La Cucina Di Mamma - (Near Southwark, london)

Just Cheryl My favourite dish is the crispy noodles with squid. The place has calm surroundings, beautiful ceramics, and a lovely husband-and-wife team. I’ve been a repeat customer because the food is great—though I do wish some customers were more patient, as I’ve seen a few be unnecessarily rude.

SD 4.5/5 Akara has been on my list for about a year so I was so excited to go and try it out. It really did live up to the hype! Everything I tasted was delicious and what elevated the experience was getting to try so many new flavour combinations. I haven’t had a meal as intriguing as this in a long time. The service was also great, our waitress was so friendly and able to help us decide what we wanted to order. We had the prawn Akara which came with a rich spicy Senegalese sauce that paired beautifully together. We also had the lamb dibi (if you love lamb this is a must try), beef yaji, Lagos chicken, grilled pork and efik rice. The pork was so tender and with the yam sauce, I was fighting myself to slow down and enjoy the dish properly. The rice was moist and flavourful, if you’re hungry I would recommend getting a portion each. We had the warm plantain cake for dessert that tasted like a lighter sticker toffee pudding. I only wish the portion was bigger, it was gone too quickly My only negative points would be it was cold in the restaurant! I was admittedly in a backless dress so bring a cardigan if you’re planning to dress up. I also found it a little noisy due to the chatter reverberating off of the high ceiling. Other than that, I’ll definitely be back in the future to try the other dishes.

Jimmy Sitompul This is the best and most authentic Mexican restaurant I have ever had in London. I ordered Baja Prawn Taco, Pork Carnitas, and Empanada de Chicharon, all were very delicious! My wife and I visited this restaurant on Sunday, and they have Mexican music performance every Sunday, it is very welcoming and worth visiting. All the staffs and the music performer were very friendly and helpful. Would absolutely come back here and highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food to go here

Saj xo Really tasty food, great portions, and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Ali Ege Deveci These fried chickens are great value for money and absolutely delicious. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the food is always fresh and served hot.

Erika Vallido My husband and I enjoyed our food! The place feels homely, and the food we tried were all fresh and delicious. The portions will surprise you! Make sure to ask first how big it is as some of the mains are good for sharing, like the Churrasco steak! We’ll def comeback to try other dishes!
