Fabulous food and drinks, with super hospitable staff. Afrikaana is a one of favourite places in Brum.

Easily the best place I have been to. AMAZING customer service (Haych/Manvir - ladypool road ), delicious food and generally a great atmosphere.

Certainly! Here’s a review you can use for Afrikana: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Afrikana, and I can’t recommend it enough! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a meal. The menu features a wonderful array of authentic dishes that truly celebrate the richness of African cuisine. I want to extend a special thank you to Jay for his exceptional service. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic helping me with my queries, making our experience even more enjoyable and he ensured we had everything we needed throughout our visit. I've met him on multiple occasions when I've dined at Afrikana and he's an asset to the business Overall, Afrikana exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return!

Hatch was great serving and manvir was really nice. Thank you for giving us a nice time and looking after us

The food was good. It was my first time, but it will not be the last. The portion size was sufficient for the price. The atmosphere is really nice. We were served by Jay, and it was a great experience. Our initial order was mistaken, we canceled it, they still gave us on the house.

Tee was great the whole time, made us feel welcomed and delivered everything with a smile. The food was great, the Afrikana sauce was brilliant with everything we ordered

The food was simply amazing! Loved the cocktails as well especially the Afrikana signature punch. Such aesthetically pleasing ambience. Staff(Jay) was also very pleasant and attended well to our needs. Will defo visit again.

Our visit to Afrikana Birmingham was truly exceptional. The culinary offerings were outstanding, featuring a generous platter that we supplemented with additional chops and selected sides. We also opted for an upgrade on our fries. The portion sizes were more than ample, comfortably satisfying our group of five. The staff's hospitality was particularly noteworthy. They displayed a warm, friendly demeanor and were remarkably accommodating, addressing all our requests with enthusiasm. Their service consistently exceeded our expectations, contributing significantly to the overall positive dining experience.

We came for my friends birthday and T made it so special for my friend. I loved it!!!

It was a very good experince and T did an excellent job at accommodating us for my friends 18th birthday

Thank you Jay The Afrikana food is delicious and we felt home with your warm welcome. Bless you mate we'll come over again and again and we'll tell our family and friends about it.

It was lovely. Lovely music. Lovely food. And amazing customer service from Jay and Manvir!

Was walking past this joint and thought let's have a look at the menu...... Menu is what enticed us in plus the way Jay (manager) politely entertained our enquiry. Once sat down at the table Tee (our waiter) was very helpful in recommending what he thought were his main dishes. We went for Lady Finger starters (great appetiser dish), in-house Hummus was delicious. Main courses were Bun True Love (a double smash patty burger) was delicious served with crispy fries and sauces, we also had Just Kebabin (succulent, slow cooked mutton boneless pieces of meat with peppers and vegetables served with mash potatoes. Dining experience was great, waiters very attentive and very polite. Big shout to Tee and Jay again 👍🏽

Firstly the customer service by Jay was amazing, really pleasant, friendly and professional and that’s rare these days.. The food was perfect as well! Will definitely be coming here again with my wife. We are very pleased, well done Jay & Afrikana! 👍🏻👌🏻 Markos & Eva.

Very tasty food and our waiter Danny was great

Got served by Tee, great service great food

Waiter in particular Tee was very attentive to every customer and offered to make my birthday extra special. Thank you very much.

I recently visited Afrikana on Ladypool road and had an incredible dining experience! I ordered the butterfly chicken, which was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The seasoning was spot on, and the portion size was generous. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. Zak, our server, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. He was attentive, friendly. I highly recommend this place for both the delicious food and top-notch service. I'll definitely be coming back!

Amazing! We were served by this two lovely staff and it was the best experience😊 Thank you Hayat and Mawrir

Food has improved so much - everything was tasty. Heinrich was so friendly and provided a great service.

Nice place to relax with family 👌

Great food, and fantastic service by T. Definitely coming again!

