Harden's says

After a series of pop-ups, most recently at the Roundhouse, brother and sister team Emeka and Ifeyinwa Frederick opened a permanent Chuku’s in Seven Sister in February 2020, serving up their modern Nigerian tapas, now with drinks and their own brand of "chop-chat-chill".

Emeka and Ifeyinwa Frederick’s vibey three-year-old in Seven Sisters (motto, ‘Chop, chat, chill’) has won a big name for its quirky Nigerian tapas (e.g. jollof quinoa, moi moi, honey suya prawns), fab soundtrack and upbeat service. Whether its recommendation by Diane Abbott is a plus or a minus is hard to call…

“Chop, chat, chill” is the motto at this much-reviewed February 2020 newcomer – a family-owned homage to Nigerian cuisine in an upbeat, pink-walled 35-seater in Seven Sisters (Tottenham). It’s the crowd-funded forever home of brother and sister team Emeka and Ifeyinwa Frederick, serving big-flavoured West African dishes in a tapas format, washed down with gluggable cocktails and an Afrobeats soundtrack.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
