Finger Licking was a small Ghanaian restaurant in [[Locale Croydon|Croydon]], just behind [[West Croydon Station]]. It has now closed, and the building it was in has been demolished. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Ghanaian restaurant in [[Locale Croydon|Croydon]], just behind [[West Croydon Station]]. It's quite small, with seating for only about 15 or so people. They also do takeaway, and usually have a few pre-packed takeaway boxes in the fridge in the front window containing things like jollof rice with chicken and fried plantain, or waakye (rice and beans) with fish and a boiled egg. At lunchtime and during the afternoon they do a buffet, which is also available for takeaway. [[Kake]] has visited several times now for both eat-in and takeaway, most recently in December 2019. On my first few visits, the staff were reluctant to let me order some of the dishes since they weren't sure a non-African person would like them, but after they'd seen me a few times they were quite happy to let me try anything I liked. In November 2012, I tried the waakye with fish stew <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8269057829/ photo]</small>. The waakye was a well-balanced mix of rice and beans, and the fish wasn't overcooked. The accompaniments to this were toasted cassava flour for sprinkling on top, a small dish of cold noodles, a deeply savoury chilli sauce, and a small fresh salad. On another visit in May 2013, I had the kenkey with mixed meat (£7) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8966836098 photo]</small>. The kenkey consisted of a wonderfully sour fermented steamed dough, and the mixed meat stew was nicely spicy. In May 2014, a takeaway box of jollof rice with fried plantain and mixed meat (£3.50) was a generous portion and very attractively arranged in its box. The mixed meat included cow skin, honeycomb tripe, and beef, all of which were cooked just right. Accessibility: A step to get in, and another step to get to the seating area. The toilets are next door, in the Phoenix pub.
