ºÚÁÏÉç x Chef Aji Akokomi

An exclusive menu inspired by Nigerian Modernism

ºÚÁÏÉç partners with acclaimed Nigerian chef Aji Akokomi, founder of London restaurants Akara and Akoko, for a new culinary collaboration celebrating Nigerian Modernism. Launching 17 October 2025, Akokomi’s exclusive three-course lunch menu at ºÚÁÏÉç’s restaurant takes inspiration from the exhibition’s themes. Known for his innovative approach to West African cuisine, Akokomi draws on the pioneering spirit of Nigerian modernist artists — particularly potter Ladi Kwali, whose work will feature in the exhibition and whose ceramics have long influenced his presentation and storytelling.

Available à la carte or with an exhibition ticket bundle, this special menu offers a sensory journey through art, culture and contemporary Nigerian cooking.

£36 for two courses and snack · £56 with exhibition ticket

You can book the menu-only experience by making a reservation at the restaurant, or purchase the combined lunch and exhibition ticket via the Nigerian Modernism exhibition page during the special lunch slots.

^{A discretionary service charge will be added to your bill.}
