Auntie Niko Waakye in Christiansborg occupies a modest wooden stall where the scent of spiced rice and beans drifts into the street well before sunrise. The namesake, Auntie Niko, started cooking here decades ago, serving laborers and office workers long before the neighborhood transformed into a hub for expatriates and trendy cafes. She still prepares the rice over wood fires, a method that infuses the grains with a distinct, smoky flavor. The queue usually stretches down the block by eight in the morning.
