The best restaurants serving African food in West Midlands

We were a small family group out to celebrate a Birthday. This is an African / English restaurant that specialises in African dishes. This being because the owner / chef is English but with African connections and having spent some considerable time there. We all selected an African dish, the food is amazing and each dish was themed to a particular African Country and is all cooked with fresh ingredients on the premises. The staff are all very efficient, pleasant and friendly which made it great night out. I think this was their 1st opening night since the virus lock down and they ask for advance bookings only which is very sensible at present. It is quite ironic that this restaurant is next door to 99 Station Street, an award winning English Restaurant, I expect that Inspirations will soon follow !

This is a great restaurant, the staff cannot do enough for you and make you feel comfortable from the go get. The food was delicious 😋. We had never tried Ethiopian food before, we were very impressed. This place is a must.

Absolutely excellent restaurant. We came on the off chance midweek, and what a pleasant surprise. The food was of a superb standard and mirrored being in Portugal, the service was outstanding and it was very reasonably priced. Definitely definitely definitely will be going back again. Thank you to everyone at the restaurant for a fabulous experience.

This was a great find. It’s a neighbourhood place with guys playing pool, so I didn’t know what to expect. They cooked me a delicious fuul dish with freshly warmed baguettes. Then an amazing Ethiopian coffee, (similar to Turkish coffee) together with incense! Very helpful staff too. Worth a trip

Great place 😍 I can’t describe how much delicious the food was 😊😊😊 the quantity was little but the food was soooo yummy mashallah I felt bled vibes in every dish 🇩🇿. We ordered tajin hlou bastila ( chicken) bourak and kid meal (chips and nuggets) Plus one msemen I couldn’t resist 😝 We end it with beautiful Moroccan tea 🍵😊. Bill was 50£ very reasonable price for all what we ordered, the place decoration it’s another world 🌍 you like quick trip to North Africa 😘. Service not very friendly but professional and polite. Hygiene food restaurant room and tables 10/10 everything clean . I loved it and i definitely highly recommend it .

Buena comida. Gran ambiente. Buen personal. Muy recomendable! Grandes precios también. Solo £ 5 por delicioso pollo shawarma

Loved our meal here, service excellent and food delicious. The Blue Nile Sharer for two people was more than enough for a big lunch.

Reservamos Savanna para una comida de cumpleaños el sábado, tuvimos deliciosa comida eritrea / etíope para compartir con algunos entrantes y lados inspirados en la fusión de sartenes. Absolutamente me encantó este restaurante, el servicio era increíble y nos atendió la encantadora Dee. Ya hemos reservado una mesa para mi cuñada cumpleaños. ¡No puedo esperar!

Disfrutamos cada minuto allí. Amable, buenos servicios al cliente, buena comida africana y la música era fantástica. Buen aparcamiento disponible

Probé este restaurante recientemente con un grupo de 5 amigos y no sabíamos qué esperar. Pedimos una vasta cantidad de comida para la mesa y un montón de cerveza africana. La comida era increíblemente fresco, emocionante y con sabor a la perfección. El servicio era fantástico era como estar en la casa de alguien. El dueño era encantador y muy servicial al sugerir platos para probar y traernos extra alas de pollo en la demanda (fácilmente las alitas de pollo más sabroso que he comido). Este restaurante es realmente algo que tiene que probar: 10/10 por la comida, servicio y precio.

Me encontré con Jeun restaurante, en Tokaj Factory en Birmingham y ahora es uno de mis restaurantes favoritos! Me saludó calurosamente el propietario, el ambiente y el olor a comida casera africana. La decoración era lo primero que estaba bawled por, luces, increíbles obras de arte y los intrincados diseños de los cojines en cada asiento. pedí mi - jollof plato de arroz nigeriano favorita, con efo, plátano y pollo. me animaría a cualquiera Jeun al menos una vez, no importa su fondo! Hay una gran variedad de comida para todos los gustos y el personal es muy amable y acogedor. Sin duda seguir visitando Jeun!

This place is a joke honestly countless times they just take the mick. Went for the half price roast dinner yes of course it was a discount but doesn’t mean you take the piss, one tiny quarter leg of chicken, 3 green beans, 3 carrots, 2 roast potatoes, 1 stuffing ball, a measly portion of mac and cheese it looked nothing like it did on instagram and TikTok! Yes I wasn’t expecting the exact same I’m not stupid but it was so stingy! And if you’re wondering why I didn’t complain it’s because it took over an hour to get two chicken roast dinners, and the table next to us who came later (party of 3) had their roast dinners before us. They either forgot or just thought they’ll take the piss with two girls. So at this point I was too hungry and just wanted to eat, luckily I didn’t have to pay full price for that it was a joke. Why do a promotion when you can’t meet demand or give some dead portions? You can see from the video the plate looks empty, like it’s a chicken place and the chicken piece I got was soo tiny at least give more chicken for a roast dinner wtf. Absolutely pathetic. And no updates given on wait time staff just ignore you, employ more kitchen staff very very disappointed I bet they won’t even take this review seriously.

Kiran was very nice service ok Food On Demand orders came first which is a shame Food pleasent, room cold no atmosphere xx

Service is not the greatest, but the reason I have decided to ignore that and give them 5 stars is because it is the Best Nigerian food I have had in the UK.

Very disappointing indeed! My family love this place. Was planning a visit for a while. Finally found the time to pay a visit, we checked out the website and times of closing. I constantly tried to call the number on the website . (at least 6times) any way we still decided to visit, as it said 6pm on website we started our journey ( 60 mile round trip) Was very excited when we arrived, walked inside, there was a few people at tables, the band practicing, a lady, blonde hair not sure of she was host or waitress ignored us for a few minutes, I went over and asked if we could get some drinks, she said sharply we are closing at 3pm today, was quite shocked and replied, oh website advised 6pm (time now a little after 3pm) she snapped back, NOT TODAY, the manners and attitude threw me a little.(she seemed under pressure and short tempered)I tried to explain, it would ne good for potential customers making a long journey to visit, if you kept the website updated or at least answer the phone. There's a right way & wrong way to speak to people, she was very rude indeed. Has we was leaving, a member of the band asked what was wrong, I told him what had happened. Okay, I get private function was on that day, but even after all that, it's how you treat people, Some times ITS NOT WHAT YOU SAY, ITS HOW YOU SAY IT!!
