Shakara

SHAKARA

Contemporary West African restaurant, Shakara, is the latest addition to London’s vibrant dining scene. Nestled in the heart of Marylebone, Shakara serves to provide a thoughtfully curated menu of exceptional African cuisine paired with fine mixology. Rooted in rich cultural traditions and designed to ignite all the senses, Shakara offers a sanctuary of sophisticated indulgence with exclusive private dining.

The space is adorned with the warm radiance of pendant lights, earthy-coloured terracotta tiles inspired by Nigeria’s red soil, and abstract artwork that showcases artists from esteemed institutions such as The Red Dot Gallery. From the brand’s logo reflecting a culturally-inspired ‘K’ and talking drum graphic elegantly stamped into wax, the launch of Shakara honours Yoruba cultural heritage while simultaneously incorporating a sense of timeless sophistication and exclusivity.
