The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving African food

The first time there, 5 minutes from the Marylebone station and it was so convenient. After a long day of fasting , it was a delight to be able to go and sit there to enjoy authentic Egyptian food. The desert was the best! The lentil soup was amazing too. Falafel made of fava beans was a surprise since we’d eastern chickpeas falafel until now. Great service by the lovely family, they gave us a table even though we hadn’t booked. But best to book beforehand as it can get full!

Loved the lamb tagine. Very reasonably price and delicious food.

Wish I was getting paid for this review but (fortunately for everyone reading) I'm not! :) Food was incredibly good, ordered both chicken and kofta tagines, amazing taste and both served piping hot! Everything was delicious and presentation was also top class, for every single dish served. All had its own flavour and taste, even the salad was wonderful to eat. Definitely recommend the falafel starters, tasted perfecly fresh and not too dry. The half-chicken was very tender and super easy to eat, as well as the chicken tagine. If I had to recommend only one dish, (I would suggest the entire menu) I'd choose kofta tagine and rice. Super fresh tasting ingredients and very light and easy to eat, not heavy on the stomach. Starters came out around 10-12 minutes after ordering (restaurant wasn't busy), and mains came out pretty soon after. Wonderful service and everything was fast and deliciously hot and tasty. Definitely will find any excuse to return to Plymouth to eat here again, and will be bringing more friends to try food here. Compliments to the chef!!!

Great place - had cow feet, was great

Myself and my husband ordered food from here to take away and oh my goodness were we impressed! I had the jollof rice, coleslaw, chicken and plantain and it was the yummiest I’ve ever had. My husband (who is Nigerian and fancied a home cooked meal) ordered the poundo yam and egusi and was thoroughly impressed and really enjoyed it. We would be willing to come to Bournemouth purposely to eat this again. No faults.

It never disappoints. Went fir a Mother's Day brunch. Food was great, love the atmosphere. Restaurant is clean, staff are friendly.

Nice food as always, quite busy branch but helpful staff, environment is quite nice, close to Windsor castle, main issue is the parking as it is quite expensive in this area as expected.

After ordering we spent 40 minutes waiting for our appetisers and only 1 of 5 occupied tables actually getting food in that time. The waitress came over at the 40 minute point and wanted to confirm the order. At which point I got up and confirmed with the kitchen if they are now starting our order. To which I was told the chicken takes 30 minutes and it would be with us soon, while looking over their shoulder to see our appetisers hitting the grill. I then told them don't bother I want a refund. The pepsi tasted watered down and the place was cold with people keeping their outdoor jackets on. Given a full refund. My opinion from what I've seen here for a copycat Nando's is they are more interested in online takeaway orders that footfall through the door.

Friendly African bar on the high street in Leicester city center. Warm and accommodating with good music and vibes although can be crowded on saturday nights. Reminds me of home (Lagos, Nigeria).

I am writing this review to express my disappointment with the service I received today at your establishment. At approximately 13:45, I visited your cafe with the intention of purchasing a bag of coffee using a QR code from the app, which entitled me to a complimentary purchase. However, upon presenting the QR code to the employee, a woman with curly hair and glasses, I was met with a rude and dismissive attitude. She looked me up and down as if I had said something outrageous and pointed me towards the coffee bags without any assistance. Furthermore, when I inquired about the available blends of coffee, her response was curt and unhelpful, merely instructing me to "just look." Additionally, when I attempted to explain that the QR code had an expiry date of today, April 24th, 2024, she rudely dismissed my explanation and insisted that it was expired without further consideration. The dismissive attitude and lack of professionalism displayed by your employee left me feeling spoken down upon and insulted. As a customer, I expect to be treated with respect and courtesy, regardless of the circumstances. Unfortunately, this was not the case during my visit today. I understand that mistakes can happen, but I believe it is essential to address and rectify instances of poor customer service promptly. I sincerely hope that you will take this complaint seriously and address the behaviour of your employee to ensure that other customers do not have to endure similar experiences in the future.

Es un poco una tradición ahora que cada vez que voy a Londres tomo una envoltura de falafel de esta pequeña joya. Muy sabroso, muy amable y rápido, así que simplemente perfecto. La ensalada es fresca y las salsas sabrosas, me fui a fuego medio cuando estaba a punto de abordar un tren durante 3 + horas. Mientras estaba sentado en una mesa había otros 3 clientes, así que realmente ocupado para un pequeño, que es una gran señal.

Ate here before attending Madonna concert, food was good, portions size was good, a little over-priced we thought, especially the beer, and wine, but it is London after all, waiter ( Alex ) was brilliant, friendly, efficient, and always smiling, we would eat here again when we attend our next event at the 02...

Honestly this place is great. Location is a bit off the main road but directly by the river walk which is really enjoyable. Their steack selection is brilliant and perfectly cooked. Finally the service is perfectly spot on. Got really disappointed with a local brandy and it was replaced with something immediately. Will be really happy to come back.

Pleasant driver,the food was fresh,hot and very tasty.

Very nice food and polite staff. I will recommend
