Our Story

Luma boa'a Neh

Named for Lum & Neh

Luma boa'a Neh is named for the two lights of the owner's life — his wife, Lum, and his daughter, Neh. What began as a name whispered between family became the name over the door: a promise that this tavern would always feel like coming home, warm and familiar, no matter how far you've traveled to get here.

That same spirit of home shows up on the plate. Our kitchen blends the bold, comforting flavors of Cameroonian cooking — peppered stews, plantains, jollof-spiced rice — with the hearty classics of American tavern fare. It's a menu built the way our family was built: two traditions, one table.
