Lolak Afrique Peckham

The 23 Best Restaurants In Peckham

"There isn't an officially designated Little Nigeria or Little Lagos in London, but Peckham’s Choumert Road is high on the list. Among market stalls, hairdressers, and grocery shops, Lolak Afrique and its luminous red banner glow like a beacon. On the way to the counter to order, you’ll pass single diners and whole families, both with a spread of homely dishes that you would find in a Nigerian bukka (local Nigerian eateries). Stews are bolstered with offal such as tripe, and soups come with large fish heads which are wolfed down. Get the abula, a tricolour, trifecta of soups featuring lightly salted, leafy green ewedu; gbegiri with sun-yellow, subtly sweet blended beans; and a rich, red tomato stew with a touch of spice." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, riaz phillips
