6 African restaurants to sample
![<b>Bolat African Cuisine</b>. A stunning black-and-white African-themed mural on the back wall is the first sign this Wrigleyville restaurant cares about appearances. But one spoonful of a truly peppery pepper soup shows Bolat's owners, Beatrice Hardnick and her son, Emmanuel Abidemi, are serious about providing "a sub-Saharan culinary excursion." The menu ranges from their native Nigeria to include dishes from Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal and other African countries. Newbies might want to consider the piri-piri shrimp, a spicy yet accessible starter posed on a pillow of creamy avocado. Starches anchor many African dishes, and there's a full range here, from seasoned jollof rice to ugali, a firm polentalike corn mush, to a silky and slightly sticky fufu made of pounded yam. Pair the fufu with egusi, a nubbly mix of ground melon seed, tomato and spinach. <i>3346 N. Clark St.,</i><i> 773-665-1100.
