Chishuru London Restaurant Review: Exciting West African Cuisine by Michelin-Starred Chef

Adejoké Bakare made history as the first black female chef in the UK to win a Michelin star at Chishuru in London. The head chef, Christine Walsh, brings her expertise from Ireland. The restaurant offers a modern take on West African cuisine, blending Yoruba heat, Igbo spice, and Hausa fire-cooking. The tasting menu showcases unique dishes like Abàchà and Ṃóínṃóín, with a focus on texture and flavor. The wine list complements the spicy dishes, and the pepper soup and main courses like monkfish and hogget are highlights. Dessert features egúsí ice cream and meringue sponge. Chishuru's approach to modern West African cuisine is personal and disciplined, offering a lean and narratively sharp dining experience. The verdict: The most exciting food in years.
