Are you missing the flavours of Sierra Leone? Or are you completely new to the cuisine and would like to try some of the recipes we often talk about? All around the world, West African cuisine doesn’t nearly get as much attention as it deserves, but thankfully things are starting to change – in London at least!
Celebrity chefs like Ayo Adeyemi, founder of Michelin-starred restaurant Akoko, are credited with bringing the flavours of West Africa to the mainstream, and now you’ll find several eateries in town where you can taste the cuisine of many countries – including Sierra Leone!
Here are 4 Sierra Leonean restaurants in London – with many more hopefully coming!
Ibb’s - 6 Arnside St, London SE17 2AP

The Calabash - 135-137 Trafalgar Rd, London SE10 9TX
