Ivory Seasons: New trendy dining hub winning over Londoners

London has no shortage of restaurants, but every now and then a new spot opens that feels less like a business and more like a movement. That’s exactly what Ivory Seasons has become since opening its doors on August 1, 2025. Just two minutes from Hoxton Station and ten minutes from Liverpool Street, located at Unit 5, Cremer Street, 1C Rosewood Building, E2 8GX, London,.the Nigerian-owned restaurant has quickly turned into the place where food, culture, and connection collide.

It’s not just about dinner, it’s about the vibe. Open Thursday to Sunday evenings, Ivory Seasons has already cemented itself as the go-to hangout for young Londoners looking to unwind after work, celebrate milestones, or simply catch up with friends over a table full of bold flavours.

The menu itself is a love letter to African cuisine with a modern twist: think peri-peri wings, lamb ribs, calamari, and the showstopper: Egusi. For Nigerians in London, egusi is comfort food at its finest, evoking memories of family dinners and festive gatherings.

For London’s adventurous foodies, it’s a delicious discovery that feels both authentic and stylishly new.

Varun Gupta, Ivory Seasons’ General Manager, put it best:

“Egusi has been a revelation. Around 60% of our guests are Africans, especially Nigerians, but what’s exciting is how young Londoners are embracing it. They love the tradition, but they also love the atmosphere. It’s social, it’s modern, it’s different.”

And that atmosphere is half the magic. Ivory Seasons isn’t a place where you rush through a meal; it’s a lounge-style experience designed for lingering. Guests are encouraged to spend three to four hours soaking in the energy—whether it’s for a birthday, a date night, or just a laid-back evening with friends.

With its stylish interiors, curated playlist, and that unmistakable Nigerian flair, Ivory Seasons feels like more than just a restaurant. It’s a cultural hub, a community space, and a fresh chapter in London’s dining scene—one that speaks directly to the city’s young, global, and endlessly curious population.

Barely two months in, and the buzz is everywhere. From Instagram feeds to word-of-mouth hype, Ivory Seasons is proving that London’s youth aren’t just hungry for good food—they’re hungry for experiences. And in Ivory Seasons, they’ve found both.
