Demi’s Restaurant is a Nigerian restaurant and bar at 89 Cricklewood Broadway in Cricklewood. Its cooking draws on recipes and flavours from across Nigeria, serving substantial food for lunch, dinner and late evening gatherings. The dining room also hosts live Afrobeats sessions, giving weekend meals a lively social character that reflects the restaurant’s emphasis on food, music and celebration.
Starters introduce the menu through pepper soup, spicy chopped beef, turkey, ponmo, gizzdodo and stewed goat meat. Suya brings fragrant spice to beef, chicken or lamb, while asun combines grilled goat with onions and pepper. A larger starter platter adds spring rolls, samosas, fried plantain and chicken wings, making it particularly useful for a group sharing the first part of a meal.
Rice dishes include smoky jollof with fried plantain, vegetable fried rice, white rice and rice with beans. Guests can add chicken, goat, fish or assorted meat to create a more filling plate. Egusi, eforiro, banga, oha, edikang ikong, okra and ogbono soups can be paired with traditional swallows such as pounded yam, amala, eba or semolina.
Grilled tilapia and croaker are served with plantain or fried yam, while yam porridge with fresh fish offers a comforting house speciality. Fried plantain, beans, yam and rice provide useful sides for building a varied order. Chapman, palm wine, cocktails, mocktails and soft drinks complete a menu equally suited to an individual Nigerian meal or a generous table shared with friends.
