Afro Lounge in Cardiff

I ordered okro soup and it tasted so bad. Didn’t look or taste like Nigerian okro. Looks like it was cooked with regular oil instead of palm oil or something. Very disappointing bcos if i spend money, I deserve my moneys worth.

We had a great time at Afro lounge, the food was very nice, seasoned well and came just in time too. We had a great waiter TJ who gave us a free birthday cake on the house. Also the atmosphere was great with the live music

The Jellof rice is horrible!! They gave me only 1 turkey instead of two.

Good food, great service. Highly recommend.

Overpriced. Very small portions.

The seafood was delicious! Tasty and sweet🤗🤗🤗I’m definitely getting it again! 😌😌😌

I would say Afro Lounge was actually better than I thought it would be. The food didn’t take long to be made, and to my surprise, the Egusi Soup was really delicious and tested really authentic. The pounded yam was good and well made. The atmosphere was comfy, chill, and relaxed. With lots of menu options, I also tried the white soup; it was decent and tasted more like pepper soup. Great service. Decent price. Delicious food. I recommend.

First time trying Nigerian food and it was incredible!! Beautiful place, great music and so friendly! Would definitely recommend!! Thank you again I will definitely be back with more mouths to feed! Xx

Wonderful service, with a touch of Naija energy. Wonderful evening at home away from home. Lovely service.

Great experience here, service was super friendly and fast, atmosphere was lovely with great music and people dancing a little. Food was good, first time trying fufu and poundo with one of their stews/ curries and tasted great, even tho I burnt my hands a little trying to pick it up. Probably not the best stew/ curry they have though as I chose a vegetable base one which the server tried to caution me out of but tasty nonetheless. Also tried the jollof rice with turkey, although this tasted a little burnt? Might just be the differences in jollof we've tried though so can also appreciate it nonetheless. Definitely check this place out! Prices are a lot more reasonable than some in Cardiff wanting £20 for poundo and soup which is absurd

A wonderful place to eat amala and gbegiri and ewedu with assorted meat ,it's so nice.

Excellent service, excellent food. The toilets could do with a bit more attention, but otherwise, a lovely place for authentic Nigerian food!

Afro lounge is located in a serene environment. A great menu to taste and excellent customer service.

Good food, good vibes! Very friendly staff!

The food was really nice and tasty. Really good service and atmosphere.

The food is great their seafood okro is amazing; great atmosphere nice music and wonderful service. I enjoyed my time there…

Food was outstanding, very polite nice atmosphere

Nice restaurant Good price Neat restaurant Good food

Lovely place and the food was nice. I recommend.

Delicious food…..Awesome ambience….live music

You’ll never get a better experience. The place is surreal. Enjoyed every minute here. The atmosphere is next to none. It absolutely takes nothing away from the food, but the atmosphere is amazing.

Live band + great people = The best vibes

Best place to chill with good music and food that makes you feel the Naija vibe, love it and will be visiting again.

Lovely hospitality. Amazing authentic food. Would recommend the jollof rice and asun (spicy goat). On the popular Whitchurch road, always parking available on the street after 6pm

I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food

Personally , I have had great Nigerian food in Cardiff, this place cannot be added to the list. Service and food poor quality. Food arrived one hour late subsequently food was cold by the time it arrived. Jellof rice was burnt and overall standard is shocking.

Food is too pricey here for a small portion

Afro lounge food is the best African food have ever eat in Cardiff

Nice place, and the food is absolutely delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Worst place to eat Africa food. Bad experience for me. I ordered food yesterday and 31£ was a waste for me

**Afro Lounge** Afro Lounge is a hidden gem that I had the pleasure of visiting during my first time in Cardiff, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! I ordered the poundo and egusi, and it was nothing short of a 10/10. The food was so delicious that it completely won me over—I started eating with a spoon, trying to keep it posh, but eventually gave in and used my hands, which made the experience even more authentic and satisfying. The atmosphere of the restaurant was absolutely lovely. It had a welcoming and vibrant vibe that made me feel at home, even though I was miles away from it. The staff were attentive, and the service was excellent, which added to the overall great experience. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is the toilet facilities, as they could use some attention to match the exceptional standards of the food and ambience. Overall, Afro Lounge is a fantastic spot to enjoy authentic Nigerian cuisine, and I’m truly impressed. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in Cardiff again. Highly recommended!

yum good, arrived quick. helpful servers :)

Attended this restaurant for my birthday and was disappointed with both the food and service. Wouldnt recommend

Neatness and delicacies was stupendous .... experience felt like home More work

Good African food. Soup been a few days in the freezer, but honest enough to say so before ordering. A lady who served-didnt catch her name- was fantastic. Kudos.

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.

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?

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

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!

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.😁

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.

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

Nice variety of dishes, very exciting food

Best Nigerian foods in Cardiff Good customer service

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

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

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

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

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 🩷

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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 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 ideal spot for any of your west African cuisine desires

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

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

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

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 😋

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

Plantain and sauce was spicy, tasty and nice.

Swift service and friendly welcome.

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