"Chishuru’s spacious, terracotta-toned space in Fitzrovia is a far cry from its original cupboard-sized Brixton location. That said, this modern West African spot still explores flavours like no other restaurant in London. There are spices and sauces you’ll want to mainline, be it an electric peppersoup broth or an egusi-slathered spiral of cabbage, and the set menu structure means everyone gets to have a bit of everything. It’s easy to see where this thoughtfulness comes from when owner Joké Bakare greets tables upstairs and down, with hugs, kisses, and recommendations from the serious all-French wine list." - riaz phillips
