Zoe's Ghana Kitchen in Lambeth

¡GUAUU! ¡La comida, la compañía y el ambiente de Zoe en general me dejaron boquiabierto! Platos absolutamente detallados (pero no intimidantes), pequeños y grandes, bien pensados, creativos, de origen sostenible y deliciosos. Probé y aprendí sobre egusi (semillas de calabaza molidas), huevos de huerta (berenjenas redondas y dulces), frijoles bambara (como un garbanzo más carnoso) y muchos otros ingredientes. Los platos que probé tenían un buen nivel de picante (ajustable) que, para un malayo, es bastante clave. Memorable fueron los canapés de filete de tiras rellenos de plátano y mayonesa de cocodrilo, panza de cerdo glaseada y, de postre, chocolate blanco con panacotta de coco tostado encima de - OMG - nkatse con corteza de chocolate especiado. Otro comensal lo llamó "pastel de crack" y sí, ¡pedimos segundos y tercios! ¡MUY RECOMENDABLE! Echa un vistazo a los clubes de cena y entra en esa lista de espera lo antes posible.

Comí en la última noche de Zoe y ¡qué lugar tan fantástico! La comida era excepcional, pero también me impresionó mucho el servicio. La joven Natalie que nos atendió fue muy atenta y genuina. ¡Si yo fuera dueño de un restaurante la emplearía! La comida estuvo totalmente deliciosa.

La cocina emergente de Zoe era simplemente horrible. La única comida que queda a las 8. 15 hs de jolly arroz sin sabor. El estofado rojo rojo estaba pegado a la sartén. El llamado cocinero era pobre.

The pop up was in East London in a very trendy space - loved the atmosphere and the service itself was excellent. Unfortunately, the food was in no way authentic Ghanian cuisine. The rice lacked flavour; the stew was the same and didn't taste Ghanian in the slightest and I was very disappointed. If you want authentic Ghanian food - don't go here.

El hecho de que mi compañero dudosa disfrutamos de la comida, es testimonio de lo sabroso que era. Natalie fue una anfitriona excelente, al parecer, el llenado de su hermana Zoe, la cocina fue literalmente atendidos por ella y otro, y lo que nos sirve un festín! Informal, amable y encantador 🙂

We were really happy to finally have the chance to taste what Zoe's doing after many months reading about it, so a few weeks ago we booked a table at the current Zoe's Ghana Kitchen location in Hackney after listening a BBC podcast where she was one of the main guests. It was pretty disappointing. What she's doing is enormous and has an obvious value by itself, however, as a customer, and once you're there, you cannot avoid the feeling of being cheated by media. Been generous, I can say that all standards are very basic, including atmosphere or table service. The good point is, again, what Zoe is doing putting Ghanian food on the map, however, again, once in the table it doesn't feel so different or special as media tries to tell. Maybe is the problem of the current Western culture and our desires for something constantly new (even it that isn't so new or it is quite unmature yet). Food was ok. Not great, not unforgettable, but fine. Many dishes from the menu weren't available (thing that I don't understand because many tables were empty and we booked for dinner at 8pm) and after make our order, we changed it because some of our dishes weren't available. Finally they brought to us a wrong bill. When they brought it by second time, it wasn't our bill. So basically, go for it to pay attention to new trends or just to know more about Ghana, but keep your expectations low.

After all the raving, we expected this place to really impress. It was unfortunately so dry, the whole meal was like eating sand. Because of this, we couldn’t really taste it. It was very expensive for the small portion size. Also, some of the toppings had run out, staff failed to mention this when we paid and only told us when we asked without an apology or an offer for a refund.

Went to their new location in the institute of light (Hackney) and it was great to see again the team which use to operate at Brixton. Friendly and cool service, impeccable food execution, so we couldn’t stop ordering! Massive outside space so keep this place in mind when the sun shows up!

We went to Zoe's Ghana Kitchen at Institute of Light. Great food (try the chicken strips!) and really nice service (shout out to Natalie, who was great). Will definitely come again. Check out institute of light too - it's a hidden gem!

Had a great time at Zoe's Ghana Kitchen pop-up at the Institute of Lights. The peanut sauce is amazing and service from Natalie was super helpful.

Brilliant food, Brilliant service ! Highlight of a flying visit to London. I hope you find your way up to Glasgow some time soon.

After shopping for running shoes with my Darlin on this beautiful, cool day in Savannah we stopped here for lunch. Temps in the low 30s and their Tomato Bisque soup with chicken salad sandwich was right on target. My granddaughter had the soup and side of pasta salad which is loaded with feta. There were too many things on the menu I wanted to try so I will return!

