Mamas Peri Peri - (Near , South East)

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.

Ahmed Raza Khan New Rajdouth never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, the warm aroma of spices instantly lifts your mood. Their onion bhaji is perfectly crisp, the cheese naan melts beautifully, and the korma sauce has that smooth, creamy richness that keeps you coming back. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcome every time. A wonderful place for authentic flavour and great service.

David Prescott Lovely rustic experience right by the seashore and yacht club. Delicious breakfast barms and good coffee. Perfect spot for a midway stop on a walk along the beachfront. Very very handy for our stay at the Whitstable beach house. Shame missed the happy hour oysters - fantastic value

Lena Jogie Very nice small bespoke cafe with excellent service. Food is good quality and atmosphere is nice. I think the service is what did it for me and will go back. The soup was nice and quite filling. Lots of variety on the menu. I was there on a Monday mid morning and I thought it was quite busy but no issues with getting a table as I know it could be busier.

Jack H Fantastic food and service with a smile! From the minute you walk in the decor gives cosy / authentic vibes and the food did not disappoint. The dishes come packed full of delicious flavours and spices from the Southern region, a real culinary experience and a welcome change to the food served at the usual westernised Indian restaurants. You can tell the food is authentic and made with love at this family run establishment. We look forward to returning.
