"Chishuru’s spacious, terracotta-toned space in Fitzrovia is a far cry from its original Brixton location that first made waves. But this spot continues to explore flavours like no other restaurant in London, using owner Joké Bakare’s Nigerian roots as a base for venturing out into the wider West African plains. There are spices and sauces you’ll want to mainline, be it an electric peppersoup broth or an egusi-slathered spiral of cabbage. It’s easy to see where this thoughtfulness comes from when Bakare greets tables upstairs and down, with hugs, kisses, and recommendations from the serious all-French wine list." - riaz phillips
