Je African Grill Restaurant London (by Phoebe Ferris-Rotman)

There aren’t many authentic African restaurants north of the Thames but Je African Grill is a Nigerian delight in Kilburn. The interior is basic. It’s sparsely decorated, but this place is not about the atmosphere, it’s all about the food.

When the term ‘African food’ is used, it’s hard to imagine what it could be as the continent is vast and Moroccan food is nothing like Mozambican. But Je African Grill focuses on Nigerian food, though many of their dishes span much of sub-Saharan Africa.

The flavours are very unusual but extremely tasty. They specialise in grilled meat and fish such as Samaki wa Kupaka, char grilled whole fish with a hint of tamarind and coconut milk and char grilled chicken in piri-piri sauce. For vegetarians there are delicious grilled plantains or tomato and chili stew. Sides include Amala and Eba, roast yam and cassava flour mash. The food is very reasonably priced as well.
