Breakfast

DADI — a Hausa word that means to enjoy, to savour, to taste the sweetness. It is pleasure at the table, and it is the name we give to a residency built for the epicurious: the curious eater, the adventurous palate, the seeker of a good story told through food.

DADI is an open kitchen residency that invites chefs and catering professionals to take over the Fantasy Ikoyi house for two weeks to one month and transform it into a living, breathing pop-up restaurant. Each residency follows a singular food & drink theme — Nigerian cuisine in conversation with the world — and runs commercially for both walk-in guests and delivery.

For Food Professionals

DADI is a stage with no script. Selected chefs are granted full creative freedom — to shape not only the menu, but the entire experience around their food: the room, the lighting, the music, the pacing, the atmosphere. Your vision. Your table. Your residency. We provide the house; you bring it to life.

For Food Lovers

DADI is an invitation to taste something rare. Every residency is a limited run — a chance to discover a chef's world before it moves on. Breakfast, brunch, dinner, or the After Dark midnight kitchen: come curious, leave full, and carry the story of what you tasted.
