   Had the best time at Shakara! The food was absolutely amazing—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel so welcome. I went with my girls, and we had the best experience soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. The African cuisine with a pan-fusion twist was incredible—bold flavors, rich spices, and unique dishes that stood out. The wine was excellent, and the cocktails were perfectly crafted, making the night even better. Highly recommend for a fun night out!

   I went for dinner and had a great experience from start to ending! From being greeted by my name in the entrance which was very humbling and smiles all around by the staff. Food: a fusion of great starters- all varying in tastes with unique flavours. My favourite ones were the arepas and the lamb skewers. Main Course: I had the Sirloin steak which was cooked perfectly combined with the sauces- made it a perfect explosion of taste! Dessert: I had the strawberry and guava sorbet- 10/10 and the apple crumble which was fab too. Staff: very upbeat, attentive and knowledgeable of the dishes served and most importantly served with great smiles all around! Thank you Shakara- I will be back!

   An exceptional fine dining experience. The attention to detail in each dish was impressive! The flavors in each dish were perfectly balanced and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. The staff went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable, They were attentive without being intrusive. I recommend this restaurant, 10 out of 10. 🙌🏽

   5-Star hands down! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shakara, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The service was impeccable—our server Fred was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was the true highlight. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend trying the lobster linguine, as it was one of the best I’ve ever had The attention to detail in both the food and service made this a truly memorable dining experience. Whether you’re looking for a cozy date night spot or a place to celebrate a special occasion, Shakara is the perfect choice. I can’t wait to return to go back 🤩

    I loved our meal. The service was great and the food was out of this world. We ordered a balance of delicately seasoned mains with bold sides. I had the Market Fish (Halibut fillet) and my partner had Monk Fish. Both cooked better than I've had elsewhere. I'm used to Monk Fish being quite tough but this was exquisitely cooked. The sides were Jollof rice and winter greens. We also had some starters. The portions are really good, not to big/ not too small. Cocktails were original and fun. The atmosphere is lively with a DJ, but you can hold a conversation. I love the joyful party atmosphere. The decor also really evokes the warmth and laid back glamour of West Africa that we don't always get to see.
