Where Tradition Meets Contemporary Culinary Art
Chef Segun’s culinary journey
Began in his grandmother’s restaurant on Lagos Island, a place known for lines that wrapped around the block and flavors people still talk about decades later. By ten, Chef was cooking for family events; by adulthood, he traded a medical career for what he truly loved, feeding people.
Today, Delicious African Orchards brings that legacy to New York City through refined dining experiences, vibrant flavors, and warm community-centered hospitality.
“Food should feel like home, even when it’s the first time you’ve tasted it.”
Chef Segun’s mission is to bring people together through flavor, culture, and shared moments around the table. Whether he’s teaching, cooking, or crafting a multi-course tasting menu, every experience invites guests into the warmth of the Orchards

Incredible experience! Such a great class. It ended up being just me and my teen, and we had the most amazing time with Segun. We learned to cook some really great food. But we also learned a lot about history and geography. He is a fascinating person who knows how to share his love of food and culture. Highly recommended!

Segun class was a 10/10. From his wonderful personality, to the history of the food, and last but not least the amazing food. We made plenty of food so we where able to take the leftovers.

We had a great time with Chef Segun. A ton of fun learning about Nigerian cooking, and Chef adds his own unique twist to the way of cooking. The class ended up being close to 2.5 hours, and we ate such a wonderful meal. We left satiated and also with multiple boxes of leftovers (the portions were extremely generous). Chef Segun has a very interesting life story which he shared with us. 10/10 would recommend.
