Savannah is an East African and Somali restaurant at 105 Uxbridge Road in Shepherd’s Bush. The dining room combines warm hospitality with a lively evening atmosphere, and regular music gives the venue a social character suited to group dinners and celebrations as well as an everyday meal.
Slow cooked meat, aromatic rice and carefully layered spice are central to the food. Lamb shoulder and chicken suqaar show the Somali side of the menu, while dishes such as Digaag Savannah pair chicken with mushroom sauce and mashed potato for a house interpretation with broader influences.
Seafood and pasta add further choice through pan fried salmon and king prawn linguine, and diners can balance richer dishes with salads and vegetable sides. Generous portions encourage sharing, while chilli sauces and chutneys allow extra heat to be added at the table.
The lounge bar serves coffee, mocktails and other alcohol free drinks alongside the meal. Reservations are available for brunch, lunch and dinner, and private dining, events and delivery extend the restaurant beyond its main room on Uxbridge Road.
Address: 105 Uxbridge Road, Shepherd's Bush, London W12 8NL, England
