Healthy Wok is all about healthy eating; It's the alternative to unhealthy fast food. It is an innovative concept that targets a new style of dinning, which is healthy and fast. Created by owners Ademola Ajibola, a medical doctor and Modupe Ajibola, an alternative health enthusiast and IT Consultant, healthy wok was borne out of the desire to change the way Nigerians eat, (by creating a healthy option of fast food) and to increase nutritional awareness.
Healthy Wok is tucked away in Surulere, Lagos, off Ogunlana Drive. It's unapologetic in its décor and feel, making it a good handout. Its clientele are diverse, attracting a mix of people, who are attracted by the buzz of the place, for it definitely has a lot going on.
