“Auntie Nana’s is a great local spot based in east London. It’s one of my favourite spots. Every Sunday you’ll be greeted with family and friends vibing to Afrobeats. The banku and okro with meat is hands down their best meal. The okro is nice and slimy, mouthwatering and packed with loads of meat. This combined with the local peach-flavoured Alvaro is a deadly combination.” - Br3nya

This spot was recommended by Br3nya in her guide to Ghanaian food spots in London.
