Jemima and I have been friends for almost a decade. We first met through blogging back in 2013 when I hosted a blogger’s night out, and ever since then our shared love for food and dancing has taken us to many of London’s hottest restaurants and nightlife spots, and in 2018 we even went to Marrakech together!
Seeing as we hadn’t had a girl’s night out since before the pandemic started in 2020, we jumped at the opportunity to experience Sumosan Twiga, an upscale restaurant and club in Knightsbridge.
Sumosan Twiga offers a contemporary dining space featuring black and bronze accents inspired by colonial Africa mixed with classic European stucco. The restaurant first opened in 2016 and offers its clientele the best of Japanese flavours and the finest of Italian cuisine!
For a less formal atmosphere and a more relaxed dining experience, you can eat in the bar upstairs which offers an extensive cocktail menu alongside an a la carte menu. We dined in the restaurant though, and absolutely loved it! It had the perfect balance of feeling upscale but with a party atmosphere.
Everyone was there to have a good time and the food was surprisingly decent given it operates with a nightlife twist.
We started with a glass of champagne each and the delicious Tuna tartare…
The second part of our starters was the Burrata with “datterino” tomatoes, and veggie Gyoza’s…
Our main course was mushroom and truffle ravioli, which was incredible!
The second part of our main course was tempura tofu with aubergine, which was also really tasty!
And finally we enjoyed Tiramisu and Mochi ice-cream balls for dessert, and as you can see from the photos below, I was *very* happy about dessert!
After dinner headed downstairs to the nightclub for dancing!
We had such a fun night at Sumosan Twiga – we will definitely be back!
*Our meal was complimentary in return for Instagram content. I have chosen to share our experience on my blog as well.
