Shoknan African Restaurant and Bar

You walk past Regent Street all the time, but Shoknan's the kind of place that makes you stop. It's warm inside, genuinely welcoming, and the kitchen knows what it's doing—no shortcuts, no fusion confusion. The reviews speak for themselves: nearly five stars from people who've clearly eaten here more than once. You get the sense the owners care about getting things right, from sourcing to plating. It's not fancy, but it doesn't need to be. This is proper food cooked with respect.
