature bottom crust. Not the stovetop kind.

Order TwoNorthern Nigeria

Suya Platter

Sunday FeelingWest Africa

Egusi Soup

Heat

Ground melon seeds fried in palm oil, bitter leaf, stockfish, and assorted meat. Served with pounded yam. The kind your mother made when you came home.

Catfish pepper soup in a steaming bowl with uziza leaves and chili peppers
Not for the FaintDelta State, Nigeria

Catfish Pepper Soup

Heat

Whole catfish in a broth of uziza leaves, utazi, uda seed, and scotch bonnet. Sweating is part of the experience.

"At Chop, the bowl gets passed before you've even sat down."

Catering

Feed the whole
office. Or the village.

Corporate lunches, cultural appreciation months, birthday spreads, office parties. We bring the full kitchen — not a catered tray of something that used to be jollof.

"We ordered Chop for our company's African Heritage Month lunch. 200 people, zero leftovers. The suya ran out in 8 minutes."

"My mother cried when she tasted the egusi. Said it reminded her of home. That's the only review you need."

"Booked Chop for our Juneteenth celebration. The pepper soup alone had people requesting the recipe. We don't share recipes."
