The best restaurants serving African food in Woodside Croydon London

I went here yoday and was highly disappointed. I drove 45 mins to get here for the fried snapper I have always come for. The fish tasted stale. It was nowhere near fresh. It was rubbery with a distinct after taste. When I took the garnish off and saw the scales, I couldn't eat another bite. What happened? I know it closed for a while but this is ridiculous. I've never seen it this empty on a Friday night. Since they served our food, they haven't come back to the table, are they avoiding us????
