Why EJ Eatery in Ughelli Should Be Your Next East-West Road Stop
Good people of Naijaworld, I want to shine a light on quiet places that feed Nigerians one plate at a time. EJ Eatery in Ughelli, Delta State, is one of those gems you find off the East-West Road. I used to dread the four-hour mark on a Lagos–Port Harcourt trip. Bad roadside food was the norm. But when we pulled into EJ Eatery, everything changed. The aroma of palm oil and assorted meat hit first. I ordered Banga Rice with assorted meat and a fresh tiger nut juice. Both were perfectly prepared. Their menu is impressive: ten rice dishes, a full range of soups with your choice of swallows, continental bites, freshly baked pastries, and daily-made juices. They also deliver across Delta State and cater events. For those who know this route, what are your go-to food stops? And for Delta folks, where do you find the best Owho Soup and Banga Native Pot? Let’s share our hidden favorites.
