805 - Southwark

We were recommended to try 805 by a Nigerian individual, but unfortunately, our high expectations were quickly dashed. The corn on the cob we ordered was tasty but lacking in salt. We had to repeatedly ask for cutlery and glasses as they were forgotten. Our jollof rice with beef was overcooked and tough, with the beef appearing black in color. The goat meat version was passable but had an excess amount of bones and was chewy. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your time and money - avoid at all costs.

My group and I recently visited this restaurant and we all really enjoyed the food. It had been a while since our last visit, so it was nice to see that the quality of the food had not decreased. I ordered the tilapia with plantain, and it was cooked perfectly. Some of my friends opted for it with yam instead. The staff was very friendly, although they were quite busy so it took a bit of time before they were able to take our orders. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning soon.

This was the worst experience I have ever had. I was given 2 pieces of bone as chicken, along with freezing cold and burnt rice. When I complained to the manager, he told me I would have to drive an hour back to exchange the food. He claimed this was the normal process and that I would have to do the same at any other shop (manager named Ray). This behavior was disgusting and I will never dine here again or recommend it to anyone. Charging me £42 for 2 portions of rice, chicken, and moi moi is outrageous. The restaurant should be ashamed, as they are nothing but thieves.

Ordered a take away which included fried yam. Went to pick up and asked the waiter to check if the fried yam was included, she confirmed it was without checking despite twice asking and telling her because I lived far from the restaurant. Rather she told me it was sealed in a contained which had been wrapped with cling film. Got home no fried yam. Called to complained and they asked that I come back to collect the fried yam. Considering the price of fuel and where I lived it was not worth it. Felt the way they dealt with complaint was very poor. They should have offered a goodwill gesture to make it worth my while to travel. Also found I had paid nearly £20 for king prawns to only get 3! I would avoid restaurant.

Terrible place , don’t go . They spit in your food and when you’re not looking they take money from your card . Avoid at all cost
