Afro Lounge in Cardiff

An absolute pleasure to deal with, catered to ALL our needs and more, delivered promptly, food came fresh, even individuals who've never tried Nigerian food, came for some more. I will be using Afro Lounge again. Wonderful job and thank you!

Ordered for a 10th birthday party at International Pool, amazing food was delivered on time and perfectly fresh. Amazing flavour and generous portions. Not one guest had ever tried Nigerian food, but everyone came back for 2nds and some for a third plate. 5 stars all round!!

The food was delicious had fun the atmosphere was just a hit . I originally came here with my family and we all had fun and enjoyed our time there . Will definitely recommend everyone to visit.

Food was delicious and I highly recommend going there . Superb

We had so much fun. Aesthetically appealing place to visit💯💯💯Love the food and drinks❤️

I ate your restaurant yesterday, You gave me okro but I asked for fisherman your food os 0/10 ,You guys need to work on your meals

Excellent food, courteous service, and serene atmosphere

I came here for an evening out with my colleagues to try out the Nigerian food on offer. We ordered a variety of meals and the food was delicious and authentic. This Nigerian approves! I’ll definitely visit again and highly recommend for authentic Nigerian food.

Tunde was a great host. The food was lovely and authentic. This is a nice place to have a hearty meal with friends. I especially enjoyed the fried plantains.

had a really nice time. seevwrs are very polite and helpful as we had no clue what to get. will be coming back!

If you want authentic Nigerian food and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place. Chill atmosphere, good food and friendly service, what more could you want?

Very nice service, had the seafood and it worth it

I highly recommend this place to everyone living or visiting Cardiff. The food is amazing and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Myself and my friends will definitely be visiting AfroLounge again, in our next trip to Cambridge. A special thank you to Tunde. 5*

Tried Nigerian food for the first time, enjoyed it. Great service.

Lovely music. Liked the suya and ayamase sauce. However the grilled fish, after taking so long was terrible. It wasn’t fresh and a part of it tasted strange…the yam that came with it also wasn’t fresh, was salty and really tasted different like it was leftover. And that fish was damn expensive!

I enjoyed my food and I will coming back. Best African food in town

Lovely place to wine and dine with friends and family. Also a nice ambiance to host a party or function. The host Tunde is Amazing with customer service.

Great place recommend by a friend The food is really authentic and tasty and the service was great the guys helped us with some great choices from the menu Would recommend

I ordered assorted meat, ayamese sauce and white rice then with suya. The assorted meat was just the tripe which I was not impressed and the sauce was not spicy nor tasty. I won't recommend the sauce but the suya was a 5 out of 10. I am highly impressed with their good services then good afro pop music.😁

Nice variety of dishes, very exciting food

Fantastic Seafood Okro Soup and Poundol. Good service, good atmosphere 👍

Best Nigerian foods in Cardiff Good customer service

A nice place to cool off when needed 😁 Sea boil food soooo good

The jollof rice was really nice. A bit small but top quality

Great location. The food, the drinks, the vibe was wonderful! Service and music was great too. I danced a lot. Loved the place, will definitely come back 🩷

Vibe was amazing. Loved the place, loved the music. I had a great time here.

Extremely low portions, i ordered on Deliveroo and barely got a spoon of egusi, the 2 piece of beef tasted old and the bocoto was extremely hairy. I don’t know whose ancestors I upset, but that was very disappointing.

Okro soup is so nice, I mean seafood okro, and that egusi is very nice. I recommend guys.

The food was amazing 🤩, I had the seafood okra and it was great

Lovely authentic Nigerian food. Great welcoming atmosphere and good service.

Excellent foods. A lovely experience

Enjoyed every bit of my stay…. The food was very tasteful and the ambience was lovely and the staff was nice

Really good food, chilled atmosphere, GF options plenty when we checked

Really lovely food, fantastic flavours. Something to be aware of is that Swallow meals are meant to be eaten with the hands - liquid soap and a large bowl of water are provided at the beginning of the meal, so there's no anxiety about having hands clean enough to eat with. Good selection of drinks. It included cocktails and they've taken the trouble to include some alcohol-free ones which is fab. Ambience-wise this is a noisy place. There are 2 screens and the noise level means people shout rather than talk. That's uncomfortable if you have hearing trouble or if you want a cosy and/or romantic experience. I also noted that my husband was deferred to, asked what he'd like to order and served first (drinks and again when food arrived). There seemed to be no effort made to include both of us, or alternate who was spoken to/served first. I sincerely hope this was just a coincidence and might be different another time. That doesn't change the fact that The Afro Lounge serves beautiful food and it's well worth visiting to enjoy something new.

Very good Nigerian meal. Had a nice time watching the euros too. But we need more recent afrobeats. Overall, it’s a 5 star

Afro Lounge is a great place to be, for the last 4 years away from home, have not eaten anything as good as what i had in afro lounge, Food 10/10 minus nothing, customer service is so on point.. The guy that attend to us (Kunle) gave us welcoming smiles.. The atmosphere is conducive.. I really love it there at afro lounge.. definitely coming back over and over again.

