About Akara House

Akara House in Crown Heights is a hidden gem that offers delicious Nigerian cuisine with a focus on affordable, vegan, and vegetarian options. The warm reception and friendly service make it a favorite spot for takeout. The spinach wrap is a must-try vegetarian option, and the honey bean fritters are also a delicious choice. The owner's passion for authentic Nigerian flavors shines through in the fresh and well-made dishes. The complex spices add a great mouthfeel to the incredible food, including the thick burger made from Nigerian beans. Visitors can enjoy hearty portions and rich flavors, with the oyster wrap being especially popular for its filling and tasty house-made hot sauce. The lemonade tea is also highly recommended for its refreshing and unique taste, which is sweet with a hint of saltiness. Although seating is limited, outdoor seating, two benches, and a small bar with chairs are available for dining in. The restaurant can be a bit slow, so ordering ahead online is advised for pick-up. This place is perfect for anyone, even non-vegetarians, looking to explore new and delicious flavors, making it a great spot for families and friends.
