Michelin-starred modern West African cooking served in a warm, terracotta-hued Fitzrovia townhouse that retains a homely, spicy soul.
Ordering Strategy
Dinner is a fixed set menu, so bring a partner to split the different main course options (meat, fish, or veg). The lunch menu offers excellent value for a similar experience.
What to order
Sinasir
This 'crisp yet chewy brown rice pancake' served with white crab meat and sorrel purée is described by critics as a textural masterpiece that sits 'firmly at the top' of London's crab dishes.
Guineafowl with taro root, ehuru & uziza sauce
A 'peppery and earthy and a total delight' of a main course that comes served with house pickles, a generous portion of rice, and 'beautifully caramelised plantain'.
Ṃóínṃóín
This steamed black-eyed bean cake with bean milk salsa and anchovy-red pepper sauce is a 'phenomenal mix of flavours' that 'wrecks your sense of what beans can do'.
Spiced Okra Martini
An inspired cocktail made with Ogogoro and chilli that is so potent the restaurant famously limits orders to 'two per guest'.

Good to know
Spice levels are genuine and high. The restaurant is split over two floors; the basement booth is best for privacy. Booking is essential.
