Amala Skye — Yoruba Traditional, Ibadan
Amala Skye is the undisputed champion when it comes to authentic, delicious, and budget-friendly Amala, with the restaurant always bustling with food lovers. The amala — the dark brown yam flour dough that is Ibadan’s most celebrated traditional dish — at Amala Skye is prepared with the precision of a kitchen that has been developing this specific preparation for years.
The amala at Amala Skye is served with the traditional accompaniments: the ewedu (jute leaf soup) and the gbegiri (bean soup) that together with the amala constitute Ibadan’s most celebrated culinary combination — the abula trio that is as specific to this city as sushi is to Tokyo.
The drinks programme is practical: the cold beers, fresh juices, and the practical beverages that the bustling, always-full community restaurant provides.
Amala Skye is the Ibadan restaurant that most directly expresses what the city’s culinary identity means: the amala, the ewedu, the gbegiri, always bustling, and the undisputed champion of the dish that makes Ibadan recognisable across Nigeria.
