Our Story
Born from a Love of Nigerian Cuisine
Savora was founded in 2019 by Chef Emeka Okafor with one vision: to present Nigerian cuisine in all its depth, warmth, and sophistication — without apology.
What started as a small supper club in Lekki has grown into one of Lagos' most celebrated dining destinations, with a sister location opening in London's Shoreditch in 2022.
Every dish on our menu is a love letter to Nigerian ingredients, technique, and tradition — reimagined for the modern table.
