A contemporary dining experience inspired by the food and culture of Africa.

The restaurant - named after the Zulu word meaning ‘bring the light’ - has been described as a love letter to West African cuisine and the owners Nigerian heritage. Tucked down a side street behind the Bulgari Hotel, the space channels the vibrant colour palette of Africa alongside that of a neighbourhood restaurant. The ground floor restaurant provides a more refined, fine dining experience, whereas the 1st floor and roof terrace offer a more relaxed menu. 

The restaurant is headed up by Victor Okunowo - a Nigerian born Londoner who was previously a semi-finalist on BBC MasterChef The Professionals in 2020 and has worked at a variety of London restaurants including The Wolseley and Chiltern Firehouse. The menu sets out to reflect the traditions, ingredients, and vibrant culture of West Africa - with dishes such as mackerel, iru, apple & celery tartlet and Jollof rice with grilled broccoli & fermented scotch bonnet.
