Asafo - Lambeth

From a busy crossing of brixton hill is this African restaurant. we could smell the food outside and it was pretty busy on a Sunday night. we sat down and began to look at the menu. to be honest, I think myself a food, but I really didn't know what the half of the ingredients were in the descriptions, even a short google helped me eventually went for banku and okro, which was a spicy kisser stew with okra cooked with a side by Jollof rice (the okra had broken up, the onepot made a little slender inside.) it had different pieces of meat. the taste of the stew was quite good...read more

First time visiting London, and a friend suggested I try this spot out. I took the fam for their first time authentic West African food, they loved it. As someone who loves West African food this spot did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and fresh! I had jollof with the suya wings (omg the best wings ever), and the fam had jollof with Tilapia. Definitely added on my list of favorites for when I come back to visit .

I was so happy about my food. I had Yam and Palawa sauce and I loved it! The take away kelewele was indeed too oily but everything else was great that’s why it’s getting five stars from me.

Quality food! Just wish when you buy stews separately they would have more choice of sizes, because for £6.50 the containers are wayyyy smaller than other restaurants. They should think our having a £10 container which is much two sizes above what is seen in the photo.

You certainly don't visit this restaurant for the decor but for the typical delicious Ghanaian food. Brings back lots of lovely memories of Accra
