Experience a captivating journey of flavors and cultures at 42 Holborn, where the menu stands as a tribute to the remarkable culinary diversity of the Mediterranean.

Chishuru
One of my favorite West African restaurants, Chishuru, sloded their Brixton restaurant since October of last year. However, it’s all set to reopen next month in a new location in Fitzrovia, boasting a seating capacity for 54 diners. The restaurant will once again offer its renowned set menus for both lunch (£35) and dinner (£65).
Even food critics like Jay Rayner and Jimi Famurewa have reviewed the restaurant, and personally, I adore Head Chef Adejoke Bakare’s dishes. I can hardly wait to savor the spiced sauces and squash puree all over again.
