Mama Calabar in London is no fluke. De food justifies de name of this restaurant. Several Nigerian varieties & delights to choose from. All delicious & served fresh & steaming hot. Even local side chops like poof poof, chin chin, etc available. Located in a quiet neighbourhood, Hendon. Just about 250 metres to de train station. Furthermore, haven't seen a neater & well set up restaurant in recent times. Everything sparkling & in order (including de convenience. U can also peep into de kitchen & withness de same cleanliness & organisation. Chilled Nigerian lager present. Limited outdoor seating is available, especially for de revellers. Guess u know wat I mean!
The food was wholesome. But the decor is a little dated and atmosphere flat for a Saturday.

So, this is my 1st Time in many years going to Mama Calabar.
I forgot to ask his name Front of house gentleman not sure if it was the owner was super nice, polite and welcoming. I took particular notice because most times when you go to African restaurants Customer service and been warm to customers is not a priority .He even helped with charging my phone and headphones and would even bring my phone when it rang like 5 x🤣
Restaurant was clean and air-conditioned so that was nice.
So food prep wait time wasn't long which is good
I ordered White rice egusi and fish and a bottled water i had puff puff as an appetizer dont judge me I was ravenous when I arrived and I did Suya takeaway as well. I ate the Suya layer in the evening and I think its worth the £13 Total of my food came up to 45.50
only reason I didn't give 5* is because the sauces is a bit on the steep side and the quantity the plain egusi is 7 pounds and the fish 15!! now if it were a whole fish I would understand.Mine came with 2 slices of fish I was too hungry to remember to take pictures.. In this Cost of living Crisis I feel customers should get more fish definitely..puff puff as well at 3.50 for 5 tiny balls.
I will definitely come again!!
