The best restaurants serving African food in Sheffield Yorkshire and The Humber

A really lovely restaurant with brilliant food and great service. Definitely recommend!

First time here, nice little place, really friendly and polite staff. I had the chicken and falafel wrap, £6 for a medium and it was incredible! I will definitely go again and might be a bit braver with the chilli next time.

A must-visit: consistently delicious meals, and consistently made to feel welcome. Bit of a hidden gem in that you're unlikely to be walking past given the lack of much else to visit on Exchange St in the evening, and even if you are, it would be hard to know what's on offer inside - but it's amazing. Wicked selection of veggie and vegan options - I always go for the veggie sampler platter, which can comfortably feed 3 (if not 4) people, accompanied by one of the Ethiopian/Eritrean lagers they've got in the fridge. Food tastes fresh and is excellent every time. Prices have increased lately but still good value for money. Atmosphere is casual, relaxed and almost cafe-like with music and colourful decor and perfectly wonky pictures on the walls. It also seems to be a popular spot with the local east African community. Feels like a pretty unique dining experience (to me at least), and somewhere I always take visitors to Sheffield.

Delicious, healthy, authentic Ethiopian/Eritrean food at reasonable prices. Welcoming and friendly staff, a taste of Ethiopia in the heart of Sheffield.

I wanted time to reflect on our dining experience before sending this review. It was a party of six for a birthday celebration arriving at 6.30pm to a welcoming host. The restaurant has a large TV, clean, decorated beautifully and has a homely feel. The restaurant had no other customers and very cold which we told the host but nothing was offered so we kept our coats on. I love Ethiopian food but it was new to the rest of the party so the host suggested a platter of all the dishes served at the restaurant and assured us that there would be plenty. Sadly, when the food arrived it was cold or luke warm together with the plates and injera. Also, the amount was insufficient for 6 adults although he did reheat dishes. It’s was clear that the host was the only person there and the food was not freshly prepared and cooked but reheated in a microwave. Disappointingly, the host would not acknowledge the concerns voiced therefore sadly we will not be returning but hopefully this will help with improving customer service.
