Nigerian Restaurants in London
-----------------------------------------


Guys, lets see if we can get together a constructive list of Nigerian Restuarnts/take away joints in London,
Let me start.

Presidential Suya Spot- Old Kent Road
- large portions
- good choice of soups
- closest suya I have had to the home stuff but quite expensive
- only downside is that I've had food poisinging twice from here


D'Den -Kilburn High Street
- Most go there to hang out with friends rather than for the food but
- had the fish pepper soup from there which was wonderful
- small but nice


Oasis- Cricklewood Broadway
- Also do food from Ghana


4-t-4 - 44 Camberwell Grove
- very nice staff
- clean place
- I find their soups quite oily and portions small
- good for fast/cheap food

CANNAN- Walworth Road
- First time last night
- £10 for Edking Kinkong with pounded yam
- new place so fresh and clean
- they are from Calabar so specialise in their foods



Obalande Suya Spot - Peckham High Road
- I think their attempt at suya is really awful
- great Moi moi though

Hi guys,
just wondering where everyone buys their snails from in London.
Where do you get them from and how much are they,
thanks

Hi guys,
I am an igbo girl living in LDN, I cook a lot of Nij food but I have been wondering what iru is and what its used for,
I read on the net that its some kind of fermented locust bean, but i often see it added to soups etc.
Can you tell me what its used for and what it adds to the food,

(second question.,. is there anywhere i can buy snails for cheaply in London?)
thanks
