Next week sees the launch of Akara, the next restaurant from Akoko’s Aji Akokomi. Joining Barrafina, Bancone and Vinoteca in Borough Yards, the restaurant is named after the black-eye bean fritter which has roots in West Africa – and will feature on the menu. More casual than Akoko, the 40-cover restaurant will champion traditional flavours of the region. The à la carte menu will offer a variety of akaras with fillings such as chanterelle mushroom pâté, carabinero prawns, and vatapa, a sauce made with bread, shrimp and coconut milk. Meanwhile, mains will comprise a selection of barbecued meat, fish and vegetable plates such as aged beef with labu (a paste made from peanuts) and sea bream with nokoss, a Senegalese pepper paste.
