Polo Park Grill — Nigerian / International, Enugu
Polo Park Grill represents the new generation of Nigerian restaurant, Nigerian ingredients and flavours reframed in a contemporary context without losing the authenticity that makes them worth reframing. The location in Enugu's most modern mall provides a neutrality that appeals to diverse clientele.
The grill menu is the kitchen's strength: suya-spiced beef and chicken prepared over open coals, pepper soup made with goatfish imported from the south coast, and the signature 'Igbo platter', a our selection of ofe akwu, ofe onugbu, and peppered snail, that functions as a cultural introduction for first-time visitors.
The cocktail programme uses Nigerian ingredients with creative intelligence: zobo (hibiscus) gin cocktails, tiger nut milk with rum, and a tamarind margarita that has developed a following among the university crowd.
Weekend evenings at Polo Park Grill attract the full range of Enugu's social mix, university students, professionals, and the younger government class whose standards and preferences have been shaped by Lagos and Lagos-influenced Nigerian media.
