Spinach & Agushi: Authentic Ghanaian Flavours in Exmouth Market
Nestled in the vibrant Exmouth Market, Spinach & Agushi brings the rich, bold flavours of Ghana to central London. This beloved West African street food vendor has established itself as a culinary gem in Clerkenwell, offering authentic Ghanaian dishes that transport diners to the bustling streets of Accra.
Signature Dishes Worth Trying
The restaurant's commitment to authenticity shines through in their standout jollof rice - frequently mentioned in reviews as "amazing" and a must-try for first-time visitors. Their groundnut stew (peanut-based) receives consistent praise for its rich, nutty flavour and tender chicken. No visit would be complete without sampling their plantains, which many customers describe as "addictive" with their perfect balance of caramelised exterior and soft, sweet interior.
Atmosphere and Experience
Spinach & Agushi offers a casual, welcoming environment typical of authentic street food vendors. The stall's popularity is evident from the queues that often form during lunch hours, with office workers and locals alike drawn by the aromatic spices and generous portions. At just £3-7.50 per meal, it represents excellent value for money in central London.
Location and Accessibility
Conveniently located in Exmouth Market, the restaurant is easily accessible from Farringdon and Angel stations. Its weekday lunch hours (11:30am-2:30pm) make it perfect for a midday culinary adventure, though early arrival is recommended as their limited daily quantities often sell out.
Whether you're a seasoned explorer of West African cuisine or a curious novice, Spinach & Agushi delivers an unforgettable gastronomic voyage that celebrates traditional Ghanaian recipes while embracing its London setting.
