The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving African food

The food was delicious, I enjoyed every bit of it. Steak was amazing the service was very good and so was the atmosphere.

Great vegan gluten free options

Food was ok, not really an atmosphere service was order at till get food sent to table, no small talk

I have absolutely no idea how or why this place gets good reviews - it's like they're all reviewing a different restaurant! The food here was simply terrible. Starters were not too bad, although the waitress struggled to understand the difference between 'hot' and 'cold'. Our table was under a bright white neon light that might have been appropriate for a nasty surgical procedure but was not exactly gentle and welcoming for a cozy dinner. Still, we could live with all that... except the main course was truly dreadful. I had a lamb stew which turned out to be bits of greasy meat swimming in some sort of grey liquid, and the veggie stuff was either tasteless or actually unpleasant. The guy that runs the place was perfectly friendly but nobody cleared away our (largely uneaten) plates for what seemed like an age and the waitress, though also friendly and smiley, seemed to have disappeared altogether. Nor was it cheap - nearly £80 for two - which was just a joke really. I love Ethiopian food, but this place - never again.

Love the food in this place, but the reason only giving 2 stars is because , as advertised they are supposed to be open for breakfast from 09.30, i have called three times now around 9.30/10 and never anything ready!! When you travel some distance and take time from your working day , you expect services to be available as advertised!!

Fantastic food - freshly made and full of authentic flavour and spice. Options for vegetarians, vegans and omnivores. African beers too...and all served with good humour and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. It’s only small so best to book!

Went here for a saturday date after walking past many times. Booked for 9pm as only slot available. Ordered starters and mains. Starters took an hour to appear- chicken skewers awesome but flat bread dry and dreadful. Mains appeared about 30 mins later, some aspects great but peanut curry was so bland and pap with main was so dry!!! Won't bother again

Lovely food and service! Our waitress was Aki and she couldn’t do enough to accommodate us and make us feel comfortable!!

I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the young lady Farhiya and the gentleman (possibly the owner?) who went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. This review is a few weeks late, but I felt compelled to share. We had a toddler with us who, as toddlers do, made a bit of a mess. Both of these staff members handled the situation with such kindness and grace. They not only cleaned up quickly but even moved us to a different spot, turning a stressful moment into one where we felt completely comfortable and welcomed. Their warmth and understanding truly meant a lot to us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. On top of that, the overall atmosphere of this restaurant is fantastic. It has a genuine, family-like vibe, with everyone smiling and creating such a lovely environment. The space was immaculate, the service was quick, and the food was absolutely top-notch. Huge thanks to the entire team—you can tell everyone here works together to make it special!

Ate here yesterday evening for the first time for a family birthday. We were really impressed with the quality and flavour of the food, we tried a variety of small plates and shared a tagine, all of which were superb. The small dining room had a lovely ambience and was busy for a rainy Monday which was great to see. The service from Em was brilliant, she also gave a nice wine recommendation that was at the lower end of the price range which is refreshing. Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic, amazing service food was lovely. Staff were friendly and most welcoming. 6 of us ate here all ordered different things all was served beautifully.

Delightful tapas. We had a nice variety of dishes, and staff was very attentive to gluten intolerance of one of our party. We especially enjoyed the tortillas espanol and baked mozzarella aubergine, as well as the garlic mushrooms and patatas brava.

Good place, shame that all shareholders let a guy who has zero interest and experience in dealing with customers, who bullies the staff, really embarrassing! I would not recommend this place, especially if you have to deal with so called manager of the pub. Had a great night, but he interacted and told staff off for making a drink I asked for, when I interacted he became extremely rude, lesson for management- people come there to spend money not to be told off.

Had a wonderful meal here for my birthday. Absolutely wonderful food, fantastic coffee and the staff were so friendly and warm. It is clearly a hub in the community and it was charming to watch the owner interact with all the customers. Will definitely come again!

We went to Stork restaurant in Mayfair. It was a treat from my daughter for my birthday. We were welcomed by the team and looked after by Chris. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you all for a lovely lunch! We would certainly recommend dining at Stork.
