The Best Restaurants in Camberwell, South East London | Eater London

"There’s holes in walls, and then there is Akwaaba Kitchen, which is literally a hole in the wall on Camberwell New Road and easy to walk past even for locals who know exactly where it is. Akwaaba means “welcome” in Twi, Ghana’s most mutually understood language, and Akwaaba Kitchen mainly specialises in chichinga, skewers of meat doused in a spicy, aromatic powder, which can be had on jollof rice, or with rice in a wrap which Akwaaba get extra credit for not succumbing to calling it a “burrito.” But he best thing at Akwaaba is not the skewers nor the wrap, or indeed anything traditionally Ghanaian, but the glazed hot wings, shatteringly crisp and tossed in a spicy and sweet ginger sauce. Ask for extra shito on the side." - Jonathan Nunn
