La Barra Colombian Restaurant & Cafe

The Best Fried Chicken In London

"An order of Dominican fried chicken at La Barra is a glorious celebration of the fact that you will be doing absolutely nothing for the foreseeable. The Elephant and Castle restaurant underplays its humbly named five-piece plate of chicken considering it also comes with plantain and a pile of chicharrónes, which makes it look like it could feed you through the apocalypse. The chicken, coated in a thick vortex of swirling deep-fried crunch, is superb. Just don’t forget to drizzle it with lemon, get some homemade chilli sauce on the side, and cancel all plans." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