Went there on a Saturday night for a bite to eat after watching a film at the Ritzy. It was quite busy.Service once ordered was prompt. We had grilled lamb chops, Jollof spiced fried chicken , okra friesand jollof rice. I must say, the food had an authentic Ghanaian taste but a lot less greasy, so I was very happy. Prices were low. I was so impressed I ordered a portion of food to take away. For the price , the food was excellent. I hear they’re moving to East London next month, Brixton’s loss.

(I'm not Ghanaian but....) This was disappointing as a Ghanaian resto! Well done for "translating" to a UK audience looking for fashionable fusion food..but I came for flavoursome Red Red & lots of it! To leave full you need to spend 60 quid. We went for pizza after. bit of a shame.

Four of us had a brilliant dinner here - fantastic, tasty and different and quickly and efficiently served. I would highly recommend Zoe's.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food at pop up Brixton - the chicken and lamb was excellent and Natalie made it a...

De lejos, una experiencia positiva no esperes ningún particular entorno de este lugar pero espera excelente comida degustación!

Estoy confundido por los otros comentarios, me marché de cocina de zoe verdad decepcionado y robaron. Que había visto Zoe en brunch el domingo y no podía esperar a verlo.

Fuimos para el almuerzo de hoy y la única cosa más hermosa que Natalie es la comida que ella prepara.

This place has been on my list for a while, considering we enjoyed the food in Ghana last year. Sadly, despite the friendly service and seating flexibility, I would give the food 2.5 if I could. It’s pretty bland, with none of the punch of the food we had in Ghana. We got the plantains with cinnamon and spices- kelewele- and it tasted like it reads. Pleasant enough but none of the richness of the kelewele we had in the country. I got the groundnut and avo salad which was actually pretty tiny and it’s mostly diced onions with guacamole so tasty enough but I only finished half bc didn’t want all the onions. The jollof rice had some flavour but much less toned down than we had before. My husband said the fried chicken, although it is presented nicely, just tasted like basic fried food, with nothing special. He didn’t finish it. The friendly server offered me a taste of the red bean stew which I appreciated bc it was a bit too hot for me; yet, weirdly, it was also bland! So spice but little taste? Anyway, won’t be returning. I would recommend African Kitchen in Islington instead.

Positives: very interesting location in Pop up Brixton;Very friendly and hospitable waitress/chef;Opportunity to try different cuisines; and cool, relaxed vibe. Beautiful woman everywhere I looked. I want to caveat my words below by saying we (the three) had a cracking time in Zoe’s, it’s cool and uncontrolled and the waitress/chef really was fab. We all tipped and agreed it’s places like Zoe’s (and the pop up) what makes London great. I couldn’t in all conscious give a 4* review. My 3* review is weighted entirely by the food and VFM metrics, and I’ve attached no weight to the beauty of the ladies or the thinness of my hair. Less positive: the food wasn’t great. Nothing at all to do with Ghanaian cuisine, it was just the dishes lacked seasoning; depth of flavour and a couple of items were well over-cooked (lamb cutlets and plantain fries). Portion control is slightly miserly and Zoe’s is quite expensive for a pop up. We wish Zoe, her wonderful colleague, and the pop up all the best for the future.

jollof rice wasn't even basmati. tasted like school dinner rice with tomato puree. rip off for the white man. avoid...

I was eyeing up Zoes restaurant since almost a year now, but unfortunately for us her pop-up venture in Brixton is always so full of people so we really had no luck until last week’s London’s African fest where we finally got the chance of tasting her plates. After a 20minute of queue waiting, we finally found ourselves in front of our lunch: A meal bundle for two (around 9 quid for both), comprised of Jollof chicken (delectable with just the right seasoning), Jollof rice (tasty and hot!) and Kelewele. Especially this last one was really out-of-this-world. Bravo Zoe, good job, I hope seeing you again anytime soon.

friday night dinner in this restaurant! the menu is from ghana kitchen - everything is yummy but deep fried and spicy! portions are also very small and drinks a bit expensive! i would reccoment the chicken! very nice

Everything new to us and the cocktail heavenly. Head chef and waitress looked after us and we went home glowing and happy. A little piece of heaven.

