SenatorTot I recently had the pleasure of dining at this small African restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I stepped inside, I felt warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and the inviting ambiance. The restaurants authentic African cuisine truly transported me to a world of vibrant flavors and aromatic spices. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with unique combinations and traditional ingredients that showcased the rich culinary heritage of Africa. Whether youre a fan of bold stews, tender grilled meats, or fragrant vegetarian options, this place has something for everyone. I highly recommend trying their signature dish, Fish and Rice(jallof). The tender fish and perfectly balanced spices made it a true standout. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring a satisfying meal that left me craving for more. One of the things that impressed me the most was the attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience. The presentation of the dishes was impeccable, and the flavors were simply unforgettable. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to explain the origin and ingredients of each dish, enhancing my appreciation for African cuisine. The restaurants cozy and intimate setting added to the overall charm. Its the perfect place for a romantic date night or a cozy gathering with friends. The authentic African artwork and music created an atmosphere that made me feel like I was on a culinary adventure across the continent. Lastly, I must mention the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. They were more than happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and provide recommendations based on personal preferences. In conclusion, this small African restaurant is an absolute gem that deserves recognition. The mouthwatering dishes, warm hospitality, and inviting atmosphere make it a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Africa. I cannot wait to return and explore more of their incredible menu. Dont miss out on this culinary journey—you wont be disappointed!

Benjamin Seow Nice sophisticated casual place with great atmosphere and live music. Great Sunday roast beef.

Yus Ali I had come here yesterday evening for dinner with my partner, I’ll give you a run down of the restaurant and the value for money and quality of food: Price: £9 per person, this allows you to eat as much as you want for around 2hrs. 2/5 stars Service: hardly any service, just main counter where you pay and get a plate with cutlery from. So I would not say much of a service, 1 cleaner who is also taking plates away from tables once you leave. 1/5 stars Food quality: by looking at the food from the outside it looks pretty decent, when we attended the food buffet counter I found some of the food to be warmish and not hot enough, the selection was not massive but had some of the usual things you would find in a Chinese takeaway but missing quite a few basics too. There were also no deserts or fresh fruits which would have probably helped the shops selections. 3/5 stars Overall I can’t give more than 3/5 stars for this place but felt if I could give 2.5/5 stars this would be a better reflection. I probably wouldn’t come back here unless things changed and there were more selection going on considering the amount of food places within a 2 min walk.

Dylan Was thinking of what I could eat as I walked past this restaurant, I am so glad I looked at the menu. 10/10 jollof. The spice was perfect! You get alot for the price aswell.

Leila Maria Ive been coming here since 2014 and the food and quality has been great consistently. The staff are lovely and accommodating and the food is just the best I dont care where I am.

Maia Mason-Syme This sushi is so nice! It tastes so fresh and is much better than other sushi Ive had before. The selection is far bigger than most places and they have noodles, mochi and even sandwiches as well. The shrimp gyoza and sashimi including yellow tail, tuna and salmon are my favourites as well as the chocolate mochi! The price is so good for what you get as quality is amazing and its all fresh every single day!
