The 15 Best West African Restaurants In London

"Waakye Joint provides the perfect introduction to Ghanaian food. Your first port of call should be the eponymous waakye. The dish is almost a set menu in itself. A bed of soft rice and beans is accompanied by salad, noodles, a boiled egg, well-seasoned fried fish, and a dollop of shito. It’s perfect for lunch but the portions are so friendly, it may very well carry you through to dinner. You could stop to sit and eat but Waakye Joint, with its extensive glass cabinets of food, is more primed for takeaway as you’ll see from the waves of people coming in and out. Expect Saturdays to be busy as traffic is halted on the nearby Seven Sisters Road as revellers head to the local struggling football team, Tottenham Hotspur." - riaz phillips

I was referred to this shop by a friend two days ago. I kept it safe and ordered what I knew( beans and fish). It tasted superb. And today I said I must go back. The ladies serving were all smiles and even suggested I try something new (waakye). I’m currently eating it as I write this and my taste buds are going wild. Who ever knew I’ll love Ghanaian food like this, and this is coming from a Nigerian. I certainly have to commend the ladies on their service today as haven worked in customer service management in the past I value good customer care. Keep it up. I’ll certainly be back to try new dishes at this branch. #fibrosis

Akara sold at your shop on West Green Road has lost its original taste. I'm not sure if new staff introduced a different recipe, but it doesn't taste good anymore.

Nowhere to sit in at this branch but the food is EXCELLENT!! Their jollof is out of this world, the fish is fresh and the prawns are so juicy. I went to 2 branches in 2 days - the food was THAT good! 😅💕😋 not cheap but competitively priced. Would 8/10 recommend

There is a wide variety of food and the server was generous. There was nowhere to sit when I visited and the banku was not fresh - it seemed to be there for a long time. Also the prawns and fish in the clear container was off. It was not the best for a first impression. However the jellof was nicely spiced.

The ambiance and vibe were great! The waakye, especially, is the real Northern Ghana style and really delicious. I’ll definitely recommend it to friends and family

Popped in here on a walk through the area with my wife to grab a pastie and it really blew our heads off. The lamb was fragrant and slightly spicy and the pastry itself was beautiful. Carl and Theo were both extremely welcoming and give off a great positive energy. We will certainly be heading back to have a full meal some time soon!
