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!

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.

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 👍🏽

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!

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.

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)

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!

Probé este restaurante recientemente con un grupo de 5 amigos y no sabíamos qué esperar. Pedimos una vasta cantidad de comida para la mesa y un montón de cerveza africana. La comida era increíblemente fresco, emocionante y con sabor a la perfección. El servicio era fantástico era como estar en la casa de alguien. El dueño era encantador y muy servicial al sugerir platos para probar y traernos extra alas de pollo en la demanda (fácilmente las alitas de pollo más sabroso que he comido). Este restaurante es realmente algo que tiene que probar: 10/10 por la comida, servicio y precio.