I had done a lot of research for my wife’s birthday to make sure I made it a special one. I found Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen on trip advisor and the review sounded amazing.I have been waiting so long to find Ghanaian food and this was such a find! I was not disappointed. This place is incredible. It was a Saturday lunchtime and we were welcomed by a lovely lady who was literally running the lunch shift on her own. Meeting and greeting. Taking orders and then cooking it all herself. You weren’t waiting for you food for long either. From order to plate took 20 mins. Allowing a time to sip beer from Ghana and a beautiful home crafted cocktail.We ordered on recommendation the lamb chop, buttermilk fried chicken, jollof rice and plaintain. Wow! It was everything the reviews had said. Beautiful flavoursome food. Not too heavy. The rice was perfectly cooked, the chicken crispy and light and the lamb chop was great with the peanut sauce. The fried plantain just finished it off perfectly with the crayfish mayo. That was out of this world! You need to try this place guys, you will not be disappointed

Great food, perfectly spiced. And very friendly service. Okra fries and lamb both great. The Nigerian beer wend down well.

The food was good. It was spiced well but order the tilapia at your own risk. We paid 7.50 pounds for it and it was as big as maybe 1 small chicken strip (like those tiny frozen fillets that come individually wrapped at the grocery store). I don't know if it's the American in me that expected more but I was a little offended for my 6 ft husband when we opened our containers and saw the tiniest piece of fish. He was so excited about trying this restaurant. But everything else was pretty good.

Nourriture excellente, bien relevée. Et pas cher..Serveur sympa, Petite assiette sous forme Tapas.À recommander!

We discovered this on trip advisor whilst staying in Brixton and gave it a go, very interesting. There were very few things on the menu but very tasty,probably our best meal of the week - so why only 3 stars?1)Tiny and mostly uncovered,so the weather could be a big issue.2)Price of wine was ridiculous - this was Brixton not Mayfair.3)A practise I hoped to never see again(though I did the very next day!) - automatic service charge and then the suggestion of a tip, this slightly spoilt what had been a very enjoyable evening.

3 hungry men arrived too late fro lunch, too early for dinner, or at least that"s what we thought til we met the lovely welcoming Nathalie who assured us we could eat. We ordered lots and the lovely Nathalie managed to chat to us as she cooked. I felt like I was in my mothers kitchen. Two of us men were Irish and Nathalie's amused us with stories about her Irish Mother, ( Dad from Ghana) and the fun summers spent in Ireland. But back to the food! Nathalie cooked us a feast , Ghana with a twist , is what she said. Everything and I mean everything was delicious....from the best chicken I've ever had to the best lamb I've ever had, Succulent plantain chips, to ocra and rice , avocado groundnut salad , I don't have the descriptive power to explain the spices and seasonings but suffice it to say we fell silent while eating because this was food to be taken seriously. I ate , I overate, I may have moaned, I certainly gave meaningful serious appreciative looks to my fellow diners, I felt sad when the last morsel left the plates, I need to go back, I hope too many people don't find out about this place, I need to get a table every time and the lovely generous warm & welcoming Nathalie needs to cook my food every time. Now I've made myself hungry .....I'm getting the train to Brixton.

I went with a bunch of mates to Zoe's Ghana Kitchen on the recommendation of a friend. 'You gotta order the chicken! Its incredible..' - they told me.. Duly noted. So we ordered said chicken - my friend wasn't wrong. Best fried chicken I've had in a very long time.. And me - I like my chicken! Lamb cutlets - total yumsville. Deed fried okra - I'll never look at okra in the same way again.. salad and rice - all fab. Big shout out to Natalie Ann who took us through the menu and our order - she recommended we try a few starters and mains between us and share.. 24 hours later and I'm still dreaming of that chicken.. Mmmmm! Looking forward to next time...

Amazing food, try the chicken and okra fries. I usually don't go for dessert but the beignets with strawberries and chillies are a must try!Amazing Chef, Thanks Zita!

Based on the stellar reviews here, I tried Zoe's and came away a little disappointed. First, the portions are tapas size, meaning you need to order two starters and a main dish to be full. That'll total at least 15 quid PP Beers are a hefty 6-7, though they offer Star beer which is hard to find outside west Africa.The fried chicken was great: tasty with a crisp, think batter. Very good. However, the fish was bland and so was the rice, nearly redeemed by a slightly spicy sauce.Zoe's is part of Brixton Pop, a food-and-drink spot ("food court" doesn't describe it) made from reconstituted shipping containers. Smart. But there are only a few tables outside and even less room inside that you share with the kitchen. Warning.Service was friendly. However, Zoe's apparently adds a service charge without telling you. My bill added up about 12% higher. Perhaps I didn't see this on the menu, but I wish this were clearer.I have mixed feelings about my meal and am puzzled by some of the other reviews. Based on the cramped surroundings, I feel that the food is overpriced, tapas or not.

