"The food was amazing, drinks were very well made and service was 5* . I would definitely visit again and looking forward to try more of the menu. If you don’t try it out your missing out"

"Everything was great. Visited yesterday evening and they were patient with us (friends train was delayed). The food was delicious and portions were reasonable - especially recommend the fish, suya and jollof. The service from the two gentlemen that evening was friendly and attentive. Thank you!"

"This is a Afro-fusion restaurant, with popular Nigerian and West African dishes. The restaurant has a great ambience and is an intimate setting (so do book ahead) with inspired pictures/images on the walls which can serve as a great background for photos. The customer service was good too Now onto the food! I had the asun and garlic butter sautéed prawns for starters. The asun was spicy, very tender and perfectly cut into small bite size chunks. The prawns were cooked well and a great size. But I do with the flavours were more marinated into the prawns I think a lot of the flavours didn’t pass the shell into the prawns. Unfortunately the tozo suya was not available on this occasion, which would have been my preferred choice. For my main I had the grilled lamb chops, with gravy, coleslaw and jollof rice. Again this was a good size. The potion sizes in general at Papis grill are great value for money. Lamb was tender and full of flavour, the jollof was made with basmati rice which I prefer and and smokey like party jollof. For drinks I had the Chapman! It was a good size and very nice. Can’t go wrong with that I definitely recommend and will be back soon to try other dishes!"

"Service was pleasant but slow; Saturday night service. Restaurant is fairly new so may still be understaffed. Food was ordered promptly but it took over an hour to eat. Customers sitting next to us we’re getting agitated. Luckily the atmosphere of the restaurant was chilled and pleasant. We were a walk in and could only get a table outside initially which was okay as it was a warm night; as soon as a table was free inside, we were asked if we wanted to go inside. When the food did come out it was hot so you know the food is being cooked fresh. The cocktails were strong in alcohol; as it should be at £10 per glass. Overall a nice experience, would love to try again when service picks up."
