World-class spicy beef jerky (Kilishi), handcrafted in Abuja.

A northern kitchen tradition, kept honest in the heart of Abuja.

Crispy and Spicy began with a simple refusal: we would not accept kilishi that arrived dry, over-oiled or different from the last pack. So we built our own kitchen on Shehu Shagari Way in Maitama, chose our own halal beef, and worked the traditional northern method — hand-cut, hand-brushed with groundnut and spice, sun-dried, fire-finished — until every batch tasted exactly like the one before it.

Nothing artificial goes in, nothing leaves the kitchen unsealed, and every pack is dated the day it is made. What started as trays for family and friends now travels to homes, offices, shops and Nigerians abroad — Kilishi, Dambu and Kuli Kuli, made the slow way, every single week.
