The Best Nigerian Restaurants In London

"Kingsland Road is a far cry from the sunny Lekki Peninsula to the south of Lagos state, but this small restaurant delivers a slice of south western Nigerian culture. Like a number of Nigerian restaurants in London on a Friday night, melodious renditions of afrobeat classics are played by a live band while big group of friends and tables of aunties and uncles tuck into a Nigerian feast, and become more boisterous as the hours tick on. The go-to dishes are Lekki’s Nigerian soups, for good reason. It’s impossible to describe the deliciousness of these stews in so few words, especially the egusi. When you finish the accompanying swallow, such as pounded yam, you might find yourself diving in hands first to finish the rest. For a quick lunchtime snack, the pies, historically derived from and reminiscent of Cornish pasties with a Nigerian seasoned twist, will fill you up for the afternoon." - riaz phillips

Lekki Restaurant And Bar Review - Haggerston - London - The Infatuation

"Kingsland Road is a far cry from the sunny Lekki Peninsula to the south of Lagos state, but this small restaurant delivers a slice of south western Nigerian culture. Like a number of Nigerian restaurants in London on a Friday night, melodious renditions of afrobeat classics are played by a live band while big groups of friends and tables of aunties and uncles tuck into a Nigerian feast, and become more boisterous as the hours tick on. Looking around, you’ll notice the go-to dishes are Lekki’s Nigerian soups—for good reason. It’s impossible to describe the deliciousness of these stews in so few words, especially the egusi, made with crushed melon seeds and pumpkin leaf. Just know that when you finish the accompanying swallow—the soft ball of starch, such as pounded yam, used to scoop the stews—you might find yourself just diving in hands first to finish the rest. (Looking around, you’ll also notice this is more common than resorting to cutlery.) Lekki isn’t just a late-night spot though. For a quick lunchtime snack, the pies, historically derived from and reminiscent of Cornish pasties with a Nigerian seasoned twist, will fill you up for the afternoon. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Riaz Phillips

Visiting from out of town, I was impressed with the food here. Not my first time eating Nigerian or West African food, it was all delicious. Minor critique of the asun, was that it wasn’t as juicy as I’ve had at other locations, but the flavor was still really good, and spicy. Paired the asun with asaro and sauce and plantains and my spouse got the egusi with efo, beef/tripe and goat. Goat was tender and easily came off the bones. Lawrence, the chef, does an amazing job. Even more a fan that he lets the food speak for itself. Naturally he likes it, but he lets you be the judge. Definitely worth the trip!

One of the best restaurant that I’ve ever visited in London! Wasn’t expecting anything even though we saw they have a good rating. The jollof rice is out of the world, very rich tasting. The fish reminds me of home - I am from Indonesia.

Travelled to London for some days with my friend and visits this restaurant, the food were so delicious and well presented, the stuff were so nice and friendly. This is the best of all African restaurants that I have been with the best of meals.

Wouldn't order again, portion sizes are stingy for the cost, the suya was covered in more veg to fill up the lunch box. I also regret ordering the pepe soup which should have been described properly on the deliveroo menu. Also please cut your plantain as you do in picks rather than in large semi- dry chunks. Very dissapointed and I'm sure the quality of food would have been different inside the restaurant, but clearly they don't care about their delivery customers.

I ate Asaro(yam porridge). It was fantastic. The portion was great. The reviews helped me find the restaurant when I travelled to London for a visa appointment.

This was a return visit after awhile. On this occasion the food did not hit the spot. The service was great as usual, attentive and responsive. The amala was fluffy and with no lumps, the ogbono soup this time did not have the taste, flavour and freshness as I know they can deliver. Authentic African food choices.

The service was good although was unsure who was serving me initiallyas the server was sat at the restaurant tables as if eating his own meal with others. The same server went back and forth to the kitchen which got me thinking about cleanliness and hygiene... was it the same person preparing the food also? The food when it arrived was not fresh as the Suya meat was tough as nails. The flavour was fine but what use is flavoursome food you can't eat? Am I to just lick it? The fried yam was hard aswell not sure how you can get such simple starters so wrong. Then the mains arrived and boy this was a bigger disappointment. Ordered Abula and it was not fresh at all, actually could have sworn it was off. Worst Niaja food I've ever eaten. Really big waste of money. Also the toilets were awful, stunk of urine and was unkepemt. Avoid unless you have money to waste or you don't know how to cook real Niaja food as this really was not it. Threw most of the food away as it was inedible.

I'm a vet when it comes to Nigerian food (from the village to the states to Canada to Europe, etc) and the food here is just OK. It isn't "amazing" nor outstanding, it's just typical nigerian food that you'd get at a nigerian party/event. I've definitely had much better. Not really worth the price. I ordered jollof rice with plaintain and chicken. The rice is decent. The stew is meh.. The chicken is the best part but the taste has Caribbean influence. It could pass for jamaican grilled chicken. Overall, if I'm in the area again and I have the £££ to blow/waste, i'll come back again.

Absolutely AMAZING!!! They stayed open late to serve my friends and I the most delicious Nigerian feast. I had never had Nigerian before, and it left me wanting more. I can't recommend it enough!!
