Our Menu

Our carefully crafted menu celebrates the vibrant flavours of Africa, alongside European brasserie classics. Using locally sourced ingredients and authentic African spices, our chefs create unforgettable culinary experiences.

At Ebony Table, every detail is intentional. From the carefully chosen spices and meats in our stews and grills, to the dark wood beneath your plates, gold accents, warm lighting, and pictures adorning our walls. We honour the richness of African culture with reverence and pride, while merging the historical culture of England with fine grilled meats and an exceptional dining experience. The result is an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere that creates the perfect setting for any occasion.

“I went there last week and had spicy beef with salad and cocktails. The presentation was pleasing to the eye and tasted equally as good as it looked. I thoroughly enjoyed my cocktails, which had the right amount of alcohol, not watered down like some places. The ambience was calming, the music was at the right level for conversation, and the table distance was spacious enough for privacy. Will definitely visit again to sample more of their menu”.
