The United Kingdom is about to pulse with Afrobeat rhythms and green-white-green pride, as Ivory Seasons in London gears up to host a high-energy celebration for Nigeria’s Independence Day with none other than DJ Nate James on the decks.

The restaurant is set to host a special Independence Day celebration on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, in honour of Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary.

The upcoming celebration is expected to draw London’s Nigerian community and lovers of Afrobeat, culture, and cuisine. With DJ Nate James at the turntables, guests can expect an evening of music, dancing, and mouth-watering dishes that reflect the soul of Nigeria with a twist of international flair.

The event, blending Afrobeat, community, and cuisine, promises to be a defining moment for a restaurant that is already redefining expectations.

Ivory Seasons’ menu is already earning rave reviews for its culinary creativity. From calamari with a subtle spice twist, to joke prawn toast—a playful reinvention of a classic—every dish at Ivory Seasons tells a story. Its menu is a culinary journey, punctuated by standout items like peri peri wings, yaji beef skewers, lamb ribs, and the ever-comforting egusi soup prepared traditionally but served in a setting that feels contemporary and inclusive.

The restaurant’s following is rapidly growing, with over 10,000 views on Instagram and praise from notable Nigerian personalities. Recently, Shina Rambo, Nigerian singer and cousin of Afrobeats superstar, Davido, gave the restaurant a perfect score after his visit.

“The drinks? 10 out of 10. The food? 10 out of 10,” Rambo said in a video shared on social media. “You have to check it out,” he said in a video posted on social media after a great experience.

As Ivory Seasons prepares to host its first major event, its ambitions are only growing.

Gupta has hinted at expansion plans, with one more location in London and a new one in Manchester potentially launching within the next six months.
