The best restaurants serving African food in City of London, Westminster London

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.

I used often when in town , always had a great meal . Only worry was my middle , but still get mouth watering thoughts. thinking about oxtail with jallof. Fast food perfect . Not a sit down . More of an on the go type

Mi primera visita a este café restaurante, para probar algo de comida eritrea. Buena elección de comida estándar de Londres o algo del continente africano. Amplio espacio aireado, buen servicio y muy “Caledonian Road”. Un corto viaje en autobús de Kings Cross a Story Street parada de autobús en 17 , 91 o 259 autobuses. Si te gusta encontrar gemas escondidas por Londres, prueba Sophe

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

La mejor cocina de la ciudad. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestros asados dominicales, cócteles, esponja de árbol especiado 🫰🏼 - se puede decir que los chefs realmente cuidan de su oficio. Muy recomendable.

They had almost nothing on the menu

Pedimos esto directamente a nandos - verde madera. El pollo parecía como si fuera una pieza vieja o se había vuelto a calentar un par de veces. La ensalada de col sabía mal. No vuelvas a pedir desde esta sucursal.

The best place for shisha. The service is excellent, especially the polite Libyan man (Farid). Also the food is delicious and clean.

made the mistake of following the guardian's review of this african restaurant. i always follow their culinary reviews of london's restaurants. nowhere else, to me london is the whole country (been here 20 years). i am sad to announce that the meal was a disaster! to hope that in the middle of knighsbridge a restaurant this poor could survive longer than months is a pious dream. and it has, i believe they opened in 2022. i firstly booked via opentable. only availability was at 2pm. i later called and moved it to 1pm. go figure. when we got there, us two, place was deserted. nobody, no tables taken. a nigerian waitress welcomed us in tentative english and took our coats. a harbinger of the quality of the restaurant was that she hunged the two coats behind the till's chair! i mean, if this is their cloak room then we could have simply kept them behind our own chairs. we were shown to a table and noticed straight away there were no africans in sight, all staff but one were asians. another bad sign. a nigerian restaurant served by asians?? again, we noticed that most table were prepared with the cutlery wrongly set, very often seen in african settings where staff simply has no clue on how to set it. they have no idea forks go on the left and knivs on the right! none. we then ordered: fried yam ayamase ofada stew butterfly grill seabass acqua panna btl nigerian fanta a plate with two "puff puff" came as appetisers. admittedly very good. ayamase, we asked with white rice. yes of course, they said. it came with brown rice. seabass was ok, but please remember seabass does not exist in nigerian cuisine! drinks were hard to get it wrong, nigerian fanta is not proper fanta. a totally different drink and taste but it's ok, wife tells me west africans love different sodas. all in all a disaster. we spent £70. let me finish by saying that in this postcode, where patrons are used to an extremely high level of service and quality a place like this hopefully will NOT survive and it makes you wonder how could they, no patrons on a tuesday's lunch?? no, something is very wrong here.

Complete waste of time. Not ideal for a group. Very disorganised and you are not guaranteed you will get what you ordered. Watch your bill carefully. We ordered food which was never delivered. But we were billed for it. I wouldn't recommend this place.
