About this restaurant

Hungry for Africa? Craving an exotic culinary experience? Bogayo restaurant in the City of London on Old Street is waiting to fulfil your desires. It may not quite be an African holiday, but Bogayo’s Moroccan/European menu, chill out lounge with a Moroccan vibe and dining room with North African flair will get you partway there without your having to board a plane. Bogayo channels the sunshine even when it’s three below. The comfortable dining room combines traditional Moroccan lanterns and soft furnishings with contemporary touches while the plush surroundings of the draped Moroccan tent will turn your cocktail hour into a royal experience. The menu features fusion Mediterranean, North African and European cuisine in dishes like kofta tagine, or you may choose to enjoy a tapas meal with friends. Bogayo’s fans love to finish any meal with a pot of tea served in glasses and a go at the shisha pipe.

I caught up with a couple of girl friends here for dinner. The food was good but not spectacular. Service was friendly. Restaurant had a nice, small-business feel, I'm pretty sure it's operated by the owners. I would certainly come here again for a catch up with friends over a decent meal. It wasn't as busy or loud as other options in the Old Street / Shoreditch area (a good thing!) and I thought the food and wine were reasonably priced.

We went with a large group. The food took some time to arrive but was tasty. I had the halloumi starter and chicken tagine, both were very nice.

Excellent value for money. Ideal for 2 or 4 and was well accommodated. The offers were a little misleading you are only able to opt for one of which we discovered only when going to pay. Otherwise very enjoyable experience indeed

It's difficult to decide when you read mixed reviews. But I can certainly vouch for the good ones and glad that a few odd sods didn't put us off. The restaurant is small cosy and very friendly. The ambience traditional which makes it even more special. The food was simply amazing and plentiful. A great and memorable night. Will definitely go back.

Really wonderful food, all of our tagines were delicious! The desserts were so good we ordered seconds (of the pistachio) creme brulee. Uber generous glassed of wine. The restaurant was only manned by one waiter, but we never felt neglected and service was pretty speedy. Also a great, buzzy atmosphere the whole time.

When we arrive to the restaurant we had to wait for more than 15 min even when they had free tables. Also the manager explained to us that we can not choose lamb from the menu because wasn't include in the offer ( doesnt say anything on the web). The food was all right ( nothing special) but small dishes. Service horrible and we have to pay the service tax because we use the 50% disscount even if we didnt want to. And for the last thing the bill was wrong and they refuse to change it!!! Don't go is not worth it!!

Dinner date for two. Extremely good value - came to £26 each for three courses and a bottle of non-house red wine. Food was really good quality - I had the pigeon breast to start; seafood tagine for main; and fig tart with mango sorbet for dessert. He had scallops to start; royal couscous for main; and chocolate fondant for dessert. The only disappointments were the size of my couscous side dish - for £2 I would have expected more than three teaspoons worth of unseasoned cous cous! Also, the lamb on his cous cous was a bit tough. Otherwise the quality of the food and level of service was great. Nice atmosphere.

Not inspired food, The mezes were nice, but the chicken was less interesting than most home cooked meals. The restaurant was fairly empty when we were there but service was quite slow.
