About us
Our culinary ethos blends innovation, live fire cooking, umami, and an array of exotic spices. Infused with our founder Aji Akokomi’s West African heritage, our dedicated team of chefs expertly craft a diverse range of dishes, honouring tradition while pushing the boundaries of culinary creativity. We blend the freshest seasonal British ingredients with African spices, resulting in a dining experience that is both culturally resonant and distinctly exceptional.
Our Menus
We offer a full tasting menu for both lunch and dinner, with a shorter menu available during lunch hours from Thursday to Saturday, 12-2pm.
Complementing your experience, we offer three drink pairings. Our signature Akoko pairing combines ingredients, cocktails, and wines from across Africa. Alternatively, enjoy our curated wine pairing for harmonious flavours. If you prefer non-alcoholic options, our soft pairing includes house-made beverages to perfectly complement your meal.
