Ikoyi Restaurant - (Near Westminster, london)

5 /5 Andy: Ikoyi has such a distinguished reputation it can only really disappoint. Im pleased to say it didnt. Ours was a menu of delicious little taste bombs with one slightly more substantial dish featuring their smoked jollof (dont get excited Ghanians, its not real jollof but it is delicious anyway). As hoped, the food was the star of the show and each course really did impress with the flavours, textures and presentation. I found the desserts werent as good as the starters and mains but thats probably more to do with my palate preferences than anything else. From reviews Id read I was expecting an African themed menu which isnt really the case, its more of a fusion menu with inspiration from all over (including the golden continent). The restaurant itself is a wonderfully designed space with exceptional ambience, it had atmosphere and moody charm without too much buzz or pretentiousness which is hard to achieve. The staff were also great; professional, warm and attentive without being over the top. It is madly expensive but if fine dining is your thing, its money well spent.

5 /5 Jiannuo Hu: Our experience at Ikoyi was defined by truly excellent service. The team were warm, attentive, and went the extra mile by inviting us to tour the kitchen, which was a lovely and memorable touch. In terms of food, the razor dish stood out, and the dessert was genuinely impressive. However, aside from those highlights, the rest of the menu felt less distinctive and didn’t leave a strong lasting impression for us to talk about when mentioning Ikoyi this experience. Overall, while the food was somewhat uneven, the outstanding service and a few standout dishes make Ikoyi deserving of two stars.
