Akara, Borough Yards📍

Yesterday we tried out Akara, in Borough yards. Akara is a blend of Nigerian and Brazilian cuisine. Akara is named after crispy bean fritters, similar to a savoury donut! These ones are a fusion between Nigerian Akara Osu and Brazilian Acarajé. 🇳🇬 🇧🇷

Our favourite out of the two Akara was definitely the beef, it was so delicious and the beef was full of flavours they came with a spicy dip as well which really complimented them.

For mains we had the grilled pork and the sea bream. I didn’t know what to except from the sea bream from seeing it on the menu, but it came in a broth / sauce that was full of flavour and worked really well!! 🦐 The pork portion size is really good, it was tender, and Jonny really enjoyed this!! We paired both of these with the Efik rice which again was the perfect amount for 2 people, it was buttery and full of flavour 🍚

Would definitely recommend it here! The food was amazing and great ambience, lots more I want to try!
