OKA (called amala by ajebos) is serious business, very serious matter, i must add. i am a big fan of it and tell you what, when i can help it, i am ready to gorge myself into it everyday.

but the problem is it not everybody that can prepare it very well. so, you often see men journey to far distance to where they know they can get the right stuff.

so please, if you know one damn good place they make correct Amala and Gbegiri where you live, share the address with us.

so here we go, i start with offa, Kwara State

during my service year at Offa Grammar School, there was this Amala joint right opposite General Hospital, the was place the bomb.

you get to eat searing hot Amala, Gbegiri and Goat meat, as early as 7 in the morning.

LAGOS

at Shita, there is this mama Oyo that sells very nice amala too

ILORIN
at oja oba, right inside the garage, there is this place one mama makes amala and gbegiri and also Tuwo. hers come with eja gbigbe(dried fish) and wara(caked cheese). ol boy, the place na die.

There are amala and there are Amala . I think the best Amala is the one from GREEN PLANTAIN. so darkish, aroma_ish and yummy. i started learning to like and tried it recently .

Akin Alabi

Been there, hot, mild and classic.

I never saw what amala looks like until my service year. I don't think i'll put that thing in my mouth cos the color scares me allot.
Nkemify.

Oh Amala tastes well
esp. when my mama cooks it
pretty hot with egusi soup, with lots of pepper
Tastes great

@ Nkemify

You're not incorrect! I prefer those ones! . Black and shiny

There used to be one serious joint, just inside Hilton drive off Allen Avenue, doubt if they still there. Amala with Eja-kika, ponmo, orishirishi, Egusi drenched in very red palm-oil 

Also that buka across from Agbowo shopping complex outside U .I. , world class. Then my favourite, inside the A.P junction, Akarabata in Ife. very serious gbegiri with bokoto, cowtail, etc.

Ibadan people are the specialists however, plenty of joints at Iwo-Road, Challenge, Beere etc.

if i was told i wud be commending this meal i wudnt have believed it i actually had it wen i served in Oyo state at first i hated the meal especially the Amala of a thing though i have heard abt the name but never seen it.But ha sfate wud have it i tasted it and that was wen a bond began i cudnt stay a day without eating it such that wen i travel to lagos and i return back to Oyo the first place i go after i drop my bag is IYA AMALA becos thats wat we call her i swear to God that meal is off the hook how i wish i knew good place to eat it in Lagos though i stay just after ketu but i never see decent place to eat it

there's a place in Alausa, just off Awolowo way. dont know the exact address though

The amala joint for Agbowo na the last bus stop. As early as 6 am i don dey wait for that woman to open. As soon as she see me she go shout OMO Ibo how now with her month wide open. Another one dey for Dugbe bus garage. For lagos try mama kerewa for mazamaza.

@Presido 1,
guy abeg where the mama kerewa dey for mazamaza, i dey stay festac make i fit visit there. belgium don lose touch.

But i miss my days at UNILAG when we I use to spend all my allowance on White House.

I enjoyed Amala and abula(gbegiri & ewedu) very well,check it out @ Mama No 1 @ LAUTECH,Iya Shuaib Canteen Orita Naira Ogbomoso,Iya Mutiu @ Carlifornia Area Ogbomoso

Also beside T&E @ Oregun in Ikeja, it's delicious

Amala Joint @ Bourdillon Rd in Ikoyi is also not left out.

Yeap i don choplet for that ikoyi joint before, the woman dey try with tick goat mea (egufe).

Jeez!See as amala fans just dey mention joints. I eat amala once in a while and when i wan consume,na with 100% concentration.I gbadun my amala with ewedu alone.(yes,i don't like taking it with stew). While,i was in Nigeria,i no eat for all those joints so i can't mention any.For those that don't like amala,una dey miss,

na wa o.Na ffo full here

Finally a sensible thread.
Amala with Gbegiri and Ewedu is one of  those rare delicasies that make life worth living. I can comfortably eat 10 raps of this meal - no shaking. If u havnt tried it before u must be nuts.

ladies if u are tryin to win over any yoruba dude this meal will definately do the trick![b][/b]

Men while i was serving in Ibadan there was this place in the secretariat, every morning i was there. So tey i dey collect free food twice a week. No joke o!!!  Abula was the bomb then they added the goat meat to it (ogufe) kai men i miss service. Morning and afternoon u go see me there.

Very very funny thread!!!

C humans describing food chai! _{foodia adedodo(s)}

The best amala I ever ate was the one prepared by a room in Federal Poly Ado-Ekiti, in Ekiti State. The guy prepared it like a professional! I could eat it without soup! Really hot, black and shinning! All these with freshly made ewedu soup.

If you want to eat correct amala and gbegiri for the rest of your life, make sure you marry someone from my hometown, Ogbomosho. We sure know how to throw it down.

Learnt how to make amala from my grand-aunt. I just love the shining, black color with no koko o. Definitely having me some amala and efo riro with dried fish tomorrow after church.

This is a fantastic thread. I ate one at Iwo road Garage last may while i was in nigeria, i like the thing no be small, hot and delicious with goat meat and tick ponmo, though i had wanted to check some other places too but my host doesnt know anywhere, now that i have some address, am going to check it out when i come home this month end

you could check out iya basira's joint or olulwalogbon food canteen @ fagba, dem sabi do am well well, ja ra yin,

may God bless that woman that hawks amala in my area, she knws she has to knock on the gate so i can buy, gbegiri, ewwww, i dont like it,

lafun omgg i prefer it to black amala
