The Calabash Restaurant &bar

I have been to this restaurant a few times, this is the first time sitting in. Calabash serve numerous dishes from west African countries. The starters are expensive, Turkey tail £7. The main dish potato leaves from Sierra Leone was delicious. I also got the natural ginger juice delicious! Our waiter was nice, be expected to wait 30 mins for the main food. Aside from this I recommend.

Such a great restaurant. The food was so fresh and came out immediately it was prepared so everything was nice and hot. Our server was very attentive as well. My favorite items on the menu were the jumbo spicy wings with a side of fried yam and plantain. The rice akara was also interesting (kind of a cross between plantain mosa and puff puff) so I’d recommend that too.

I went my own for dinner, wasn't sure where to eat and whilst walking to check if Tesco was open, I came across The Calabash, and instinct walked me in on the look out for a fish or vegetarian dinner. Wow!! I order the Fried fish with deep cut chips & salad, wow just wow! That fish was huuuuuge! Like a Mummy of a Mummy!lol As I said, finally I ate a real big fish, that tasted lovely & had to order another round of extra sauce, as was soooo delicious, I put everything into it, fish, chips, salad, all on the go! :) The magic comes from the Master Chef Ladies, with the magic hands & lovely smile, and fresh ingriedents, felt like was Mamma cooking super tasty dinner, and felt cosy and homely. The boys making sure everything is good, and you all happy, satisfy & taking care of, it made the end of my weekend just perfect! I couldn't have asked for more. Superb experience, and if you haven't been to The Calabash yet, I can tell you...you missing out! :)

My partner and I went for dinner, he had cassava leaf stew with plain rice and it was sublime. Myself had jollof rice with fry fish….. did I mention we had pepper soup with cassava and that for me was a PLUS it was sooo good. Bankie customer service was amazing too. Be sure to have a visit and indulge in the Sierra Leone cuisine.

Excellent blend of West African cuisine, particularly those looking to try Sierra Leonean, Nigerian, Ivorian and Ghanaian dishes in London. 🇸🇱🇳🇬🇮🇪🇬🇭 Mr Jones and the Calabash team are very friendly, hospitable and polite hosts who definitely take care of you whatever the occasion.😃👌🏽💯 Clean, comfy seating space, well-conditioned and within close proximity of both Greenwich's archaic sites and the 02 arena. Great prices and value for food dishes - celebrated my Mum's birthday dinner outing there and did not regret at all! Highly recommended!😋
