Nigerian restaurant in [[Locale Erith|Erith]].

It's split into two halves, having expanded over the years from a single shop unit into the one next door.  The left-hand side is somewhat cafe style, with black and white tiles on the floor, red and
black pleather chairs and banquettes, distressed wooden tables, and full-height windows at the front.  A small bar in the corner is stocked with spirits and canned and bottled beers.  The right-hand side is more elaborate, with stone cladding detailing and colourful artwork on the walls.

[[Kake]] visited on a Thursday lunchtime in March 2018.  There were no other customers when I arrived around 11:45am, but several came in for takeaways while I was there.  No music was playing, but a flatscreen was showing a Nigerian news programme with the sound on.

I went for ewa agoyin (mixed beans in a spicy sauce) with fried fish and plantain (&pound;7) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/38883553400/ photo]</small>.  The beans had a good texture, part mashed and part whole, and with no chalkiness or tough skins.  The flavour of palm oil was evident.  The fish was well-done, as is usual with West African food, but the interior remained relatively moist and flaky inside the crisp, chewy-in-a-good-way skin.  The plantain was soft and sweet, with some good browning around the edges.

Tap water arrived on request, in a pint glass.  Service was generally welcoming and friendly.

Accessibility: Step-free access to the left-hand side via a ramp (right-hand side not checked).  No steps from there to the ladies' toilet, which doubles as an accessible one (large cubicle, grab bars, alarm cord, visual fire alarm, etc).
