Plantain was always the side. We made it the main.
Dodo Planet is Lagos’s plantain-first kitchen: familiar Nigerian meals, built around the golden, caramelised dodo everyone fights over.
It starts at the market
Why plantain?
A Nigerian favourite that never got its own spotlight
Dodo is on almost every Nigerian table, yet most restaurants still treat it as an extra you add at the end. We think it deserves better.
So we built a menu where plantain leads every plate: fried, roasted as bole, or loaded up, and paired with the rice, beans, chicken and fish you already love. Fresh ingredients, honest portions and prices that make sense for an everyday meal.
The journey so far
- Feb 2023
Dodo Planet is born
We registered Dodo Planet Ltd with one simple idea: give plantain lovers a place of their own.

First orders from Shomolu
We started cooking from a small kitchen in Shomolu, delivering across Lagos through WhatsApp and Glovo. And people came back for more.
- 2025
We listened and learned
Long cross-city deliveries cost our customers too much. So we rethought how you get your food: closer to you, faster and fairer.
- Coming soon
