This was so good. Got the chicken with spuds (£11) and the jollof with veg (£6.50). Big on big flavours, lots of garlic, ginger, and other stuff I can't put my finger on. Fed 2 with delicious leftovers.

No seating at the Saturday Forest Gate location so we took it home. He's in Stratford during the week (I think at that outdoor market on Broadway).

  2. Ok, just because this has happened in London, how’s this relevant to /r/london ?

  7. I actually like the plates… great looking food as well 😉

  10. Genuinely have no idea what’s wrong about the plating, would smash that if it was handed to me.

    ooh might have to try and get there and back on a lunch break. Think I could make it there in 10 minutes. Not sure why I haven’t realised that street market is an option for me before (possibly because it’s a bit awkward to get there as I have to cross things like the river / canal / rail lines a few times) but I feel inspired to try now.

  12. Had Dembo’s amazing rotisserie chicken three times now, it is delicious. Make sure to get there early as he often sells out, no surprises as to why.

    Can get some more awesome rotisserie chicken in Finsbury Park too, if ever down that way.

  14. had a set of these plates when i was growing up:,) got me all nostalgic

  15. I walk past this often. A while back I looked up the food hygiene rating and it wasn’t great (rating of 2), which put me off. But looking at the pictures, I am tempted.

  16. I’ma have to try that, as I’m a 5 min walk away from FG station

  17. Thanks for sharing! I wanted to try this a year ago but it appeared it had closed down. Nice to see he’s back at Forest Gate, shall try it next week.

    Can I just ask, where exactly is the stall in Forest Gate?

  19. This is round the corner from me and still haven’t tried it. For shame. Will try this week
