🎉 WHO WE ARE
Chuku’s is about culture, community, and cuisine. What started 10 years ago as a brother-and-sister pop-up with a dream to share the spirit of Lagos in London has grown into a flagship restaurant in Tottenham — full of colour, energy, and afrobeats, serving vibrant Nigerian dishes made for sharing.


With big ambitions and a second site on the horizon, now’s the perfect time to join a team that believes in new possibilities — building something bold, joyful, and lasting.


Every dish is a conversation. Every guest is family. Every team member matters. We support each other, value everyone, and make real connections — through our food, with each other, and the world around us.
