Chishuru: Modern West African Tasting Menu in Soho's Heart
In the heart of Soho, Chishuru delivers a remarkable celebration of modern West African cuisine through the confident and creative lens of chef Joké Bakare. A deeply personal expression of heritage, the restaurant evolved from a Brixton pop-up into one of London’s most exciting culinary destinations, now settled in a stylish, minimalist space on Great Titchfield Street. With an emphasis on regional Nigerian flavours reimagined for a contemporary tasting menu, Chishuru’s chef-led kitchen brings bold spice, precision, and story to every plate. Vegetarian options are available, and the dining experience reflects an elegant balance between vibrancy and intimacy — an ideal fit for lovers of casual fine dining in Central London. Critically recognised by the Michelin Guide, which praises Bakare’s “vibrant flavours and excellent balance” across the menu, Chishuru stands as a beacon for refined West African cuisine in the capital (Michelin Guide). Hot Dinners echoes this acclaim, highlighting its “relaxed confidence” and “chef-led charm” (Hot Dinners). With service for both lunch and dinner Monday to Friday, this Soho restaurant has quickly earned a loyal following as a neighbourhood favourite and go-to for an extraordinary tasting menu rooted in authenticity and executed with modern finesse.
