1. Chishuru
Brixton
This highly anticipated Brixton restaurant brings award-winning chef Joké Bakare’s vision of West African cuisine to a wider audience. Early signs have been extremely positive, and the restaurant is excellent for longtime fans of the cuisine and newcomers alike to Bakare’s take; charred mutton skewers, groundnut soup with spiced cauliflower and peanut, and slow-cooked goat shoulder ayamase are a few highlights of a concise menu of bangers.
Dining status: Open for indoor dining, terrace open for outdoor dining in the arcade.
