Nigerian Soups in Ajah: Egusi, Afang, Oha and More at De Dem's

Soup is often the real test of a Nigerian restaurant. Rice can carry lunch, but egusi, afang, oha, ogbono, nsala, okro, banga, and bitter leaf are what many guests want when they are looking for a proper home-style meal in Ajah.

De Dem's Restaurant serves Nigerian soups from KM 25 Lekki-Epe Expressway, close to Abraham Adesanya Roundabout. Guests can visit, browse the menu, or confirm today's soup availability by phone or WhatsApp before ordering.

Start with egusi or afang

Egusi is a strong first choice when you want a rich, filling soup with swallow. Afang is another dependable option for guests who want a vegetable-forward Nigerian soup with depth. Both work well for dine-in meals, takeaway, and family orders where people want something more comforting than a quick snack.

Choose oha, ogbono, nsala, okro, or banga

The menu also gives guests room to order by preference. Oha and bitter leaf bring a familiar eastern Nigerian feel. Ogbono and okro are useful when someone wants draw soup. Nsala, banga, and seafood okro help round out the soup menu for guests who want a different texture, spice profile, or seafood-led plate.

Match the soup with the right swallow

A good soup order depends on the swallow beside it. De Dem's lists eba, fufu, semo, wheat, and poundo, so guests can choose the pairing they already like instead of forcing one option for everyone. For larger orders, confirm the preferred swallow counts before pickup or delivery coordination.

Add rice, grills, pastries, and drinks for groups

Soup does not have to carry the whole order by itself. For office lunch, weekend family meals, or visitors coming from Lekki, Sangotedo, and nearby Ajah estates, combine soup and swallow with jollof rice, fried rice, grilled fish, chicken, turkey, pastries, zobo, fresh juice, soft drinks, or water.
