Plantain Kelewele
Fried plantains tossed with fresh thyme, cinnamon and chilli flakes, served with an addictive spicy aioli dipping sauce
Party Jollof
Smoky, spicy paella-style rice cooked in a sofrito base spiked with African aromatics like fragrant lemongrass, umami-rich smoked crayfish and dawadawa (fermented locust beans), that adds a deep, earthy, almost chocolaty note. Served with a cool cabbage, carrot & fennel slaw in a creamy & tangy dressing topped with sesame seeds.
O.G. Ayilata Chicken
Chef Victor’s signature take on “peppered” chicken, a West African favourite, has whole split chickens marinated for 48h in citrus, ginger and cloves before roasting.

Caramelized pineapple tops golden pound cake infused with a captivating hint of orange blossom.

Afrobeat Kitchen is Chef Victor Uguweke’s exciting new private chef/catering project. It is a mash-up of authentic recipes, ingredients from the motherland, diaspora dishes and global ideas that come together to reimagine a Modern African cuisine. Dancing in the kitchen is how he gets extra ‘faaji’ (the pleasure from having a good time) in all his food. As a family cook & dad of two, his menus are also kid-tested for adventurous eaters.
