The best restaurants serving African food in East Midlands

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

My friends were surprised to see the level and the quality of the service. Amazing foods and really recommend without hesitation this restaurant. It’s the finest African restaurant in Nottingham.

Best African Restaurant in Leicester, This restaurant met my highest expectations of what a African Restaurant should look like, 100% chance of coming again 😋

Found the Passion Blend & Hind Bar because it’s a Cask Marque pub. Just across the (very busy) road from the Railway Station. What a find. Fabulous real ale, a great atmosphere, welcoming staff. I didn’t get a chance to eat here, but the menu of Afro-Caribbean food looks fantastic. Next time I hope. Well worth a visit.

I had the suya and it was the best I’ve had, feels like Nigeria again after a long time, I would really recommend this restaurant as it is just worth trying

Full of flavour, hearty food and massive portions! Really friendly service. Great veggie options but the meat is very tasty. I would recommend getting a mixed veggie and meat platter this is big enough to share with two people, this consists of a range of stew/curry piles on a pancake like bread you scoop up the curry with. The meat options are a little on the expensive side but you get a lot and the quality is great for the price. Would also recommend the mango juice and the beers are very good too. Can be quite spicy so maybe ask about leaving the spicy options out if this is something your sensitive to.The decor and atmosphere isn't what you would go here for but the quality of food more than makes up for it.

Really sweet people here. Great if you want a different cultural experience. Sells South African groceries as well.

Great food to eat. Very good price too. Eaten here a few times and recommend it definitely

Good smart place and good music 🎶 🎵 👌 ♥ . Would love to visit also some other time for breakfast and lunch. Thanks for the good service Rumanah.

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.

Pretty poor - queue at the door, loads of uncleared tables, slow food, no service, ran by kids.

My husband bought me the okra soup with 4 meats and pounded yam as takeaway. It's the worst okra soup I have eaten. It was green okra with some red tomato soup poured on tip. The tomato sauce was tastless, no seasoning. Tasted like warned up canned tomatoes just poured on the okra. The meat was tastless- absolutely no seasoning! This is a fraud for £13. Only the pounded yam was ok. Very disappointed 😞

This restaurant is a hidden gem! The ambiance is warm and inviting, the staff are incredibly attentive, and the food is simply outstanding. Every dish is a delightful balance of flavors and beautifully presented. The menu offers a great variety to cater to different tastes, and the attention to detail is evident in every bite. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!

Best chops around great sauce and reasonably priced. You get 4 pieces and all are of a decent size. Best to go for a meal. All tastes fresh. Highly recommend

A la llegada, me dijeron que me sentara en cualquier lugar. Pasaron 45 minutos antes de que siquiera se le preguntara por bebidas. Tuve que pedir menús y parecía que la mayoría de las cosas “no estaban disponibles”. La comida que “estaba lista” todavía tardó otros 45 minutos en llegar, sin comunicación hasta entonces. Tamaños de porciones decentes, bastante bien presentados. Sin embargo, toda la bandeja se dejó caer en nuestra mesa mientras el personal se fue a reír con sus amigos. Poco después la camarera vino a tirar (literalmente) algunos cubiertos sobre la mesa, junto con algunas miradas sucias. Literalmente tratado como si no fuéramos bienvenidos. El personal desapareció en su mayoría, y tuvimos que seguirlos para pedir la factura. La camarera parecía pensar que el lugar / su trabajo estaba por debajo de ella. fruncir el ceño y chuparle los dientes cuando nos preguntaron si podíamos pagar. Bill no reflejó los precios en el menú, nos tiró la máquina de tarjetas y luego se fue de nuevo para tomar una llamada telefónica. Esperó a que se imprimiera un recibo pero no pasó nada (y Ella no estaba por aquí para pedir uno) así que revisó en la máquina de tarjetas y había varias opciones para obtener un recibo. ¿Empezó a escribir mi dirección de correo electrónico como me pidió, momento en el que regresó y se enojó? ¿Por alguna razón? Cuando le pregunté qué demonios pensaba que estaba haciendo y cuando dije que la máquina me pidió mi correo electrónico para su recibo, ladró que podría haberle pedido uno (¡¿cómo podría haberlo hecho cuando ella no estaba allí?! ). Me quedé asombrado y me disculpé, pero ella se chupó los dientes de nuevo y volvió los ojos, ¡frunciendo el ceño! ¿Cuál era su problema? Todo lo demás podría pasarse por alto, pero esa mujer simplemente arruina el lugar por completo. Nunca más iremos allí.
