Our Story

The Restaurant
After five incredible years of bringing the rich and authentic flavors of African cuisine to Los Angeles through The Peppered Goat, it was time to elevate the experience. With a loyal following and a passion for pushing the culture forward, the journey evolved into something greater—Jagabans LA.
Inspired by the desire to offer a more refined, contemporary take on Nigerian and African cuisine, Jagabans LA emerged as a spring shoot from the deeply rooted foundation of The Peppered Goat. It’s more than a restaurant; it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and culinary innovation. Here, we blend the traditional with the modern, crafting a dining experience that is as vibrant and bold as the heritage it represents.
While The Peppered Goat brought the warmth and authenticity of African dishes to the city, Jagabans LA takes it further with elevated plating, Afrocentric fine dining, and a commitment to showcasing the depth and diversity of Nigerian flavors to a broader audience.
This evolution is not just about food—it’s about storytelling, innovation, and continuing to shine a spotlight on African culture in new and exciting ways. At Jagabans LA, we welcome you to experience the next chapter in our journey, where heritage meets sophistication, and every bite pushes the culture forward.
Welcome to the evolution. Welcome to Jagabans LA.