Amazing food. What ever your preconceived ideas of what okra is, you need to try theirs...amazingNatalie has amazing energy and made it even more special..and no, I don't knit jumpers out of armpit hair!

Loved the food, had the seafood options as I don't eat meat. But the vibe was super weird. We were the only customers but didn't get a proper hello, the man and woman seemed drunk, very odd. And for £40 for two I would want a bit more service!

Found myself in Brixton for a Glass Animals concert and thought to kill some time visiting Pop Brixton where I found this gem of a spot to eat. Staff were so friendly they sat and ate with me and then showed me some cool local markets to see. I can't promise you'd be getting the city tour, it just so happened to be on the way for one of the staff and I tagged along.The food is fabulous and coupled with the light atmosphere and great staff, you' be mad to give this place a skip and bear in mind, I'm a Ghanaian born and bred! I've been meaning to leave this review since March and my opinion has still not changed. It's Ghana Be Tasty is the place to be.Okay, fangirling over haha

Visited here yesterday after stumbling across it in Pop Brixton. Being half Ghanaian myself and having been to Ghana 12times i was eager to see their take on Ghanaian food... i must say i left very impressed! The jollof was out of this world, the jollof fried chicken was amazing and they even had kelewele and shito! Made me miss ghana. Definitely will be coming back!

The menu is easy to get around with a great with something for everyone. Check out the lamb cutlets, Okra fries and grilled plantain. The staff were welcoming and Natalie was very helpful. Really great customer service the space is small but with these guys running it there was a really exciting buzz.I'll be recommending it to friends and visiting again next week.In a nutshell Food 10, Service 10, Ambience 10 keep it up.Lastly Thank you.

This is a truly great spot in Brixton. The tiny container had space for one cook and one waitress and they handled the Friday night crowd very well! We ordered most the "Light Bites" menu which were all vegan and gluten free... Meat and fish eaters had a great looking mains menu too. The lack of veggie mains really wasn't a problem, as we like meze-type eating. Will definitely be going back!

I came with a couple of friends on Sunday. We travelled across London and due to the crazy traffic we arrived just as they were closing for the afternoon. The lady serving (Alicya) was super nice and still served us up the best table of food I've had in a long time - and I eat often! She was really friendly and chatty and made the visit even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back. My only regret is that I didn't order more! Highly recommend the Jollof spice chicken - you'll come away craving it! 10/10 :)

My husband booked a table for my birthday after we saw about the restaurant on the tv, when we got there the lovely waiter couldn't find our booking but got us a table inside, which we were more than happy with. He was so calm and friendly, even being as busy as he was, he was always so calm and helpful, sadly I didn't get his name but we were there on the 27th May and he was the only waiter. The lovely lady cooking was also so helpful and she really impressed me with how well she did, neither of them ever seemed stressed. The food was so delicious and it was refreshing to try something new. Thank you for a lovely visit. We will be buying the cook book for sure:)

nice place and amazing food and the sounds around and people are on the nice atmosphere. a lot of bars and restaurants around

Lovely staff, especially lucie and Kevin!! Great recommendations and even better food, definitely come here when visiting Brixton ✨✨✨

My BFF and I have visited this small little treasure twice and have received the same welcoming reception! Tim, Kevin and Veronica (I hope that's her name) are great hosts and although we've only had snacks, everything that comes out the kitchen looks and smells delicious. But the real gem is the ambiance and the relaxed atmosphere. After a day at work, I just want to kick off my shoes (not literally) have a drink and laugh. 10/10 Zoe's Ghana!!!!

Went on recommendation and everything lived up to expectation and more. Try the chicken main and okra fries.

We went, due to the Sunday Brunch c4 show, and was a little disappointed we were in the brunch menu time. However, we had a fantastic time with a great selection of food to try. Jeronica and Sioban could not be more helpful or friendly. The food was fabulous and a real different experience. I would definitely recommend this pop up restaurant.

Just enjoyed lunch at Zoe's pop-up in Soho. Have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect (as I didn't know anything about Ghanaian cuisine) but was overwhelmingly & pleasantly surprised.I can really recommend the Jollof spiced chicken & the lamb cutlets, both perfectly seasoned, and take sides of the rice & bean stew. All of it goes even better with some of their spicy shito sauce on the side.All finished off with Puff-Puff Bofrot (cinnamon donuts served with strawberry jam & clotted cream) - delish!

