Colourful, fragrant and gently spiced, our Fried Rice is a mild crowd-pleaser on the Village Pot menu. Long-grain rice is stir-fried with crisp mixed vegetables, sweet peppers, curry and gentle West African seasoning – no coconut milk, just clean, savoury flavour in every grain.
Nigerian-style fried rice is a West African celebration dish, and it is the plate we recommend most often to guests trying Nigerian food for the first time. Parboiled long-grain rice is tossed in a hot pan with a colourful mix of vegetables and gentle West African spices – no coconut milk – so every grain stays separate, fluffy and full of flavour.
The rice is stir-fried with carrots, sweet corn, peas, sweet peppers and green onion, then seasoned with curry and traditional spices. It is mild by design, so it works just as well for kids and spice-shy diners as it does alongside a fiery pepper soup.
Pair it with grilled chicken, beef, turkey, goat meat or fried croaker fish to complete the plate, and add sweet fried plantain if you want the full Nigerian party spread.
Find us at 180 King Street, a short walk from Portage & Main, the Canada Life Centre and the Exchange District. Order Fried Rice for pickup or delivery from our online ordering page, or build a bigger spread with White Rice + Chicken Melody from our full menu.

“Amazing Nigerian food in downtown Winnipeg. The jollof rice and stewed beef were full of flavour and tasted just like home. Generous portions and friendly staff make this a great spot for West African cuisine.”
