Rice was okay, but How can you serve rice with boiled chicken not even fried. It was just ridiculous. The service was very awful, never going back. Told me I had to pay additional £1 to dine in which was ridiculous. Disgraceful

I used to be a regular here before I moved away. I was in the area visiting family, so thought I would pick some food up to take home as we always really enjoyed it. I did not recognise the woman that served me today, but she was a little unfriendly at best. She charged me £12 for a dish that on the menu was £10. I tried to politely query this, and she said that's not our prices. I pointed out its from the menu. She refused to engage and wouldn't make eye contact and moved on to the next customer. If it was the case that the paper menu prices were out of date, she could have just said that. It came across unwelcoming. on a positive note the food still tastes great, but the puff puffs were half the size they used to be.

Shocking. Ordered assorted meat but probably received the leftovers before they closed today. Meat wasn’t meat as it was chewy hard skin of animals that you couldn’t even tell what it was. Taste of the rice was pretty bland but spicey. I’ve ate better, wouldn’t order again. Well overpriced for the quality.

If I can give 0 star I would. The meat was barely cooked chewy and had uncooked (inedible bits) and just when I thought I'll use only the soup (and removed the meat). I found a large piece of PLASTIC!!!! Terrible!!!!

Do yourself a favor and eat here. The food is interesting and different, but over all, incredibly good. I wish I lived closer to Colchester so I could come more often. The atmosphere is great and the staff are very welcoming and efficient, they make you feel like home. The prices were very, very affordable. Can't possibly recommend this place more, what are you waiting for?

The jollof rice and grilled fish was extremely tasty, freshly cooked, well seasoned, and generous in portion. Great presentation! I cannot wait to taste more of their offerings, particularly their soups. The customer service was friendly and responsive. Honestly, the best jollof rice I've tasted outside Nigeria! If you are visiting Colchester or the surrounding areas, make sure you stop by Chez Afrique! There's also an African Caribbean grocery next door with a multitude of options. Highly recommend!

We have ordered food from chez afrique three times. Firstly for our meet&greet event, secondly for our Christmas dinner and for our summer social . The portion sizes were really good each time and everyone really enjoyed the food - the Jollof rice especially! The price is decent as well and you get really good value for money.

Came with a friend after a nice day out wanting to try something different. Unfortunately it wasn't great. The waitress seemed so uninterested and bored, very poor communication and just seemed to want to be elsewhere, the menu was very confusingly layed out and made little to no sense,l and the takeaway computer was singing at max volume constantly so it was very difficult to have a peaceful meal. still the puff puffs where good, though I think I'll be going elsewhere next time

Customer service is pretty basic as is the food. The jolloff rice and meat tasted okay. But has a strange smell to it. The puff puff was soaked in oil. It was quite long winded to place an order via Uber eats. So eventually we called up to order. They were out of most items and eventually we just called and placed the order for collection. I wouldn’t order from them in the future. The food was really not that great. I’m giving 2 stars mainly due to Large portions.

Had the worst experience with this restaurant. I placed an order that didn’t come for basically 3 hours because “a driver already took the food” I had to call Deliveroo for them to call the restaurant to make a new order since I hadn’t received any. I tried calling the restaurant back but it seemed they’d blocked my number as the call kept disconnecting. When I finally received my order, it was missing 3 items which were the ones I was looking forward to the most. Not giving them 1 star because the bits of the order I did receive was nice. But considering I had to wait for hours for this order, the very least the restaurant could have done was GIVE ME MY COMPLETE ORDER

Don't bother ordering on online, they always decline the order. Food always salty and tastless. Hygien is questionable. My partner used to buy from them as they were the only African restaurant close by. If there are other choices I would advise all to avoid this place. Better African food out there. One star is even too good for this place.

Lovely little taste of Africa. After Google recommended this to me I put it on my 'want to go' list and today was the day! Popped in for lunch, It was quiet when we entered and we were greeted by a lovely young lady at the counter. We sat down and looked over the menus but I ultimately asked for a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. I had the jollof rice with mixed meats (chicken and beef), lovely. My buddy had the Nigerian red stew with white rice and plantain which he really enjoyed too. It's decorated with colourful pictures and wooden planks of dark woods. Maybe a little highly priced but it's a good size portion and great food so I'd says it's worth it. Ill definitely be back for more, and soon. They seem to be on just eat and deliveroo too but I'd suggest popping in if you can.

I have always gone to this restaurant because the food is %100 authentic with the original ingredients. The staff are so polite and welcoming I have never even thought of looking elsewhere for my meal. What makes it even better is the supermarket next door that have some items in stock that are impossible to find anywhere but in Africa.

Food is alright but the delivery came an hour and half after I ordered! And I called to ask where the food was and the person who answered did not apologise for being late also when she read out my order she missed out a dish and did not explain why it was missing until I asked her. She then replied saying they had run out and she wanted to call me to say but they did not! That means if I did not call and ask I would not have known & would have received my order over an hour and half late with some missing. No apologises from the delivery driver either.

I like African food, and would try this place again: you certainly get the typical African warm welcome when you walk in. That being said, I tried the Jollof Rice, Plantain, and Assorted Meat: medium heat. The rice was nice and spicy, the plantain was sweet, but I did find the meat a little tough - and the big chunks of meat were a challenge in a takeaway, they could have been cut up smaller to make them easier to eat. Overall though, this was a nice change to the usual takeaway restaurant food, at a reasonable price, and I will be going there again to see how the other dishes perform.

We went here for a catch up lunch with friends. I booked in advance and was told we could only stay until 14.30 due to there being a wedding taking place. I really appreciated this communication in advance as it allowed us to manage our visit so thank you Vicky. I thought the venue, food and atmosphere was first class and beat my expectation. I would especially like to mention Oscar and Iris for all of their help and kindness. For young members of staff they are both a credit to this establishment and made an already great visit even better. We live over 50 miles away from the Whalebone so it won’t be a regular visit for us, but I can assure you I will return when planning a visit. Well done all involved.

This place is everything a pub should not be. The staff are miserable, the beer (says my husband) is dreadful, and then there's the agreesive atmosphere, which is awful. We will NEVER visit here again. What a waste of a good location. This pub clearly needs new owners.
