"For decades, Nigerian dignitaries and celebrities have headed down the Old Kent Road to visit this pioneer of British West African fine dining. 805 Restaurants’s smartly dressed waitstaff serve dishes like edikanikong (a leafy green, pumpkin, and crayfish stew), efo riro (spinach stew), and juicy, fiery grilled prawns on polished porcelain plates. Our cutlery usually remains spotless, though, as we tear apart house specialty monika—crispy-skinned, succulent fish with chilli sauce." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, riaz phillips
