 [[secretlondon]] visited for a takeaway in June 2010. I had the weekend special of bitter leaves, beef, and dried fish, with rice (£8). It was hotter than I expected, but I know nothing about Sierra Leonean food. I've been back a few times since and tried dishes including jerk chicken and jollof rice with chicken. The meat I've had from here wasn't offal unlike Moyo-Ma.

 They have a number of daily specials and sell home made ginger beer (which I've not sampled). They are also licensed. I've had an akara bean doughnut starter <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/6294547300/ photo] (&pound;1.99)</small> which was fun. They had a cinnamon flavour which contrasted with a spicy tomato sauce.

The meat I've had from here wasn't offal, unlike the "mixed meat" I had at [[Moyo-Ma, SE17 2AL|Moyo-Ma]] (another West African restaurant just down the road).

*Cassava leaves with mixed beef and dried fish - this was perfect. It came with fufu and was expertly flavoured.
*Grilled sea bass with plantain and veg - flavour was amazing but let down slightly because not all the fish scales had been removed properly.

*Jollof rice and stew meat - rich flavour but subtle compared to Nigerian equivalent at [[Canaan Restaurant, SE5 0HB|Canaan]]. Less greasy and spicy than Canaan which is a good thing but sometimes I'm in the mood for greasy and spicy!

A visitor called Camberwellian adds: An excellent restaurant with genuinely warm and friendly service. I've had:

  • Cassava leaves with mixed beef and dried fish - this was perfect. It came with Fufu and was expertly flavoured.
  • Grilled Sea Bass with plantain and veg - flavour was amazing but let down slightly because not all the fish scales had been removed properly.
  • Suya - delicious
  • Grilled gizzard - succulent and tasty
  • Jollof rice and stew meat - rich flavour but subtle compared to Nigerian equivalent at Canaan. Less greasy and spicy than Canaan which is a good thing but sometimes I'm in the mood for greasy and spicy!
