Tamar's Restaurant & Wine Bar

The Best Restaurants in Woolwich and Plumstead, South East London | Eater London

"Following the success of a mobile food business, the team behind Tamar’s Restaurant & Bar chose Woolwich as the location for the restaurant’s permanent site, based on the area’s rich African culture. Celebrating West African cuisine, the restaurant serves a collection of broadly Nigerian dishes with other influences also thrown in, including Gambian/Senegalese cheb yacine, also known as “white jollof.” Highlights from the lengthy menu include the likes of pepper soup made with uziza leaves; asun featuring goat meat that’s chopped into bite-sized pieces and ferociously spiced (as it should be); whole grilled tilapia with chilli sauce; and isi ewu, a traditional Igbo specialty of slow-braised goat head garnished with thick rings of raw white onion." - Jonathan Hatchman
