Akoko

The Food:
Plantain mosa – beef tartare, sosu kaani
Gambian stew – Irish oyster, tatase relish
Moimoi – mackerel, vatapá
Tatale – goat’s milk cashew cream and Exmoor caviar
Jollof rice – Hereford beef, Shinto XO, purple carrot
Overall, I highly recommend Akoko. I absolutely loved the food. I exited its doors, looking forward to a return. I’d love to see the team really get behind South African wines, whose panoply of styles means it could easily cater to all delectations. It would make a statement. If you have never tried West African cuisine before and wish to see the culinary height achievable, then try Akoko.
