Biazo

Went to Biazo on Fathers day with my family I must say the reviewer who gave a 1* must have gone to another restaurant and should be ashamed of writing in such way about the restaurant as the review almost made me change my mind about the restaurant but I'm glad I went. When you write a rewiew try and make it constructive to help other people. It was the first time we tried African food, I took my wife and two boys and we all loved the food. Atmosphere was excellent and vibrant. The waiter guided us through our choice and I was well pleased with the service though they could do with more waiters. Loved the Quiet Storm Cocktail a must try. I don't write reviews but I felt the comment made by the previous review was too hash. Will definitely spread the word and be back. It was a different experience.

I went to Biazo on Valentines Day with my Partner we wanted to try something different. It was well busy as you would expect for a day like this. We booked in advance to ensure we had a table. We were welcomed and ushered to our table. My first visit to an African restaurant, the ambience was absolutely lovely. The Bamboo with the integrated rope lights, the candle lit table made it all very romantic. The lights were about the right level. We were also giving a free glass of non-alcoholic red wine which was a surprise and a really nice gesture by the management. The menu was a set one for this day and I opted for the Pounded yam with spinach and my partner had the whole grilled fish. For starters we had gizzard and plantain which was absolutely delicious. My partner loved the fish and plantain. The pounded yam was really nice tasted almost like a more solid version of mashed potato. On its own it taste a bit bland but with the spicy efo as they call it with was like a match made in heaven. The vegetable dish was very tasty. I had assorted meat as well cooked in some sort of slightly spicy tomato stew, the meat was soft and succulent, the whole combination really worked well for me I really enjoyed the experience so did my partner. There was a delay in the service which for a busy night was expected but the food made up for it. I will gladly go back again. also see my review on time out

I went to Biazo last night to dine with a couple of friends. I was very impressd with the decor of the restaurant. It was very nice and had an excellent ambience - relaxing and romantic. The food was very tasty. Being a Nigerian myself, i find it hard eating outside opf home because I always think the food is never as good as what I cook at home. But Biazo proved me wrong. My friends and I ordered a variety including jollof rice, poundd yam, fried yam and asaro. They were all excellent and tasty . The grilled fish (a whole fish) was the best fish I've ever had -soft and juicy. The size of the fish was also frightening - very big. All in all, my friends and I were very impressed particularly with the fact that with most dishes, you can indicate how spicy you wanted it to be. Therefore my friends that did not like spicy food were also able to enjoy their meal.

Biazo is definitely going on my favourite London restaurants list. For anyone who hasn't tried it or infact, tried african food, it is definitely worth trying...
