West African restaurant. Best African fine dining in London. Located in London.

Akoko is a Michelin-starred West African restaurant offering a refined tasting menu experience that bridges Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and the Gambia.

Inside, terracotta-hued walls, custom African-inspired ceramics, and an open charcoal grill set a warm, intimate ambiance.

The set menu (from £59 for lunch; £120–125 for dinner) unfolds in 6–10 courses

featuring dishes like jollof rice with lobster, ox tongue suya, fermented rice pancakes, and monkfish with maitake—all cooked over fire and served with bold flavours and precision.

Why should you go to this venue?

Akoko transforms West African flavours into a fine-dining tasting menu that’s both bold and balanced.

Signature dishes like jollof rice topped with puffed rice, monkfish grilled to smoky perfection, and ox tongue suya with bone marrow emulsion leave a lasting impression.

Reviews regularly praise the intensity and creativity of each course, with diners noting that “this is not granny’s jollof rice”.

The service—from counter seating facing the open kitchen to expert wine or African cocktail pairings—maintains warmth and engagement throughout.

As one Redditor put it: “Every item…was insanely flavorful with a great balance of umami and brightness.”

Akoko’s reputation sits comfortably in London’s elite, whether you're new to West African cuisine or returning for its chef-led innovation.
