Penang Village Restaurant - (Near , london)

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.

porridge A pleasant place with really delicious sushi and a range of hot food around £10. The service is also fast despite it getting quite busy. The only thing worth noting is the small seating area so this place is more suited for takeaway rather than to eat in.

Mitzi and Watzu Reviews We have visited four times now, including for birthdays and Christmas and it has been consistently excellent. The food is always delicious, well thought out and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and all the staff are lovely. David in particular is always happy to chat when he has a moment. We enjoy cooking at home too and even bought their spice set (six metal tins), which is fantastic. Highly recommended.

kuldeep singh Excellent Experience! I had a wonderful time at Nando’s. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Every dish was beautifully presented. The service was quick without feeling rushed, and the attention to detail really made the evening special. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food and great service. I’ll definitely be coming back

Tracey Strudwick Despite being very understaffed tonight the two staff members did a sterling job. They worked very hard on a very busy evening just before christmas to ensure service was not compromised to the customers. We had a really nice meal as always. Thank you!
