The best restaurants serving African food in England

Fantastic restaurant, friendly, attentive staff, really helpful and knowledgeable about the food and its qualities. Both starters and mains were incredible, left feeling full and impressed.

We travelled to Cambridge and my young son was extremely keen to try Africfood given the reviews. What a terrible experience. For £7.50 you get one piece of goat ' meat' ( bone surrounded by a minuscule amount of meat) with a lot of rice. He was extremely disappointed and I was kind of furious. This is really a bit of a scam. In a market with lots of amazing food stalls, why would anyone spend their money here for a ridiculous amount of goat curry.

I absolutely loved this place! It's so colourful and engaging and it has a very wide array of vegan food options. I loved the Africando. The prices are also a great rarity in London in still being actually affordable! I will try and make it back whenever I am next in Brixton.

Outside Lula’s Restaurant, Close to Oxford station, Hoping for a table, To eat some Ethiopian, But sadly they’re fully booked, That must mean it’s really good, And so I’ll sit and wait for my friend, And write a poem or two.

What a wonderful authentic Ethiopian atmosphere, just like being in Piassa or Arat killo in Addis Ababa. I was amazed by the qualities of the food and by the very welcoming service. Definitely we will come back here. Fisseha/ ፍስሐ

Great reviews. Interesting menu. Make a booking online. Turned up. Restaurant closed. Looked as though it had been closed a while. Went to Aluna instead. Had a great meal. Advice - call to make a booking, don't rely on online.

Excellent food, Hatem the chef is very friendly and goes out of his way to make us feel welcome. He is passionate about his place of origin and it shows in his culinary skills.

Gorgeous, good quality food. The service was really friendly and beautifully presented. This was the second season we’ve visited.

Such a good meal! Very well seasoned meat. The fries were so good too. The mac balls were insane! Basically all round super yummy food! We all enjoyed our meals (table of 9) The service was great! Staff attentive & smiley. Highly recommend :)

Amazing little takeaway! The food is full of flavour and is a great way to try something new! We will definitely be going back as soon as possible

A lovely welcoming cafe, the food was delicious, we ordered toasties ,chips and a pot of tea for 2. The service fantastic too 😊

Wonderful delicious food, friendly service. A particular highlight is the Ethiopian coffee ceremony which is not to be missed.

I visited Saucy Flo's with my wife on one of it's steak nights. We both had the Galican fillet and I can honestly say it was the best steak I have ever eaten. The quality of the local produce is amazing and coupled with the reasonable price, it just can't be beaten. It's rare to get such a great standard of food and good portions too. The waiting staff were so friendly and there was a lovely informal atmosphere. But the star of the show was definitely the food! We just about had enough room for puddings and managed to squeeze in a peach and blackberry cobbler and a chocolate brownie and both were delicious. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We would TOTALLY agree with the One review. A gem of a find. It has been a very long time since we have enjoyed such finger-licking (yes, we had the tiger prawns; exceptional, as were the samosas!) unpretentious, tasty, expertly prepared, top quality food, for a very reasonable price. All freshly prepared, as we waited. Met with a warm welcome, with an abundance of enthusiasm to check we were enjoying our flavoursome Portuguese fayre. Our taste buds had a full workout! Our hosts are rightfully proud of their mama’s culinary skills and the evident love and care she lavishes on her creations. The menu is simple, but powerful. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you for making my husband’s birthday lunch an absolute delight. Obrigado! Tina & family

Esta es la 4ª vez que he visitado. Siempre tengo el plato vegetariano seguido de café. El chef asa los frijoles ella misma mientras comes. Maravillosa variedad de gustos. Bien vale la pena la visita! !
