The best restaurants serving African food in West Midlands

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.

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

Perfect place to go to for a hot drink before going to O2 for a concert

Very nice food lovely atmosphere and very good service love the place I had greattttt evening will definitely go back many thanks 😊

Amazing food, really friendly service. Brilliant value

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!

Food was 10/10 service even better thanks jay! Will definitely recommend to family and friends 5*****

**** AVOID. Complete difference in taste compared to birmingham… asked for saucy was not and jollof was just rice with leaves on top AVOID AVOID AVOID

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!!

I ordered from here off uber eats, I wouldn't again as they sent me burnt rice stuck to the tray and 3 pieces or beef. Spent quite a bit for that meal just for it to go in the bin as the shop was closed when my order arrived a hour late.

Great Nyama choma with Ugali. Plus Tusker. The Kachumbari was great.Worth a visit! Great for best Kenyan food, which is loved by many even non-Africans