I found the sea freight container upstairs in POP and had misgivings while awaiting my friends.We squeezed inside due to the poor weather. We ordered Chicken, red red ,plantain and Jill off. As the delicious chicken melted in my mouth all reservations subsided .It's a delicious Afro Tapas and highly recommend. A regular traveler to Ghana even I was impressed with the modern twist on African Cuisine. Love IT

Went there for a pre birthday meal. Amazing food - impressed with the modern twist on Ghanaian food! The Ghanaian flavours were great! Will be taking the in-laws.

Everything we ordered was delicious. Just go. You will be glad you did. Particularly recommend the okra fries, the dhal, the lamb cutlets and the incredible fried chicken. Almost everything is gluten-free, too!

We were a group of 10 who came for brunch on Saturday and the food is sensational, with clever twists on Ghanaian classics and the (Nigerian) beers and soft drinks are definitely work trying. Service is friendly and personable and given how busy it gets and how small the kitchen is, this is a remarkably well run restaurant.

Friends and I visited POP Brixton in particular to eat here. Very impressed, there was 8 of us and a very small kitchen managed to feed us! We ordered a variety of brunch items. all were excellent and very well presented and the wine flowed freely. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Not much more to say, will definitely be back.

Had dinner at this Ghananian pop-up/residency at a cool Soho pub - the Sun and Thirteen Cantons. The food exceeded our expectations - really fresh, vibrant and exotic. Our favourites were the Panko fried chicken breast - crispy outside and juicy within and the smokey Talapia.. This pub has a great wine selection; we had the Picpoul which went down really well. The staff were great, inviting and attentive - especially Sara who looked after us. Definitely coming back before they wrap up after the summer.

We visited last night just after the menu was apparently updated. Food was really lovely, we ordered almost the entire menu between us. Standouts for me were the red bean stew starter and the beef main. The service was just amazing, the guy serving was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic about the food and drink (as was the chef), it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Will be back!

Booked a table here for mother's day the Friday before. Got a call from the kitchen at 10:30pm on Saturday night to say there was a trouble with the booking and to come half an hour earlier as the kitchen was closing at 5pm. No obvious reservation sign was on the table when we arrived but luckily there was a table free (not wiped down). I ordered the Red Red stew and honestly it was tasteless and topped with cold underripe plantain. I couldn't finish it. Was really disappointed because TripAdvisor is full of rave reviews for this place. The kitchen was obviously open for later than the man on the phone told me it was going to be, he clearly had plans and wanted to leave work earlier that day. The staff were inattentive, my sister's okra fries came well after the rest of our meals and there was no explanation was given as to why. Just a bit of a let down really.

I can not say enough for how much I love this place. The service was great and the food was wonderful. I lived in Ghana for 2 years and had a lot of experience with the local food. What is great about Zoe's is it takes a lot of the flavours you would find in Ghana and makes it accessible to a wider audience. The woman of the place that night, Natalie, was amazing, friendly, and eager to answer all the questions I had about the food and how the restaurant started. Yes, it is in a slightly confusing location and it can get loud on a night with a band, but the food and staff are worth it. I think if you are looking for an intro version to Ghanian food this is the place to try! I know I will be coming back and bringing my family and friends to visit :)

I lived in Ghana for a year and came to eat here for a reunion with some colleagues I met out there. The whole vibe was just totally fantastic. The drinks and the menu were so authentic and transported me straight back. Also I think I genuinely had one of the nicest breaded chicken I've ever tasted- so, so tender! Absolutely loved it, and although it was rammed it just added to the amazing atmosphere of the place. Massive thank you to Natalie who served 8 of us while it was so busy. We were there for so long chatting to her and were probably incredibly distracting customers!! You were so lovely!! Can't wait to go back and just try everything else on the menu. Absolutely delicious and as a bit of a West African foodie I couldn't recommend more. Thank you again and see you soon! Medase paaaa!

I LOVE this place. Zoe is lovely and thoughtful, and her vegan options are delicious. I'm crazy about the okra fries and jollof rice. The quality is always consistently great. If you're vegan and in Brixton, this is definitely in my top 5 recommendations!

Okay, not really on the Thames, but in Brixxxton! We had the fried chicken and tilapia, both good. Chicken good and crunchy, the tilapia well seasoned. All that accompanied by fried okra, jolloff rice (both must orders) and Nigerian Coca Cola! Oh, and don't forget to have the Ghanaian donut!!!

