The team from Akoko are behind this appealing restaurant tucked underneath the arches in Borough Yards. An akara is a black-eyed pea fritter commonly found in West African and Brazilian cuisine, which gives a clue as to the influences found on the concise menu. Sharp execution and careful balancing of flavours runs throughout, with the signature akara a must to begin with. Some of the friendliest service around adds to the wonderfully warm experience.
