"A hearty plate of jollof rice with beans and plantain is always a good idea from this West African restaurant in Hackney Central. There are plenty of staples like efo-riro and ayamase stew on the menu at Tomi’s Kitchen and, if you’re going rice-heavy, just make sure you get a decent ladle of fried tomato and chilli sauce on top. Together they’re the perfect mix of savoury, salty, and spicy. A tenner or so will go far here but a bag is recommended too. If we come for lunch, we tend to leave with dinner as well." - team infatuation
