The Best Nigerian Restaurants In London

"Akoko’s sister restaurant Akara, among the hustle and bustle of Borough Market, is similarly sleek, but more casual. The West African food is no less delicious, with a menu that tingles all the senses. Fried chicken bites lathered in a delicate hot sauce paves the way for the restaurant's namesake Nigerian akara. Our go-to filling for these simultaneously crispy and fluffy fritters is BBQ prawn. Ordered alongside a smoky efik rice or plantain, you could call it a day and be more than satisfied. But plates like short rib suya, BBQ chicken or cod, as well as BBQ king oyster mushrooms turn a brief lunch into a feast." - riaz phillips
