One of the most creative supper clubs I’ve been to 👏🏾. S/o by Chef Glen at for a phenomenal menu.

🍌 Plantain crisps & whipped cannellini bean dip, with a perilla and spring onion gremolata. A great start to the meal - we even had to ask for extra plantain crisps 😂 The dip was light, creamy and paired so well with the plantain.

🍢 Yakitori-style suya chicken, with pickled daikon and lime kewpie mayo. I really enjoyed the subtle suya flavour, and the pickled daikon was a nice addition.

🌽 Grilled corn okonomiyaki ⭐️, with XO sauce and avocado cream. This was the dish I was most excited for because I LOVE corn, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The XO sauce reminded me of Ghanaian sh*to, which worked so well with the avocado cream.

🥤 Apple, cucumber, ginger & lime juice – A refreshing palate cleanser between courses.

🥩 Grilled lamb, with refined ayamase, potato korokke and pickled cabbage. The ayamase was subtle but worked really well, and once again, the pickled vegetables were a standout.

🍫 Dark chocolate mousse, with banana cream, miso caramel and spiced oat crumble. Probably the dish with the least Nigerian influence, but I really enjoyed it - especially as someone who usually avoids banana-flavoured desserts.

Dubai’s G.O.A.T Burger has officially landed in London, and I got to try a good chunk of the menu 👀

Here’s what I thought:
🍔 Burgers
• G.O.A.T Burger – a classic burger with their special G.O.A.T sauce
• Mexican Burger – packs a little kick with chilli cheese, chipotle sauce and pickled jalapeños 🌶️
• Nashville Chicken – fried chicken dipped in Cajun oil 🍯

Honestly, you really can’t go wrong with any of the burgers. They were juicy, moist and had super soft buns, but the Mexican Burger stole the show for me, the flavours in this one were on another level 🤩

🍗 Sides
• Buffalo Wings – Really enjoyed these! I’m not usually a fan of buffalo sauce because I find it a bit overpowering, but this one wasn’t
• Chicken Tenders – Super crispy, but I personally wanted a bit more seasoning
• Fries 🍟 Crispy and tasty. No complaints!

🥤 The Sakura Pink Lemonade was another highlight. So refreshing and easily one of my favourite things I tried.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend checking them out if you’re after a solid smash burger in London 🙌