I ordered from Uber eat , assorted egusi with poundo yam, the soup smelt sour immediately I opened it , the meat was too soft like it’s been cooked for days , I couldn’t eat much threw it out. Waste of money , and even the sea food okro was tasteless. Bad food prep , serving days cooked microwaved meal.

Really nice atmosphere with good music. Food was amazing and service was great.

really good food and very filling.

I enjoyed the pounds yam with seafood Okro. My family enjoyed-themselves

Had high hopes but the jollof rice with beef is mostly jollof rice with chunks of fat. I struggled to find much meat in the dish and when I did it was quite dry. Outside of that the taste didn't impress The portion size was good but the service was cold and food disappointing

Purchasing food from this lounge was scary, but I will boldly say , it was one of the best decision, cos the food was worth it. I know I was difficult, you were as well, but it was overall wonderful experience. Keep it up. And you agreeing to come over not minding the distance was very much appreciated. Thank you.

A perfect find in Cardiff. Ordered Eforiro with assorted meat and pounded yam- unbelievable!! The best I’ve had in a long time- recommend highly!

Food was delicious and came out very quickly. Service was amazing.

The food was amazing! I tried the fish egusi and the seafood boil and the flavour was very good and unique. The portion sizes are very fair and I had leftovers for another day. The staff were also very kind. Highly recommend this place for Nigerian food. Will definitely be coming back.

First time eating here and I’ll definitely be back the egusi & hake was 10/10 Was recommended to try the Malt (haven’t tried it before) really enjoyed it Vibe was lovely and the staff very friendly Came with my boyfriend who’s Nigerian and he loved his soup Thankyou again 🖤

Great experience. Great service. Awesome food. Had a great time.

It was quite fun and bubbly. Enjoyed every minute! Amazing food too!!!

I was so excited to order from afro lounge even though the prices were so high compared to other African restaurants in Cardiff. The grill fish was a disappointment clearly was not freshly cooked was pre heated from previous cooking possible a few times , so dry, cold and hard to bite into. Let me not even get started with the bitterleaf soup. Only positive thing with the other was the plantain and pounded yam both were freshly cooked. For food poisoning safety, the order went straight to the bin. Not to talk of the prices are not worth the portions you get . I had to raise it with delivroo and got my money back after they ask for photos and I provided them. Such a shame you can not add photos with this reviews

The food is the best African food you'll ever try in the whole United Kingdom, the taste is amazing. Everything is perfect and you'll keep coming for more. Enjoy! Afro lounge is the best restaurant. EVERYTHING I SAID HERE IS THE OPPOSITE. lol. This is the worst restaurant ever. Avoid the seafood okro if you like yourself. I’m speaking from experience. Run away from Afro lounge if you can

The ideal spot for any of your west African cuisine desires

Amazing atmosphere. Good food for the price, very amazing place

Great atmosphere. Amazing service, the staff is very friendly and the food very yummy. The regular portions for adult is quite big but ask for extra meat for meat lovers. The place is also very neat. I enjoyed it 😋

I ate sea food okra and I loved the amount of spice, the hotness of the food and the customer service was good.

Very delicious Nigerian food with great service and lovely environment with music . Price is reasonable too

Very nice food lots of flavour and very good customer service

Swift service and friendly welcome.

Plantain and sauce was spicy, tasty and nice.

Plantain A1, wings and jollof really nice but beef abit tough. Good experience over all, would recommend

Fantastic food! Would recommend the talapia

Fantastic place. Very friendly staff and food is the.best

I had white soup and Eba, the best!!!

Great atmosphere accompanied with some good food.

The food was delicious and i will definitely be coming back.

Lovely food and atmosphere, staff were very friendly

Nice ambience, I hadn't experienced the exact vibe I craved until I visited Afro Lounge 10/10..left no crumbles 👍

Such a cool and sweet lounge to chill. Always an awesome experience at Afro lounge 😎

It was amazing, brought me back home. You should try it out

Nice food my girls finished the big portion of jollof rice😁👍🏼

This is the best African restaurant in wales. They have the best service and very sweet food.

Food was very good and of generous amounts. Had some issues ordering via Uber eats and eventually collected the order myself. Staff were friendly and repeatedly apologised for any inconvenience caused. Overall, a very good experienced.

I was delighted to be drawn outside of my usual choices on Whitchurch Road, and find food I greatly enjoyed as entirely reminiscent of my limited experience in African countries. It was my first taste of Nigerian food though, and it’s created a desire to try more! We ordered 2 “jalof rice with meat”, and at the last minute my brain followed my watering mouth to order “white soup” with goat meat. The rice dishes reminded me of the African spicing I’ve eaten on the continent: they had strong heat, to accompany the tasty authentic cuts of meat. Some people might experience one or two chunks of the meat as chewy. I think cooking it for a little longer could remedy this - but it’s how I remember the texture of African cooking, so it was perfect for me. When I collected the food for takeaway, the friendly and warm staff asked how I know about the soup dish. I hadn’t had that before but was too drawn not to try. It was a spice taste sensation! Very strong, (white?) pepper flavour, that complimented the perfectly cooked goat meat. I thought it was delicious. Thank you so much, I hope to see you very soon. Final thought: perhaps you might have a menu in the window that describes the ingredients / flavours of the dishes, that way more people might be tempted into trying this unique and hugely enjoyable experience.

