London’s Best-Value Restaurants | Where to Eat Cheap But Not Cheap Eats | Eater London

"The first stop for any West African musician playing down the road at Barking, or at least it would be if anyone was playing Barking right now. Kate Armah’s Plaistow restaurant is still iconic among the Ghanaian and wider African community — see its Instagram feed to find out if it’s John Boyega or Zendaya who has been enjoying the red red recently. Kate’s can be found by following sound — just listen for basslines and Sarkodie rapping quickly in Twi — or smell. Roasted akonfem — guinea fowls — or deep-fried tsofi, fatty turkey tails, are worthy companions for jollof rice. Those more at home with textural pleasure should go for the fried gizzards or the hausa koko, a sour, spicy millet porridge that is truly the breakfast of champions." - Jonathan Nunn
