"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 Nigerian dishes like edikanikong (a leafy green, pumpkin, and crayfish stew), efo riro (spinach stew), and juicy, fiery grilled prawns on elegant, polished porcelain plates. Our cutlery usually remains spotless, though, as we tear apart house specialty monika—perfectly crispy-skinned, succulent fish with chilli sauce. Loud, but not overly raucous, music and conversation set the tone for date night or sensible large occasions." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, riaz phillips
