Suya Academy

The location is on Plumsted and one amazing thing about the place is that it is strategically positioned directly in front of (Plumstead Road/Plumstead Station) WL - Bus Stop. Hence it’s very easy to locate.

Well, the only thing I didn’t really like was the wait time to get the Suya prepared/ready. Mine was billed to be ready in 45 mins but it took longer than anticipated 😫 and I was already itching to eat or have a taste all through those waiting period.

I ordered:
♦️2 large beef/torzo (£10 for each) - £20

♦️2 large shaki (£10 for each) - £20

♦️1 pack of Kilishi (£5)

Total: £45

I enjoyed every bit of it and amazingly it was more than bountiful as it was too much to finish at a sitting 🙈😝. (This was my first time visiting else I could have opted for the medium sized beef/torzo and shaki with each costing £8).

Oh yeah lest I forgot, ofcourse the Suya went down with Garri...my favourite combo 😁

So what’s the best combo that goes with Suya whenever you're having one???

I honestly don’t know how this place is still open ! Customer service is none existent and the staff and owner are so rude. They take more orders than they can handle which leaves you waiting for ages. Definitely never going back, they need to learn some peoples skills.

At this point it’s a routine I love there beef to i suya I have to get it everyday

Good place for suya and has a traditional look and feel.

Suya was prefect love the taste and very lovely people.
Thanks 😊

Chishuru

I'm new to West African cuisine and this was a really great experience! The set menu is £48 for 5 dishes which I thought was reasonable given the food portions. My favourites were the corn bites with scotch bonnet sauce, the hand dived scallop, the cornish hake and the chicken thigh. All the dishes had a different flavour and good spice kick too. The hibiscus sour was tasty, although on the smaller side. Staff had good chat and were helpful!

We had a great time! The corn bites with scotch bonnet sauce was a highlight for me. We really enjoyed the savoury dishes but weren't completely sold on the dessert. All in all though the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and we really enjoyed the meal

I wanted to try this place for so long and I’m glad I did as it is an interesting experience. However I don’t think the food and atmosphere justified what we paid. I know the restaurant scene in London and for £45-48 you can get a little more. The menu lacked a showstopper and the dessert was disappointing. Our favourite dish was the cabbage with peanut and plantain sauce. Staff is lovely, but I would not be back.

Was very much looking forward to this meal and heard a lot of good things about the spot.

Was the first time trying Nigerian food.

It is a set menu. Which comes with starters (you don’t get to choose) and a choice of 4 main courses.

The starters were mixed. The salad was super small. One would expect a large bowl of salad rather than a super small plate.

The goat cigar was very good and was the best starter offered.

For mains we chose the fish, chicken and courgette.

All dishes were super small.

The fish was nice and sauce was tasty. But small in size.

The chicken was 3 small pieces. Expected half a chicken at the price you pay

The desert was decent - the guava sorbet was nice.

Honestly I don’t get the hype of Chishuru. It was overpriced (£48 each) and the dishes were small. For Brixton I expect to get more for your money. This is what you would pay for a top end restaurant in Central London.

Great dinner spot for a tasting menu that won't completely drain your bank account. For £48pp, you get a 5 course tasting menu that surprises you with each plate. I tend to eat a lot of meat based dishes and not so much vegetables, but their presentation of vegetables made me want seconds of those dishes instead.

For mains, you get the option to choose. I highly suggest the chicken. It's soft, full of flavor, and a great portion size.

You can also add two extras - the bavette and the whole quail. The bavette was great, but the whole quail was probably my favorite.

Don't forget to try their homemade hibiscus juice - also a favorite.

The only thing I would not suggest doing is going to the toilet. They use a communal one that was dirtier than ones I've used in Vietnam.

Chuku's

I've been looking forward to eating at Chuku's since they opened, so it's great they've now reopened! We had high expectations that were totally met by delicious food. There was outstanding, friendly customer service from all of the members of the team we interacted with. 

Importantly, their new COVID safety precautions made us feel comfortable and looked after.

We were really excited to try thus place, and were not disappointed. Each dish was delicious, staff were super friendly and ambience was great. But we have large appetites and each dish is super small, so our meal ended up being rather expensive by the time you’ve ordered 4 dishes each and a drink....

Really friendly and welcoming atmosphere, highly recommend their chicken wings and meatball, delicious tapas which you know it's been made with passion. Tried my first palm wine in UK - we call it Toddy where I'm from, so it was real nice to be able to drink something so similar in Malaysia! Both palm wine and chapman are so refreshing, perfect summer drinks.

Make it make sense how Chukus has not been on the scene and in our lives sooner? Everything about the concept and menu is explosive and trend setting for African cuisine. It's an infusion we didn't know we needed but will blow your minds and taste buds. Service is second to none and the ambience unique. Firm faves personally are the Ayemase beef and the bbq gizzard!! I'm not a dessert person but the chin chin cheesecake... I will say no more! Just go try!!

Absolutely amazing experience! The staff were all so lovely and the food was delicious - so much variety and love the tapas-style because it means you can try a bit of everything. Every dish was incredible but the chicken wings, prawns and Egusi bowl were out of this world. Would 100% recommend!
