TATALE RETURNS x RAHEL STEPHANIE | Tuesday 20th May 2025 | 17:30-19:30

Since finishing up the long-term residency at The Africa Centre two years ago, founder Akwasi Brenya-Mensa has been popping up globally in different guises, stretching and evolving the Tatale concept. Now back in London, Brenya-Mensa will be sharing the recent journeys of Tatale with a quarterly residency, inviting peers, collaborators, and those that inspire, to commune once again.

First up, Tatale settles in at Paradise Soho with a week-long service. Two services every night will see a combination of pure Tatale dishes, including the signature Omo Tuo (mashed rice) & Nkatekwan (groundnut soup). As well as a run of ‘Collab’ services that invite friends of Tatale: Rahel Stephanie, Rachel Ama, James Cochran and Ghana 365; to the table, demonstrating Tatale’s continual interweaving approach to food and storytelling.

The Tatale menu will be ingredient-led, allowing guests to focus on the various layers of an ingredient. The snack will focus on ackee; the starter is of course, the Groundnut. Followed by a choice of main, lamb or okra, finishing with a dessert choice of either rum or rhubarb. The Collaboration menu will feature influence and ingredients from both creatives.

Rahel Stephanie founded Spoons, the sell-out London-based Indonesian supper club in 2019. With the goal of sharing lesser-known Indonesian dishes after noticing the widespread inaccurate representations of Indonesian cuisines in the Western world, she was compelled to reclaim her culture and set right misconceptions of Indonesian cuisine. Rahel was included in Dazed 100 (2022), Code Hospitality’s 30 under 30 (2022), and Be Inclusive Hospitality’s Rising Star (2023).

As we did back in the day, we ask that you bring 2 items of dry or tinned food so that we can make a donation to a local food bank. Our dining concept began with an aim to help fight food poverty and we are very grateful for your help on this.

When purchasing tickets please make sure to purchase for your group as opposed to separately. The restaurant is an open plan format and an intimate setting so we will all be next to one each other. As a result of this the maximum group size we can guarantee together is 4.

Your experience begins at the allotted time, please be on time so we can guarantee you the smoothest experience. 

Thank you for reading this and THANK YOU for your support, love and joy xx

Tatale team  ❤️️

P.S - Our menu includes a plant-based option in every course.