Bought food which took over an hour to deliver, turn out to be tasteless and very pricey for the amount paid per meal

Awesome food Awesome live music

Brilliant atmosphere and food, we had the best time. Live music really added to evening, we 100% recommend!

I'm delighted to share that I thoroughly enjoy the Afro Lounge for its delectable Nigerian dishes. The restaurant creates a fantastic dining experience, offering authentic flavors and a warm atmosphere. It's my go-to place for savoring the richness of Nigerian cuisine.

What a tremendous experience eating delicious food with friends in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We loved the suya spice and the gentleman owner of the establishment allowed me to take a tub home (gratis). A kingly gesture to top off a fabulous evening. 6 stars.

Good, authentic Nigerian food! Service was good too.

Literally home away from home🤭❤️

We've wanted to try something different and were surprised how tasty it actually was. Friendly staff, always willing to help you with the menu and recommend what's best for you. If I get a chance, I'll definitely come back!

Has Nigerian and west African cuisine. The atmosphere is African, though the food takes time to be prepared but it's worth the wait

Had a really good time. Felt good to find a place to have Nigerian dishes that I miss so much. Food tasted really nice

Lovely atmosphere and their food is amazing 🤩.. I’ll love to visit again🥰🥰

Really nice place. Very relaxed and comfortable environment. Their food is really nice and affordable

Love the suya [peppered grilled beef]. The peppersoup is really good and there's other good dishes on the menu. Try the Nigerian Fanta and stout. The food is really good.

We had a nice time at Afro Lounge. We ordered a plate of jollof rice and fish with plantain and pounded yam with seafood okra soup. The pounded yam was great and the fish was well seasoned. The jollof was okay but the fish and plantain made up for it. The service could have been better. We appreciated that we could place our order in advance over the phone. However, when we arrived, we weren't offered a drinks menu and had to ask to order drinks. When our drinks arrived, we were handed a bottle opener instead having the drinks opened for us. After our food arrived, no one checked how we found our food and we waited a while to get their attention for the bill. Overall, it was a positive experience and the manager seemed receptive to our feedback, so we trust it will be actioned for next time. We will be back for our discount 😉

The banga soup was banging.Customer service was top notch. This is just the best African kitchen ever. Highly recommended .

Being Nigerian in cold Cardiff it’s good to have the taste of home on your doorstep, the food and vibes are banging and would recommend to anyone and everyone Welsh, Nigerian or British in general 🥰🥰

Food was great, would definitely recommend to try out.

If you are looking for a delicious nigerian/afro food, Afro lounge is the place to be. Service was great. I will definitely come back again

Excellent service. Was very accommodating of our unique needs

Ambience on point!! Food was delicious and fresh! Service A*!!! Thank you!!!

Very nice staff, amazing authentic experience. Yummy food 😋

Good vibes Good food Good service and just friendly

Fantastic meal. Lovely experience

Sweet plate of food. Good customer service

I recommend everyone to this spot when visiting Cardiff

Jollof rice and meat was spot on, nice n spicy. Suya was good, albeit the 'salad' was dry and not needed, just onion. Pepper soup with meat, the soup was too 'watery' and the only meat was sharkey. It had a kick though. Efo riro was nice albeit too oily. Overall it was a nice meal.

Really worth the detour, having decided to pop into Afro Lounge on the way back to Bristol from attending the theatre at millenium centre in Cardiff Bay. Really nice communication from proprietors of the restaurant via facebook when asking queries about facilities. I brought my mum in as a treat for her and they were accomodating and helpful in answering questions about menu and making us welcome even though she decided we would sit but then have dishes made up to take away. Restaurant were fine with this. Dishes were really well made, lovely and hot temperature and very well packed to enable us to transport safely home to Caldicot and Bristol respectively. Reviews of food specifically the Efo riro was gorgeous locust beans and choppo really nice texture, very spicy which was nice for us. Eba perfect texture and very nicely wrapped. Jollof nice party style smokiness but not too dry well seasoned, meat a fair amount, could always be more. Suya absolutely beautiful texture, salad a bit redundant but generous touch. Cucumber a bit gross once impacted by heat of suya, possibly best to pack separately in future? Asun just so brilliant, really generous portion and so well seasoned, i will definitely be back for more of that! Fried rice with fish was bought for 3rd party and recieved a bit of a lukewarm response, they questioned quality of fish and found it unexpectedly spicy. The plantain side dish was also a little disappointing but then that is probably prefer my plantain sweeter and a bit more fried whereas i suspect they lightly fry green plantain rather than yellow which is fine if your preference. Ginger beer also lovely, but so many drinks on menu I really wanted to try if wasnt driving. Overall glad we stopped by. It was quite expensive but felt worth it.

My first time and It was spectacular... tasted like HOME. A MUST VISIT
