Dark, smooth swallow made from yam flour, served with a rich soup of your choice — Egusi, Okra, or Edikang Ikong — and your preferred meat. A comfort food staple from southwestern Nigeria, made fresh daily at Akin's African Restaurant, Sargent Ave, Winnipeg.
Amala is one of the most iconic swallow dishes in Yoruba (southwestern Nigerian) cuisine. Made from dried yam flour, it has a distinctive dark colour and smooth, earthy flavour that pairs beautifully with bold, richly seasoned soups. At Akin's, we serve Amala with your choice of soups — whether that's the nutty depth of Egusi, the silky comfort of Okra, the nutritious richness of Edikang Ikong, or another house favourite.
For the African diaspora in Winnipeg, a bowl of Amala at Akin's is a taste of home. For first-timers, it's a revelatory experience that showcases the depth and warmth of West African cuisine at its finest.