Have you ever wanted to travel to a country to indulge in the local cuisine, only never having the time or the money to go? Imagine my surprise when I discovered Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen, nestled in a shipping container in London’s Pop Brixton. My taste buds were immediately travelling to West Africa, where I am dying to go. I’ve been longing for the flavors of Ghana, and I’ve finally found them.Wanting to share my gastronomic desires with my significant a good friend, I took him to Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen for a weekday lunch. While the actual dining area is intimate, there’s several spots to sit and eat outside, and since the weather was in our favor, that’s exactly what we did. The service was impeccable, everyone was so warm and inviting, like eating fresh home-cooked meals with your extended family. Definitely the right West African vibe.We shared some hand-cut plantain chips, which had the perfect amount of seasoning. The tapas style main plates are great for sharing, which is exactly why we ordered a few different ones. The Ghana style butterfly prawns were perfectly grilled, the citrusy-spice flavor really tingled my tongue. Zoe’s spiced peanut sauce is exactly the right accompaniment to the savory grilled lamb cutlets, and Zoe’s Jollof Spiced Fried Chicken transported me to Ghana instantly with its spicy heat and tender meat. Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen may be a little restaurant, but the flavors, service, and restaurant design are anything but small. I highly recommend this gem!

the place is super cold, so not recommended for winter time, but what was the most dissapointing was the bill, they charged us for the food we did not eat (small amounts, so we noticed after we left the restaurant) + ridiculous charge of 10% for service which was not worth it.Nice food, but better take away.

We arrived 6pm on a Sunday evening (there was a mix up with their booking system online), however Tim kept the place open for us. Food was delicious, with great service and well priced. Can't thank Tim enough, he ensured our combinations would work well in terms of flavour and great recommendations to enjoy in the cosy sitting.

Food was tasty, the service friendly and the setting cozy. All together recommended for a nice dinner out

The Sheff was really welcoming, he really took the time to make sure our experience at the restaurant was a memorable one, the food was fantastic and the restaurant is in a great location, Easy access from the station. I was not disappointed and I will definitely go again. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great food

This is a beautiful little place in Brixton; I found it because of the extremely inspiring Afro-funk music that came out of the kitchen... and I was not disappointed! Food was even more inspiring and I really enjoyed the whole experience!

My wife and I have been trying African food a lot recently and a quick look at tripadvisor while we are over in London for Xmas threw Zoe's Ghana kitchen to the top. The restaurant is inside the Brixton popup and then up the stairs. Quite easy to miss so keep your eyes peeled. Zoe's sister was there to welcome us and advise on food and the chef was also very friendly. We had the okra fries, felu felu (spelling?) and then a chicken stew, chicken wings (sorry, forget the name) and one other dish. All were excellent and the atmosphere in the popup as a whole was superb. Would really recommend this place for those of you who want to take your African food experience beyond Ethopian/Eritrean, not least as the vibrant popup is a great place for a drink before/after your meal!

If you like hearty food served with hospitality and done with a welcome surprise, this restaurant is hard to beat. I have to give special mention to the chef, Tim aka Kojo, aka Obroni of Brixton, whom made us feel welcome and talked us through the menu in an engaging way.The only downside to this place is that it needs more seats!!!!

Un petit restaurant qui sert des spécialités du Ghana, situé à Pop Brixton , un lieu atypique sorte de marché couvert fait de containers où l'on trouve des boutiques, des restos. Plats excellents, épicés comme il faut, en quantité généreuse (les soupes sont de véritables plats : compter 1 pour 2), le poulet frit enrobé de cacahouètes est délicieux pas gras du tout , tout comme le poisson aux pousses d'épinards. En dessert la chin chin bonafee pie est une tuerie ! La patronne de ce petit restaurant est extrêmement sympathique : elle nous offert gratuitement d'autres spécialités que nous n'avions pas commandées ainsi qu'une boisson ; ) Un lieu que je recommande vivement.

Great food. Really reminded me of my visit to Africa! Definitely recommend and would go again. Five stars!

Having been to Ghana a couple of times I wanted to re-live the food in England. I was not disappointed! We arrived to find that the restaurant was not open but when I said that we had come a longish way especially to eat there the cook opened up for us specially. This sort of service alone deserves 5 stars! We had red red, fufu, peanut stew, fried chicken, okra and plantain and all were delicious. All of the dishes were very similar to what I have had in Ghana. It is incredibly informal in the communal eating space in Brixton. I will be back!

