I was in charge of organising a meal for my group and after a fair bit of research and deliberatation, we chose Whitehart Restaurant.
22 of us spent time at the restaurant and we had a great time.
The staff were accommodating and helpful - they rearranged the space to accommodate our group size and ensured we all sat together.
They kept reassuring us that everything will be fine for the evening and they delivered.
The menu was available via the QR code - we got a hang of it eventually. Despite being a large group, we were able to order all our meals online.
The starters were scrumptious, we almost overdid it.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their main meals. The portions were sizeable and arrived on time. Every meal was fresh, hot and delicious.
The staff were attentive, respectful, accommodating and ensured we enjoyed our time there.
To top it up, the resident DJ was delivering some great tunes which we couldn't resist.
We will be back!!!!

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS IF YOU VALUE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HONESTY. I ordered Ogbono soup but was told upon delivery it was Egusi. I was charged for both and only agreed to pay because the staff member who took my order was close to tears saying they would have to cover the mistake from their own salary. I asked to speak to the manager who was nowhere to be found.
I also ordered £6 worth of chicken and when I got home I noticed one piece was missing. I called to complain and asked to speak with the same woman who served me. She was again on the verge of tears. When I mentioned leaving a Google review the manager suddenly picked up and told me not to threaten them getting argumentative instead of trying to resolve or calm things down.
I asked to hear the call recordings and the manager promised they would allow it. Since then I have gone into the shop twice and called multiple times requesting a callback. No answer. No manager. Just terrible customer service all around.
Avoid this place. If you want real respect and honesty go to K Spice instead.

The waitress was rude and very unprofessional. The service was also delayed despite calling to order. Overall experience was poor! Never coming back. Been here a few times and service was ok. But today's service was appalling and this is down to the waitress who was cold, unprofessional and verbally rude. Never coming back. Today's experience was very poor!!

RAW UNCOOKED CHICKEN?
I wouldn't return to this restaurant again, service was poor. There was not enough cutlery on the table only X2 sets for our party of 4 people. We asked X3 times for cutlery!
Was waiting over an hour for the food to come out and food all came out at different times, so some had finished their food before others had even got there's.
To top it off, after waiting 1 hour 15 minutes for my food to come out they gave me uncooked bloody chicken (picture attached). Which I didn't eat and told them to take it away, they had the cheek to try and charge me for a meal I didn't eat. Not on my watch!!!
The music was also so loud you couldn't have a conversation with others. I was literally SHOUTING and I still couldn't be heard!!
Overall very disappointing experience and I will NOT be going back again.

I was looking forward to coming here as it was recommended to me. The music was so loud you had to shout in the persons ear so they could hear you. The food (in my opinion) was well below average and some what stingy with meat options for what you pay. I wouldn't go there again by choice... even had to get a refund because the chicken we ordered was raw and bloody in the middle.

A great place to experience typical Nigerian food and drink

My family of 5 went to Whitehart on Mother's Day and sadly we won't be going back.
We arrived at 7.10pm had to stand around for 10mins while a table was cleared for us. It was painful to watch the only waitress on duty clear away items without a tray... it took 3 trips and at one point she was on the floor trying to pick up items that had been dropped in the process. In the end the table wasn't cleaned properly and there were no glasses or cutlery replacements.
The service was slow... 40mins for our drinks and starter to arrive and only after we reminded them. Drinks came without glasses and my husband had to make 2 trips to the bar to ask for them along with some ice as the soft drink was not cold.
The starter platter which cost £15 came with poor quality food especially one blacken puff puff that was inedible. 3 pawns, 3 puff puff, 3 spring rolls and 1 chicken thigh for £15 and they could not even make sure it was all edible?! There was no water provided... you could however buy a bottle for £2.50. ?
We had been waiting for an hour when they came to tell us they were out of Jollof rice!!! How do you run out of your most popular item at 8.30pm?
My husband went to the gents and came back unhappy with the cleanliness, so everyone went easy on drinks so they would not have to use the facilities.!
They served a main for one member of our group while the rest of us waited for another 40 mins, in frustration we decided to cancel our food order in favour of going home to eat KFC, I went to the bar to ask to pay for what we had received at which point they said our order was ready. This was now 9.10pm. We waited another 10mins for cutlery.
My daughter was served food in a bowl with the inner coloured layer peeling off into her meal, and the meat was so tough she gave up trying to eat it altogether.
Jollof rice was replaced with fried rice, which was more like boiled rice mixed with vegetables. My husband ordered Amala but got pounded yam! But at this point t we decided that sending it back would be too risky.
At the end of our meal we asked to speak to the manager but was told she was busy as she was also the cook! We sent word to her regarding our experience and we were given £2 off our bill. ?
It wasn't about the money but I guess that went over his/her head.
It's so sad that this restaurant has not maintained its standards. This is my 4th or 5th visit and it has been my choice for authentic African food for the past 2 years. The variety of African stews is fantastic but this on its own is not enough!

They took to long to serve drinks and then said the food was finished, almost 2hrs later. Spoilt Mother?s Day dinner.

If you would like to wait 2 hours for food, come to this place. Worst restaurant experience I?ve had in the UK. To add insult to injury, it was even on Mother?s Day. Will not be returning.

Food is really good but the wait time is criminal

This place surprised me. Definitely one the nicest African restaurants I've eaten in. Not your average pub restaurant.
The food was delicious. I loved the lamb suya, the egusi was good and the gizard and plantain was lovely, with a lot of sauce and plantain.
I think there were also foods that I don't normally see in Nigerian restaurants.
There appeared to be a good choice of drinks, including cocktails.
The service was good; I can't complain, and the ambience was nice, with nice lighting and great music, played by a DJ. The chairs were comfortable, and it wasn't too busy (but busy enough) for a Friday night.
I really liked the overall vibe and would definitely return.

I bought fish today for £45, but when I opened the pack, I was shocked by what I found. I called to complain, asking why I received fish in such poor condition. The guy at the counter passed the phone to the person who packed it, and she claimed that the fish broke while she was putting it in the box, so she included the broken pieces.
I told her there were missing parts of the fish and that I couldn?t accept it. Their response? Since I had already paid, there was nothing they could do. I reminded them that this wasn?t the first time they had done this to me, but they didn?t seem to care. I can?t believe I had to throw the fish away?it looked like something that had already been eaten.
