Nigerian bowls in the K Street lunch rush
Nuli opened inside the Square food hall on K Street in August 2025, taking the Nigerian kitchen into DC's endless lunch bowl market.
Proteins are lamb meatballs or spicy prawns, bases are couscous, fonio or rice. The fonio is the one that makes the bowl worth choosing over the ten others on the floor.

I was at The Square for the World Cup watch party and stopped at Nuli to try one of their rice bowls with the jollof rice and the beef patties. Overall, very tasty and a decent price ($13-ish) - especially considering the other options in the area. Would definitely come back to try another option the next time!

Nuli is so so good! The juices are super unique and flavorful (hibiscus pineapple ginger was my fav). The meals are fully customizable with built in options for vegans and omnivores. I loved my sandwich and that it came in a smaller size! High recommend for lunch or dinner. Reasonable prices. It inside the office building food court The Square next to the pizza place.

Stopped by for lunch and had the small Jollof Rice bowl with grilled chicken. It was very fresh, flavorful and delicious. The service was prompt and friendly. I would stop by again during my lunch break.

Came here for lunch and left impressed. The jollof rice with chicken was flavorful and smoky. The plantains and red bell pepper complimented it perfectly. Service was attentive and the atmosphere made it a great midday spot. Will definitely be back

Reviews should definitely be higher: the naan wraps are very good. The bread is baked fresh every day and it’s delicious. You should check this out!