First visit to Zoe's Ghana kitchen did not disappoint! These are great big flavours served up with dedication by a friendly team. The atmosphere on a Saturday night is buzzing and the location in Pop Brixton adds a sense of authenticity and fun. Would this all work as well in a different venue - I'm not sure, but does it work here - hell yeah! The dishes are generous, the prices are fair and you come away feeling like you have been somewhere and done something different without any gimmicks. The open kitchen means you get to chat to your chef - in our case the very lovely Kendrick - and get advice on what to order as well as the origin of your food...and crockery! Support from the equally lovely Lucie and Zita meant that we were never without service with a smile. Absolutely fantastic!

We dropped into this restaurant on a whim having heard some nice comments about it. Some difficulty finding it initially, not realising that it was semi-disguised as an ISO Shipping Container - as were many of the restaurants thereabouts! Initially not sure about the place (coming from the more sedate London suburbs) - however we were immediately made very welcome by the owner, Zoe. A most charming lady of Ghanaian and Irish parentage. The food was served in 'tapas-style' and proportions. We had dishes of beef, chicken, lamb chops, plantain, pancakes - which were exquisitely and delicately flavoured. Although delicately spiced, the palate was never over-whelmed- and the combination of dishes (as recommended by Zoe) were a perfectly balanced and very, very tasty selection. The meal was accompanied by a couple of bottles of Star (Nigerian) larger for myself and two generous glasses of Californian Chardonnay for my partner. This is an absolute little gem of a restaurant. Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Fun atmosphere. Thoroughly recommended....

Fantastic food, drinks and atmosphere. The staff was also really nice and friendly. Would def recommend!!

Heard lots of really great things about this place, but ultimately left really disappointed. Obviously it is essentially a pop up, so cramped seating is to be expected and that wasn't really a problem, but my boyfriends food arrived 10 minutes after mine and that was quite annoying. Additionally, a £40 bill at the end of the night for essentially chicken and rice with a beer and lemonade is pretty awful, our local Jamaican is half the price and much better! Not sure what everyone was really raving about, very average food.

Amazing restaurant Unbelievable vibesCant believe we found itVery drinkable Star lager from NigeriaThe red bean stew with plantain chips was remarkable 'twas like being on holidaySuperb staff

We just went here for Saturday lunch. The food is excellent, very tasty and plenty of it. They suggest you order up to 3 dishes each but that would probably be far too much. As a pop-up it's small - we sat outside but this won't be possible soon and it's tiny inside with only 3 tables. We shared spicy plantain chips, lamb cutlets, fried chicken and jollof rice, it really was all lovely, correctly spiced and perfectly cooked. The avocado we ordered never arrived, it seems they forgot!The problem also seems to be that a lot of advertised dishes were not available - no shito parcels, spicy cashews or prawns and they did not have the beer I would have liked to try either. Also there seems to be just one lady doing all the work and one waiter who kept disappearing! Because all the food arrives randomly as and when it's ready she kept forgetting who had eaten what and kept asking what we were waiting for - perhaps not her fault, she needs some help.We would certainly go again for the delicious food but not if we were in a hurry!

The four of us had the tilapia, red red, jollof rice, plantain chips, deep fried okra and lamb. Every single dish we had was perfectly spiced, fresh, hot and delicious. The plantain chips and the okra in particular were incredible - the okra had a tempura batter with chili and I think nutmeg, and was maybe the best okra I've ever had. The waitress was extremely friendly and accommodating - patient as we took ages to order (it was so difficult to choose!) and as we moved inside from outside. It's a really lovely place and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Bring a few people so you can try everything.

We reserved a table for 3 on a Thursday night and we were seated straightaway and given menus. As there were 3 of us we ordered 5 mains and 2 sides between us and it was the perfect amount. The food appeared when it was ready and was so delicious and fresh. None of us had ever had Ghanaian food before and we would definitely come back. The two staff members were attentive and it was great how the chef brought the food to your table. Highly recommend! Tip: the Banoffee Pie is out of this world.

A small and cozy place inside the Brixton street markets, with traditional Ghanese food that is very tasty (and spicy) and nice service. Don't mistake it for the other place dowstairs (it's the one going up he stairs).

