The best restaurants serving African food in London

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.

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.

Visited at lunchtime for the set menu with wine. This had been on my list for a while to visit and so here is some pros and improvements from my experience: Pros: - Restaurant was clean and inviting and the table well laid out - Food was excellent and the dishes which came out were very tasty Improvements: - The service was slower than expected on the day unfortunately. - The server spoke so quietly when explaining the wine I couldn’t hear them and had to keep asking them to speak up. Voice projection in customer service is so important I feel. - Team members wearing jeans and dirty trainers. Just a personal preference but with fine dining I think smart is preferable. We paid the 17.5% service which equated to over £80. Was the service exceptional to warrant this? No it wasn’t and if I visit again and nothing has changed I wouldn’t pay it.

Es la primera vez que pruebo comida etíope y no decepcionó. Ambiente encantador, la comida era increíble y el servicio de los propietarios era brillante. Teníamos el plato de compartir para dos y la cantidad de comida era genial. Bien vale la pena el viaje desde Kent! Recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que quiera probar la comida tradicional etíope.

Todo fue excelente, una de las mejores comidas que he tenido en mi vida. Todo fue perfecto, desde la comida hasta el servicio. Muy recomendable para todos los amantes de la comida.

Merkamo , 42 Hanbury street , London E 1 Zinash nos mostró nuestra mesa, ella era muy servicial Íbamos a salir a tomar algunas fotos, pero Zinash dijo que podíamos utilizar la planta baja como nadie estaba allí, así que teníamos el lugar para nosotros. nos preguntamos si podemos limpiar después de que hicimos un desastre, pero nos dijeron que no, ya que lo harán, así que volver a nuestra mesa y pedir nuestra comida, la comida era fantástica y dijo que volveremos. en cuanto a Zinash ella es un 5 * no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros No te olvides de darle like a esto y suscribirte , ya que me ayudará a seguir adelante y publicar más videos , un gran agradecimiento por todo lo que se mira en , y que tengas un gran día : )

Disfrutamos de la comida excelente ambiente cálida textura. estamos contentos con la ubicación fácil de llegar

The food was amazing. The service was impeccable. Definitely would recommend them. I had the small trays of Ayamashe, jollof rice, garnished chicken and fried rice (the prawns size - amazing).

Seafood platter was Brilliant! The food portion was reasonable and very tasty we had good customer service too.

Fabulous restaurant great food friendly staff good service and great value will definitely be coming back again. I would highly recommend

Starter - Butternut and ginger with coconut cream soup with side order of coco bread 10/10 delicious 😋 I would have had a second bowl if I could have managed it. Main - Monkfish tail in shellfish sauce with buttery mash, Ma's Benachin Gambian national rice and grilled stem broccoli outstanding.  Gambian rice highly seasoned and not what I was expecting. Still tasty.  Loved it. Dessert - Winter fruit crumble tart with Madagascar vanilla gelato! Struggled to finish but wasn't going to leave a scrap! This was a dining experience to remember. I ticked this off my list of fine dining!  Surpassed all my expectations! Myrtle the manager at Papa L's Kitchen was welcoming, friendly and made my experience enjoyable.  The service was good.  Meecha my server was very attentive. Overall I would highly recommend dining at Papa L's Kitchen.  I will be back.

Waren spät unterwegs und suchten noch was für den Abend. Würden mega überrascht sehr freundlich und bemüht.... Jeder Zeit wieder.

Absolutely delicious food. I would highly recommend checking this place out. Try the mixed vegetarian option with injeera (which is all gluten free by the way!)

Arrived quite late at a nearby hotel and chose this place for a late evening meal. Very warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped through the door, very helpful advising on the menu and the food was amazing. Really glad we called in and can highly recommend.

Excelente café, a muy buen precio, preparado con mucho cariño. Hay un café diferente cada día cada semana, y todo es de origen único y Comercio Justo. Leche de avena, almendra y soja disponible. La leche se espuma perfectamente, es sedosa y suave. El caballero que posee el café es encantador y hace el café con tanto cuidado.
