"Adejoké Bakare has registered Chishuru — which from Brixton Market serves dishes such as pork belly asun with charcoal-grilled peppers and onions, jollof rice, kale salad; cassava fritters; and degue with pear — as one of London’s best, most creative new restaurants, whose cooking and atmosphere inspire a devotion that is unmistakably that of love. To eat there is share in it, and there is little more romantic than that." - Emma Hughes, James Hansen
"The £30 lunch set at Joké Bakare’s Brixton hit offers some of the most thrilling food in the city. Begin with sinasir, a soured brown rice pancake with carrots and mandarin; move on to a comforting, golden ekoki, soft with sweetcorn alongside precisely grilled mackerel; and finish with a plantain and baobab ice cream. If there’s bavette and yaji as a supplement, get amongst it." - Emma Hughes, James Hansen
"Adejoké Bakare’s Chishuru is at the centre of its street on Market Row in Brixton, so the outdoor tables, while unheated, are rarely drafty. Her faultless hospitality delivers dishes like chicken gizzards with citrus, chilli, and plantain; bavette steak with yaji; and goat ayamase with a prickly green sauce. One of the most outstanding openings of 2020." - Adam Coghlan, James Hansen