I went out with my family. Very friendly people. Would recommend to families 👍🏽

Was keen to try Afrikana on Ladypool Road, after reading the reviews but our experience was horrible. When we arrived we was taken to a table. half hour later as we was not approached we asked a waiter how long it would take before we could order drinks and/or food he advised cooking time for food was 20 minutes and he took our order. My partners food did arrive within the 20 minutes promised but the curry mutton was forgotten about we had to wait a further 30 minutes before they continued to pass us by before we could ask them what was going on with the food, it then took another 10 minutes and arrived to our table (no apologies) this meal was not edible the meat was so chewy I could not stop chewing so had to bin it and I gave up eating the meat, the rice was like a microwaved rice in clumps of rice, the plantain was three tiny piece so couldn’t taste anything at all. My partner enjoyed the beef taco starter, the mac and cheese tasted like a pasta bake and was very cheesy we shared some of it as a side dish, the sweet potatoe fries were nice but they were cold so that was a shame. We were not asked at any point how our food was. Following a further hour wait we asked for the bill, the waiter could see the mutton was barely touched and still did not ask how the food was, it was deflating eating here, the service was terrible ruined our evening out won’t be returning.

It was my first time there and will definitely not be my last. Great food and variety, great service and nice atmosphere.

I recently had the pleasure of trying Afrikaans cuisine for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed. The food was of exceptional quality, and the overall experience was fantastic. What truly elevated the evening, though, was the outstanding service from the front of house staff, particularly Haych, who made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this place—10/10!

The service was amazing i was served by zak who made sure everything was okay and that the food was good great service :)

Was served by Illum and he was really hospitable, very professional. His service was top-notch

Thank you jay for a fantastic dining experience for me and my family

Brilliant food and atmosphere. Jay and Touseef recommended the goat curry and fish which was delicious. Would definitely come again.

Tousef and Jay were great, food and service were lovely

I was served by Zak today, the service he provided was quick, efficient and timely. I noticed he was serving other tables at the same time but there was no issues, everything we needed was provided extremely quickly. The food was also top notch, I definitely recommend Afrikana to anyone wanting to enjoy a nice dinner with friends or family!

Zak at AFRIKANA was fantastic! He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and added a personal touch to our dining experience. Highly recommend the restaurant for his outstanding service. A+ for ZAK

Came to Afrikana as a first time customer. We ordered a sharing platter. The food was amazing and we enjoyed the mac and cheese! Great service from Zak, who very helpfully recommended mocktails. Will definitely be returning!

The burger and salmon dishes were very nice. Plus the service was on point … thank you Zak!

We were served by Zak who was lovely from start to finish. Really attentive and food was gorgeous. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Price was very reasonable. Would defo go again.

Touseef was very helpful and nice

Good food, drinks & customer service. Haych served us, we had a good time.

I can’t tell you enough how lovely this restaurant is. Their service is above and beyond and the food is such a nice twist on Afro Caribbean menu

Went there for the first time, absolutely loved the food, want to thank ILLUM for his great service, will definitely visit again.

Great food and customer service. H was a great host!

Haych was really accommodating! Great food but even better service!

This place is full of vibes. The food is tasty fresh and overall just outstanding. Reasonably priced for the quality of food and presentation. I must say I do love coming here. Big shout out to H who is so lovely. He is lively and just brings out the good vibes. H explained the menu very detailed and was very clear about everything and really helpful. Overall myself and family all enjoyed a lovely meal once again and will be back soon again for sure. Thanks H and the team @ Afrikana Birmingham. Keep up the good work.

