Make sure always called first - Edit
I called first but they didn’t pick up the phone, so I walked over turns out they didn’t open on the day, make sure you always call them first or they might not always open, I went in the embassy asked where they are, they said they didn’t open today, and they refer me another spot , I called that spot they don’t have vegan moi moi, so I didn’t go

Filling taste of Nigeria 🌍 🇳🇬 - Edit
This food truck is located right outside of the UN Nigerian embassy. It seems popular with the embassy workers, and it is easy to see why. The menu comes in two parts, each which fills an entire side of a placard in front of the truck. One-half of the menu is entirely vegan (see picture of placard).
Read moreI had a vegan chicken rice bowl with plantains. The portions were enough for two meals. It was very tasty, though a bit spicy for my tastes--next time, I will get the fu-fu in order to smooth out the spiciness.
Naturally, this is all for takeout. There are some parks nearby where you can sit and eat, and they wrap up the food well so you can take the meal home.

I wanted to try the moi moi, but they were out of moi-moi today--if they have it when you visit, tell us how you like it!

I had a Nigerian friend back in Taiwan , he never took me to try moimoi, he maybe thought I won’t be used to it, such a sweetheart , he took me to hotpot back in the day but I like to try different culture vegan meal :)

Do you know if they have a phone number can reach to ? So maybe I can call before heading to them for moimoi ?

They have a phone number on their website...do realize it is a truck, and thus might run out.

As I note in my review, half of their menu is vegan, the other half is not. If you look at the placard in my photo, you will see that all the food is vegan. If you were to look at the other side of the placard, however, you would see a lot of meat stuff.

First time - Edit
Food was flavorful and I would go back to try other items. The person working was very nice. He said they will have other vegan items starting in a month or so.
