Traditional Nigerian fried dough pastry served as a snack or dessert. Light and fluffy with subtle sweetness, these golden balls of fried dough are a beloved West African treat enjoyed at celebrations and as everyday snacks.
Puff Puff is West Africa's answer to the doughnut – but with its own unique character. At Emgees African Restaurant & Bakery, our Puff Puff is made fresh daily using a simple dough of flour, sugar, yeast, and nutmeg, then deep-fried to golden perfection. The result is a light, fluffy, slightly sweet pastry with a crispy exterior and soft, airy interior. These golden spheres are a staple at Nigerian celebrations, parties, and gatherings, but they're also enjoyed as an everyday snack. The subtle sweetness makes them versatile – perfect on their own, dusted with powdered sugar, or paired with a cold drink. Some customers enjoy them with spicy pepper sauce for a sweet-and-spicy combination. Whether you're looking for a quick snack, dessert, or party treat, our freshly made Puff Puff delivers authentic Nigerian flavor in every bite.
Our Puff Puff is made fresh throughout the day using a traditional recipe that creates the perfect texture – crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The subtle hint of nutmeg adds depth to the flavor, while the light sweetness makes them irresistible. These are the Puff Puff you remember from home.
