Akoko is a Michelin-starred West African restaurant in London.[3][4][5][6]
The restaurant's kitchen was initially headed by former MasterChef: The Professionals semi-finalist William Chilila, who departed as head chef in February 2021.[7] He was replaced by Ayo Adeyemi.[2]
Both Adeyemi and Akokomi's families are Yoruba and originally hailed from Nigeria, and Adeyemi cited the cuisines and ingredients of Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal and The Gambia influencing his cooking.[8]
