NOK by Alara is a contemporary African restaurant, embodying Reni Folawiyo’s vision to celebrate and elevate all aspects of African lifestyle. At NOK, we reinvent classic African dishes, adding innovative twists to familiar flavors. Nestled within a lush bamboo-framed garden, NOK offers an intimate dining space adorned with contemporary art and design from across the continent. With Senegalese New York-based chef Pierre Thiam as the executive chef, NOK aims to provide a unique dining experience that celebrates the distinctive flavors from all over Africa.

In a laid-back outdoor environment, we showcase grilled dishes from across Africa. From South Africa’s Braai Pie to Nigeria’s Suya, and featuring a bar adorned by Victor Ehikamenor’s artwork, The Garden is the ultimate celebration of African cuisine, beverages, and design.