My hubby and I visited here to treat ourselves to lunch one sunny day. We had black bean stew with gari and plantain. It was so delicious and very filling too. Real food for a great price. The palm wine was okay but I've had better brands elsewhere.We were served by a very helpful member of staff who even shared with us how palm wine is made. I recommend this place if ever you are in Brixton. We will certainly visit again

The food and staff were so amazing! We had the best time here with the best chicken, and I cannot wait to go back!

This place is small and so naturally options are limited but the options they do have are lovely! If you're wanting somewhere that's fresh and has a focus on real, fresh and healthy ingredients then this is a great place. I have often popped by and grabbed a cold green juice and a cookie! I once had a chicken stew (something along those lines) and it was full of flavour. I've also ordered online through deliveroo which was handy! I'd definitely recommend this as a place to eat if you're nearby!

Good food - fresh and tasty. Experience ruined by waitress on shift (Sunday afternoon). On arrival, we asked if we could use our taste card, given the taste card app said it was accepted on Sunday's. As expected, the waitress said use of the card would be fine and we proceeded to order. On receiving the bill, the taste card discount had not been applied and we were informed by the same waitress that Taste card was not accepted on Sunday's and the app needed updating. Not only were we charged full price and received little in the way of an apology but she also had the cheek to add a 12.5% service charge to our bill!Shame really, ruined the experience and must also be in contravention to taste card rules? Looks bad on both parties.

We hadn't been to Pop Brixton before, and a sunny day would have been better, but we had a warm welcome, a blanket, and good food, so it was worthwhile getting a bit damp on the way there. There are only 10 seats inside, but lots outside, and you can get your food in a box to take into the other drinking/seating areas too. Recommended.

Having failed to get in over the weekend, a weekday lunch was much rewarded with deliciousness: Lamb chop in spicy peanut sauce, red red beans, butterfly prawns and chicken with shito mayo and plantain. Great beers too. Wanna go again for all the stuff I didn't have.

Vale la pena probarlo, tanto este sitio como los que le rodean.Ubicado en un "mercado de diferentes paradas" con un toque retro, hecho de madera y de las cajas de los camiones.Se crea un ambiente animado y curioso, con todo tipo de gente. En Zoe's son realmente agradebles. Una camarera de París te sirve con simpatía.El ambiente es muy desenfadado y está lleno de personas de Ghana lo que muestra su éxito.

Per la prima volta ho provato la cucina ghanese e sono stato davvero fortunato. Ho assaggiato un piatto fritto misto di platano e pollo impastellato. Porzione abbondante, molto saporito e leggermente piccante. Tornerei volentieri per provare altro!

Came here on Saturday evening with a group of friends and were very very impressed by Ghana's Kitchen. Little spot but awesome food - the chicken was so fresh, hot and delicious. Defo worth a trip.

Great food, amazing chicken :)I recommend the Palm Wine, fresh perfect for a spicy meal :)Nice view over Pop BrixtonWe tried Red Red, tilapia and Jello with fried chicken.

Amazing food, the options, variety of meet and sharing plates are incredible. The lamb main course is the most soft meat ever! Just be cautious with the spicy bites

Service was so warm and extending, the food delightful and drinks, desserts so good. The Carmel chin-chin custard dish soooo good. Order at least 2 main dishes a person (include the cous cous like dish). We'd return often if we lived here.

Excellent food and the staff is always very friendly and welcoming. The fried chicken is incredible and I also especially loved the crispy kale appetiser and the black bean dish. Would recommend to anyone.

We had the fried plantain, red red, avocado and fried Okra. Nicely spiced food, recommend tapas menu if you want to try more dishes as portions are satisfying. Friendly and helpful staff, great location, will return!

Thoroughly delicous small plates with plenty of flavour. Really lovely staff and we got to sample some new dishes to help them build their menu. Cool venue, probably not ideal for big groups.

We had fresh different food; African food with a twist. African food can be heavy for some European tastes but the food here was just right. A mix of flavours and textures. Friendly service and good beer. Highly recommended

Tasty African food (could need a bit more salt or at least some salt on the table) with just the right level of spice. The chicken portion is generous and not spicy so perfect for kids. The beef suya is nice but could be a bit more on the pink side. Overall a great relaxed lunch experience with friendly staff.

We were served by Tim. It's a very practical environment. Friendly staff. Affordable. Convenient parking. It gives you that feel like you eating outdoors but with the rain outside I didn't get a drop on me. Lovely concept. You also get the feel that everything around you was recycled.

Great location for a summer's evening after work! Very yummy fried chicken and loved the shito with the jollof rice! Overall a very enjoyable evening full of Ghanaian food. Will definitely come back to try more of the menu!
