What is the Raffia Palm Abuja?
The Raffia Palm Abuja is a joint where you can go to get a totally African village experience while you enjoy some rich Nigerian dishes, along with great-tasting palm wine.

The spot has a very wonderful local and cultural decor that produces the feeling of being in a traditional setting. The art works that are thrown in as well also elevate this vibe.
When you walk into the place, you are greeted by some beautiful and funny African quotes on the wall. For instance, one of them is “A man who hangs around a beautiful girl without saying a word ends up fetching water for guests at her wedding.” That made me laugh out loud. The decor of the place includes bamboos, and gourds hanging from the ceiling, and raffia palms. Of course, you don’t expect a place to have a name such as the Raffia Palm and not have anything in its decor that says something about that name.
In addition to all of that, you have local games to keep you entertained. Games such as ludo, Checkers which to me is just a fancy name. Draft all the way. There are card games and also a Yoruba game known as Ayo Olopon. And of course, you have live music to complete it all. If you want to enjoy an exclusive live music session, visiting the Raffia Palm on Thursdays and Fridays is a must.