Top place to eat. My go to whenever I want to go out, been here a few times. Food is high quality, portions are good size, price is, like everywhere else going to be on the high end, so if I'm going to spend that much, I'd rather spend it on food like this. A group of 4 of us went and thought the chops were 10/10, prawns were 10/10, the portion size for the chicken platter was good, we were all able to share, and there was a dish called jambalaya, had rice and chicken made with a special Africa sauce which was just amazing, (1st time trying that so will definitely get it when I go again). Atmosphere was amazing, and there was also a small smoke show, which they only do in the evenings, so added to the ambience. Staff were amazing from the moment we walked in to the end. A lot of places are overrated on ladypool road, so when going with friends that are critical about food, and they enjoy it, it makes me happy and shows that the place has genuinely good food. Will be back very soon! Toilets available. Parking very limited, but there's spaces around on roads near by. Not too busy at all Saturday (9pm)

One of the gem’s on Ladypool Road!

Firstly the customer service here was amazing. The food was second to none. Will definitely be coming here again. Would recommend the island fish and chips - great portion!

Every time I come here I genuinely enjoy my meal. One of the better places to eat on Ladypool Road for sure and the drinks are refreshing. Defo recommend getting the chicken steak and island fish and chips

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Afrikana in Birmingham, and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance set the tone for an exceptional evening. The decor is modern yet warm, with vibrant African-inspired artwork and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is a delightful fusion of African flavors with a contemporary twist. I started with the peri-peri chicken wings, which were perfectly spiced and juicy. For the main course, I opted for the jollof rice with grilled lamb, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The lamb was tender and flavorful, while the jollof rice had the perfect balance of spices, delivering a rich and authentic taste. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the quality of the ingredients. Every dish felt carefully crafted and bursting with flavor. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring you leave fully satisfied. The service was another highlight of the evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of the dining experience was enjoyable. I highly recommend Afrikana to anyone in Birmingham looking for a unique and flavourful dining experience. I'll definitely be returning soon!

Brilliant food, great staff just overall lovely environment

Jay’s service was outstanding! Food is well worth the price. lamb chops were amazing

Amazing food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere.

The food really very nice specially island fish and chips. And the staff was really very nice and humble.

Very dissatisfied and disappointed Food weren’t that great and service was poor Glasses stank and waiter didn’t want to admit it

Gorgeous decor and stunning food. Recommended highly!

Had a fantastic meal at Afrikana Birmingham yesterday. Was delighted by the service and the quality of the food. Jay served me and my family and made us feel very welcomed. Can't recommend it enough.

this spot is straight fire! From the moment you walk in, the vibes are on point. The service? Impeccable. They treated us like royalty. And let's talk about the food – absolute game-changer. Every dish was a flavor explosion, like a party in my mouth. Presentation? A work of art. Its worth every penny for the culinary journey you're on. If you're looking to impress or just indulge, this place is the move. Ate lush all the way!

Food was amazing and good recommendations from the waiter zak

Took my family out to Afrikana over the weekend we were pleasantly greeted by staff on arrival. The level of service from the waiters was spot on got our order exactly how we asked. Food came out within good time all piping hot just how I like it. Overall food and level of service was amazing Will definitely be back and recommend others to try.

Delicious hearty food and great atmosphere too. Staff are friendly and attentive. I loved the okra fries! Also enjoyed the jammin jambalaya and prawn to be wild. I recommend the mojitos, lovely presentation, great for the socials!

Staff illum was very attentive and helpful

Definitely would recommend Afrikana, food was absolutely delicious, staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Was served by Jay and he definitely went the extra mile and made sure the evening was perfect. Great atmosphere.

I was really impressed by the service at Afrikana. The staff members were very knowledgable about the food and provided fantastic suggestions. The food was lovely! Truly excellent service! The service here is exceptional.

I've been here multiple times and I can say with confidence their mac and cheese is delicious if not the best I've had. Recently had the "prawn to be wild", would definitely recommend, get it with the jollof rice and have it together. Nice little combo if you like curry and rice. I've also enjoyed their hummus and bread, the bread was lovely. Nice and soft.

The whole restaurant had a good vibe, food and surrounding. I had a great experience with Illum's service. He was attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly. His dedication and friendly approach made the whole process enjoyable. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking excellent service!

Amazing food and atmosphere served by H, who was a very welcoming host.

The manager jay was very nice and friendly.
