Sybarite Reviews: Bisushima
You are lucky if you are able to find a quiet corner in Covent Garden.
Constantly buzzing with tourists, Londoners and nightlife alike, the best place to find some peace is by going upwards - onto a rooftop to be precise. The Sybarite team is always keeping their eyes out for the latest hidden rooftop in the most bustling parts of the city, and it is an extra bonus when they come with exceptional food. Bisushima, Shima for sanctuary and Bisu for party, is the perfect spot to...

Our Lifestyle Expert Speaks with Chef Selin Kiazim
16th December 2021
Her Shoreditch restaurant Oklava is a local favourite, with guests gathering around to devour her Turkish-Cypriot dishes fresh from the wood grill and stone oven. I’ve dined at Oklava multiple times and am always in awe at the layers of flavours and textures in Kiazim’s food. “I come from a food-loving—and food-sharing—background anyway; big family barbecues with tons of food are the mainstays of Turkish-Cypriot Sundays. I started cooking early on too—by the age of about 13, I was throwing dinner parties for friends, making my parents leave the house or the kitchen for the night. I would spend weeks preparing for these dinners, watching all the cooking programmes I could find and making notes on how to make old school things like crepe soufflés,” she shares. However, Kiazim didn’t automatically think about a career in hospitality and started off doing an Art foundation course. She soon realised her passions lay elsewhere and she got over her fear of the stereotypical chef’s life with long hours and aggressive bosses and found her calling in catering college.
Review of Akwaaba Akoko – welcoming a true taste of West Africa in...
8th December 2021
Ikoyi’s West African influences warmed our hearts, but we were yet to find a restaurant that fully celebrated all of the amazing ingredients, spices and simple joy that West African cuisine brings. With strong ties to Ghana, we have high expectations, and although we understand that these are hard to meet off the continent, the search never truly stopped. Enter, Akoko. Akoko offers West African cuisine, reimagined. Located on Berners Street in Fitzrovia, the open kitchen welcomes you in with a buzzing kitchen staff and the delicious smells transport you straight to the bustling streets of Accra/ Lagos. Opened by British Nigerian Aji Akokomi last year (a year later than planned, thanks to Covid), Akoko has gone from strength to strength. Opening initially with Masterchef’s William Chilila, world renowned chef Theo Clench joined the Akoko family permanently as head chef this summer. Akokomi’s aim was to merge art and food, and the restaurant is an exemplary example of how the two mediums can work so well together. With artists from all over the continent, including Niyi Olagunju and Rahman Akar, the earthy wooden tones, yet contemporary setting, creates the perfect backdrop for the delicious bite-size food flying around the restaurant.
