The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving African food

Went with my partner great food 10/10 experience. Thankful for the owners very nice people

loved it! staff are super friendly!

My first time at Nando's, and it was amazing! Incredibly delicious! 😍 Why don't you sell your food and sauces in Germany?

Food was good as always but our service was incredible by our man Darren. We've been here and had him as our server multiple times and he's always so attentive and friendly. We love to see Darren

We have been recommended by a friend and I have to say that we loved it. At first we were surprised by having to eat the typical bread with our hands, but you get used to it quickly. We also wanted to try the Ethiopian coffee, seeing what the "ceremony" they do for you is like. It is a coffee with a stronger taste than the typical English ones, but somewhat less than in Spain. The service has been fantastic and they have been very attentive to us, just mentioning that it is quite slow, so you have to go slowly to eat.

The food was really nice as always and the staff were really friendly

Food was tasteless. Efo was just like boiled spinach in a watery stew!

Khadija was so sweet and quick, lovely service from her

This is one of the better nandos they have in their collection.

I went to Nando’s this afternoon for lunch,it was quite busy but we were still served quite quickly. The staff are friendly. I tried the Fanta x Nando’s 1/4 chicken. It was a lovely pairing,the chicken was delicious and cooked really well. The Fanta sauce was delicious too,it was fruity and not spicy in the slightest. Tbh,I haven’t had that many of the sauces at Nando’s because I tend to go for lemon and herb but now because I loved the Fanta x Nando’s sauce I’m not sure what I will go for next time. The chips were tasty and the mash was creamy and yummy. The portion was reasonable and the presentation was fantastic. They also offer a great gluten free range of options here too. The decor in here is lovely too. I would highly recommend this branch for a post Cinema,during shopping or a post bowling meal(Hollywood Bowl opens in a couple of months in the Chimes shopping centre). This place does get busy so don’t be disappointed if you can’t get a table but fortunately there are other restaurants such as Wagamama,Bella Italia,Morello Lounge and more within walking distance. If you aren’t able to get a table and the sweet tooth wants to be more active in the decision I would recommend Gooey Waffle or Creams Cafe(both on Belmont Road near the Bus station),both places serve up fantastic desserts. It is located just outside the Chimes shopping centre by the exit of TK MAXX.

Lovely authentic Nigerian food, would highly recommend

This use to be my go to restaurant on a Friday. I was here last Friday, I ordered fried yam, the sauce was excessively spicy, I have ordered this multiple times before with no issues. The food was ok, large portions, I asked for a container for my left overs and was charged £1.50 for 1 container. This has never been the case in the past. The manager seem to be in a bad mood, there was no sign to say we will charge you for container. I will not be returning here, I will be exploring other African restaurants for my Friday outings.

I was in Linwood depot tonight, for the first time , and was very gratefully to the young girl (staff ) who i never asked her name, who was a great help ordering my food, she was lovely and chatty, i had said to her i lossed my wife a few weeks ago and i got upset and she was so comforting and ask me if i was ok and asked to give me a hug i said yes , now how thoughtful was that ? . a special thanks to her it just shows there are lovely people out there working in nando,s linwood all i know it is her birthday tomorrow 10/3/25 so happy 19th birthday to you THANK YOU Jim

I was promised a restaurant with Benin food and I got this🤮🤮🖕😡

Disappointed & Let Down – Won’t Be Returning We visited this restaurant yesterday after a friend recommended it, and we made the trip all the way from Canary Wharf expecting a nice meal and good vibes. Unfortunately, while the food itself was decent, the customer service absolutely ruined the experience. The woman who served us made it very clear she didn’t want to be there — and made us feel the same. From the moment we walked in, her attitude was cold, unwelcoming, and borderline rude. Asking her simple questions felt like we were bothering her, and every interaction was met with a miserable expression and complete lack of professionalism. We genuinely considered walking out, but having driven all that way with our two small kids, we decided to stay — something we now regret. To make things worse, we weren’t told until the very end that it’s a cash-only establishment. That kind of important information should be clearly communicated before the order is taken — not after we’ve eaten. When my husband expressed his frustration about this, the server interrupted him mid-sentence, took the money, and literally walked away while he was still speaking. Incredibly rude and disrespectful. We weren’t looking for a confrontation, just some basic courtesy and communication. After reading other reviews, it’s clear we’re not the only ones who’ve experienced this poor treatment. The same person has been mentioned before, which makes me wonder how or why she’s still working there. Family connection, maybe? Regardless, we won’t be coming back — no meal is worth that kind of treatment. If the management cares about their reputation, they should seriously reconsider who they allow to represent their business.
