Calabar Kitchen 1

Delicious meal of well spiced grilled Tilapia Fish with with option of double sides of fried yam & plantain.

The friendliest staff in an African restaurant. Delicious food...

Not one for posting reviews but having frequented African restaurants as a whole for many years, I must say this beats them all hands down. Very friendly atmosphere, almost like you are at home. Staff very nice and competent. Anyone who goes to African restaurants will know what I mean. Will 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed. Well done CK1 keep up the good work.

Lovely atmosphere and great food

Hands down one of the best Nigerian restaurants in London - only just discovered it but couldn't be more impressed. The food was very nice as in proper authentic, the place was clean and the staff were polite. It's a yes from me.

Meal was over priced. When we asked for our bill, the lady just stood and calculated what we ate in her head and told us what to pay which was extremely high and unprofessional. We wanted to ask for the menu to recheck the prices but we thought otherwise. We had an idea of what we would pay and was stunned at what she said. I patronize Africa restaurants but this was the worst in terms of price and delivery! On the positive, the food was fairly good.

I had but lost hope of a decent Nigerian restaurant with acceptable service, tasteful food, good atmosphere and justifiably priced...please check my other reviews for restaurants to avoid..... Finally I can say that Calabar Kitchen blew my expectations out of the water. Our server, Precious, who was as precious as his name suggests was great. We were a table of 4 women who although nigerian born needed some direction on what we should order. Precious was patient and informative on all the dishes. I had the pepper soup to start with the edikangkong. My gracious, the pepper soup was not only delicious but the meat was plentiful. I felt like my mum was in the kitchen instructing the chefs hands, it was either my mum or the angels of good food, either way the chef delivered. After experiencing the meagre portions of other locations like 805's and Enish, I warned our server Precious that, I have a big appetite and Precious was confident that there was no way I would be able to finish my pounded yam....Precious was right, I'm stubborn I tried. I had to take it home with me, and yet away from the restaurant, the next day the delight continued. The food was lovingly wrapped, in clingfilm then 2 rounds of foil, my soup was wrapped in 2 rounds of clingfilm and I felt like I had a fresh take away delivery from the restaurant as my soup and pounded yam was replenished. I cant wait to go back. Hands down this little know Nigerian restaurant is the best I have come across after a long and disappointing search

Use to love this restaurant, their food is lovely and the workers are very friendly and kind but the manager is very rude and ignorant. He has no customer service and doesn’t know how to except his wrong in regards to giving and hearing incorrect orders.
