Dining at Farin Road was such a refreshing experience….. This gem is tucked away at the famous Tani Modi brunch house on Hanover Street and is open on specific days of the week – so you must book in advance to make sure you get fed. On arrival, Abi surprised us with a great hummus and olive on a chapati crisp amuse-bouche. This crisp was loaded with roasted seeds and a single fresh coriander leaf; which looked like garnish at first, until I had a bite of it and realised that it was a very intentional placement as it delivered a fresh punch which clearly opened up my senses in preparation for the feast. We moved on to the Eja Dindin (whitebait) and Goat Haggis for our starters. My haggis was served with a side of fresh salad and mayo and the fresh Eja Dindin was served with a lemon wedge on mayo. I had Boli for my main - which was a vegetarian feast of fried plantain, lentil dahl and a samosa, my friend had the jerk chicken breast with jollof. We never made it to dessert thanks to generous portions….. Let’s just say that I am not complaining. In lieu of dessert, Abi presented an amazing smooth rum which was the perfect cherry to the proverbial cake. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Farin Road’s vision is very evident in their fusion and presentation….. The food is perfectly tailored to look great and still deliver a flavour punch - the perfect introduction to Pan-African dining. They also showcase their Atarodo range of chilli oil, chutneys and sauces with their food – so it was great knowing that I can bag them for the pantry 😉 I will be back!

Overall excellent experience, the friendly staff made us feel so welcomed. Ambiance is chilled and relaxed, and when it comes to the food WOW! The oxtail burger was delicious as well as the Hummus ! I'll definitely be back for more. Thank you
