Chishuru Brixton

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.
