African Spoons Restaurant in London is a modern Nigerian eatery and bar.
With a respectful homage to its African roots, diners are treated to a well-rounded selection of Nigerian recipes presented proudly on the generous menu. Fresh ingredients are carefully sourced, with alternative cuts of meat transformed into delectable dishes. Cow foot, goat head, and tripe are skilfully handled to bring something distinct, and economical, to the pass. Appetisers are varied and flavoursome like hot and spicy goat meat; seasonal snails; seasoned chicken gizzard, and the very hot dish of nkwobi. With a side order of fried plantain, diners are encouraged to experience the true taste of Africa. The main course options are just as traditional as the entrees. The classic south Nigerian dish of edikang ikong is amongst the many which consists of pumpkin leaves, crayfish, water leaves, dry fish, ponmo, and spices. Classic bean, rice and pepper soup dishes appear with pride and are offered alongside an assortment of meats, fish, and poultry. Spoons’ specials consist of a delightful selection of fish dishes with the meat cooked and marinated in differing ways. Yams cooked with palm oil, and blended with herbs and spices create the basis for a porridge that perfectly complements meats and fish. Conclude with a few cooling scoops of ice cream and a drink from the licensed bar.
African Spoons’ décor is neutral in tone while West African crafts lend authenticity and honesty to the venue. The intimate setting is enhanced by jazz and West African music playing in the background. Friendly and attentive staff provide a supportive framework upon which this successful restaurant is built.
