Dining out at Chuku’s is about more than just food. It’s a moment. A full experience. That’s why we invite you to Chop, Chat, Chill. But what exactly does that mean?

CHOP

Chop is Nigerian pidgin for eat and at Chuku’s that’s what you’ve come to do. If you’ve ever been to a Nigerian aunty’s house, you’ll know how it goes: no-one leaves hungry. It’s the same at our place. So roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. Whether jollof runs through your blood or Nigerian food is new to you, get ready to enjoy well, well!

Can’t quite wrap your head around the idea of a Chocolate Yam Brownie? Order it anyway - even if you're the only one at the table having dessert. Never tried the classic Chin Chin? Don’t leave without tasting it. And if you’re a Chuku’s regular, let yourself indulge in all your favourites. There are no rules - just eat well and enjoy.

CHAT

As your taste buds start dancing, let your tongue get moving too. Catch up with whoever you came with, yes. But don’t stop there - the restaurant is full of curious, big-hearted people.

So, pretend you’re at a Nigerian hall party and start striking up conversation . Give your recommendation to the table next to you or take a moment to chat to our team. You never know what you might learn.

Dining solo? You’re in the right place. Chuku’s is the place where people enter as strangers and leave as friends. And just like with the food, there are no rules here - feel free to laugh loud and just be you.

CHILL

Take a breath. Kick back. And relax, as we whisk you away to Nigeria!

Let the Nigerian beats from the speakers move you. Get lost in the proverbs on our walls, uncover the beauty of Nigerian names through our name tins, and explore our bookshelf of Nigerian authors - you might even snap a pic of your next read.

Soak in our Naija vibes and enjoy a mini-escape from London.

So now you've had the guide, it's time to put it into practise and come chop, chat, chill with us!
