Africa, Nigeria registered her major presence in the tourist capital of the UAE recently with the opening of a 1st class Pan African restaurant/Lounge called KIZA. The brand name is an Angolan word which means community and from what we hear about the place since the doors were opened, it has become a convergence point sort of for all the lovers of everything African. Imagine, Pounded Yam & Egusi or Ayemase rice or even the world famous Jollof rice served with assorted meat (orisirisi) being served in a fantastic environment, or just try to imagine you eating first class African delicacies from the West of Africa (Ghana, Sierra Leone, Senegal etc) in 5-Star ambiance, then you will be able to get what we are trying to describe.
The new place is said to be the brainchild of 4 friends- Lukman, Dele, Seun & Ridwan, who are said to be very well-known business personalities.
The idea behind the joint from what we learnt is to have a place where the growing African community in Dubai and those who come in to Dubai every once in a while can call their own, eat as if they are at home, drink and have fun amongst their own like they would have had back home, in the classiest of places you can dream about. Though the joint is opened to business now and doing exceptionally well, we hear top people like Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, Dejare Adegbenro, Obafemi Martins, Mustafa Chike-obi the AMCON Boss have visited and commended the place. The official opening is upcoming soon, we hear sometime in September, 2012 and we hear its going to be a big party, that would have a lot of who is who in Dubai in attendance, coupled with some other celebrities from Lagos, Nigeria, the UK and the US.
So if you are in Dubai anytime soon, you can check out the place and see for yourselves.
