The 15 Best West African Restaurants In London

"We’re not sure when bakeries started selling jollof rice, stews, and fresh-off-the-grill meats but Angels Bakery—a staple across south east and east London from Peckham to Plumstead—executes this concept perfectly. Almost nobody walks out of Angels Bakery with just baked goods. Even though the bread and fish/meat pies are what they specialise in, their jollof rice, which is deep in flavour, not too tomato-heavy, and vividly seasoned, and succulent grilled suya is better than many takeout and dining spots. For a more-ish, homely snack, the soft sweet bread spooned with some Ghanaian shito (that you can find in many shops nearby to all their stores) is a must-try." - riaz phillips
