Best Nigerian Shawarma & Small Chops near Southwark

I’m Chef Tayo, a Nigerian family man with a passion for cooking that spans over two decades. My love for food started early, inspired by my mother – a dedicated food vendor who cooked for schools with unwavering passion.

As a young boy, I watched her wake up at 5 AM to prepare meals, her joy and dedication igniting a fire within me. I knew then that food wasn’t just about nourishment; it was about connection, culture, and love.

My journey began in the bustling streets of Lagos, selling shawarma and small chops in small shops and working alongside event planners. Every experience sharpened my skills and fueled my ambition to take Nigerian cuisine to the world.

A defining moment came when I moved to the United Kingdom, where I continued to refine my craft and introduce a new audience to the rich flavors of Nigerian food. Today, I’m proud to share my dishes with people from all walks of life, bringing warmth and joy to every plate.
