Stork Mayfair

"Stork does an excellent job of adding unique twists to pan-Afro-Caribbean favourites. The peppery BBQ octopus suya is a perfect example. Served on a bed of yam fries, it's like a dish of calamari and chips served off the Côte d’Azur, reimagined for the warm breeze of the Gulf of Guinea. The mood is kind of fancy, but never stuffy. And the plush interior, with soft lighting and modern West African art, makes this spot an all-round good choice when you’re trying to impress someone." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Stork describes itself as a pan-African restaurant and dishes have a Mayfair sheen, but its Nigerian roots are hard to miss and everything has a unique twist. The rib-eye of beef suya and duo of chicken suya will please traditionalists with a slow, creeping but thrilling umami heat. Seafood options are as plentiful as you could imagine from a nation with such a broad coast and rivers flowing through every crevice of it. Stork’s version of egusi is a dream for seafood-lovers as the mellow blended seeds are swimming with mussels, shrimp, and king prawns amidst a sea of shredded mackerel. Just make sure to put on your finest—everyone else does." - riaz phillips

"Stork’s food is a pan-Afro-Caribbean feast. It’s all about old favourites with a unique twist. Stork’s put-together Mayfair setting is similarly sleek. The dress code is fitting of their west London location and higher-end price point, so put on your finest—everyone else does. That being said, the plush interior with soft lighting and modern West African art avoids any stuffiness." - team infatuation
