Spinach & Agushi

Great food. Very friendly. Something different.

5 stars for a market stall. Cool dudes selling interesting food (from my very white point of view — probably pretty fucking blahzay to a big segment of the worlds population).
«Wasn’t all that dissimilar to Indian food,» I said, ignorantly.
«Ghana is in India,» replied my friend, semi-​retardedly.

So glad I decided to stop here for my lunch today for the first time.
They have about 5 different options on the Exmouth market stall ranging from chicken to beef and vegetarian dishes all cooking in giant iron wok type dishes.
Went for a combo of the peanut chicken stew (yum) plus spinach and agushi and rice. The chicken dish had plenty of generous chunks of super tender chicken in a flavourful peanut sauce and the spinach dish was lighter but spicier so a good combo. Great rice too.
Really delicious and good portion size for £5.50. Very satisfying for a Friday lunch.

PHEW SPICY!
The most popular stall on Exmouth Market, for good reasons. Filling, tasty, unique, good value.
Only been once and tried the spinach agushi and seafood stew. Both great :)

I face a daily battle NOT to go and get Spinach and Agushi for lunch. In the end, I usually end up caving at least every fortnight.
The rice alone is delicious, the aponymous spinach & agushi is lovely — unique flavour, filling and delicious. Occasionally if I’m starving (a small box will fill me up so beware the large boxes!) I’ll have the peanut or coconut chicken, both sinfully bad for you but tasty as anything. The lamb and beef dishes tend to be a bit spicier, and the meat can have the odd bit of gristle, but you can’t knock the flavour.
Fantastic to have some interesting and good value food right on my office doorstep.

Spinach & Agushi, a stall located on Broadway Market on Saturdays, bestows upon you a little rectangular box of awesome. From their row of deep iron wok-​like pans, they spoon you huge heaping shovelfuls of Ghanaian stews over tasty spiced jollof rice. I had the trademark spinach and agushi dish and a groundnut stew (sort of like a chicken satay type of tender peanut chicken stew) topped with a light carrot salad and a splash of hot sauce. It’s an enormous amount of food in a little box, and is certainly £5.50 worth of incredibly filling, uniquely spiced tastiness.
I agree with Felix W. on the ‘African’ food category needing a bit more differentiation… London has Nigerian, Senegalese, Ethiopian, Moroccan food and more, and that’s just in one row of stalls at a place like the Sunday UpMarket at Brick Lane.
Anyway. Spinach & Agushi. Yum. Great way to reward myself for the exhausting task of roaming Broadway Market and tasting samples of even more delicious food. It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it…

Bit offensive Unilocal!,to offer ‘African’ as a category of food. What food do you like? I like European food, all of it.
Anyway, Spinach & Agushi serve Ghanian food. It’s a little stall at the bottom of Exmouth Market, two guys really friendly. They cook 4 stews every day, fresh. Fresh ingredients. You can’t really knock that.
I had groundnut stew, which was really nice. Today, they also did black eyed bean, beef, and spinach, always a vegetarian option. So, they’ll serve one or two of these with a big helping of nicely spiced rice. £4.00. And it is filling. Can confirm.
I hadn’t eaten Ghanian before. It wasn’t generic either, each stew was cooked differently. Really tasty
