805 Restaurants Old Kent Road is the original London home of a family run group founded in 2001. Its cooking celebrates Nigerian and wider West African food through recipes passed down through generations, generous portions and a strong tradition of welcoming unexpected guests to share the table.
Appetisers introduce bold flavours through beef, chicken and lamb suya, pepper soup, nkwobi, spicy snails, grilled corn and roasted plantain. Meat, seafood, herbs, chilli and traditional spice blends create dishes that range from smoky and nutty to deeply savoury.
Jollof, coconut, fried and white rice can be paired with chicken, beef, fish, goat or oxtail. Pounded yam, amala and other staples accompany regional soups such as egusi, ogbono, eforiro and edikanikong, allowing diners to build a meal around familiar Nigerian combinations.
The signature Monika dish serves whole grilled croaker or tilapia in a chilli sauce, while tiger prawns and flame grilled lamb chops expand the grill selection. Daily service, takeaway ordering and a spacious setting make the Old Kent Road restaurant suitable for both individual meals and abundant group dining.
