The best restaurants serving African food in England

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!!

Terrible. Terrible staff. Terrible service. Awful quality food. And the prices are astronomical. £30 for disgusting fish soup. Inedible rubbish. Avoid!

Good smart place and good music 🎶 🎵 👌 ♥ . Would love to visit also some other time for breakfast and lunch. Thanks for the good service Rumanah.

A friend had heard great things about this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Food is different and delicious, filling and a must visit for those who like trying new foods.

Well, the service is not really professional, which one would expect in a Michelin starred - I left three out of five courses nearly uneaten and they didn't care. The lower dining room is too packed and oppressive, with low ceiling and quite dark. But the main point is that the food is dull, and includes non African ingredients aplenty: porcini and far East mushrooms, Pollock, turbot... I lived more than 15 years in three different countries in Africa, and travelled to at least 30: never seen any of those... Quite a disappointment.

Sadly, this restaurant seems to have closed; it used to be our favourite rendezvous for a meal before a gig at the Academy, but I've now tried visiting twice over the past three months and both times it has been shuttered up with no sign of activity. The phone line also seems to be dead. However, it does still seem to be furnished and have tables laid up, so it is just possible that it is opening intermittently and my visits have been unfortunately timed. If anyone does manage to eat here successfully, please post a review and, if possible, provide an update on its opening policy!

En su sitio web dice 'Una auténtica experiencia ghanesa' y lo que recibimos fue solo su mal servicio y su actitud horrenda. Esta crítica no se trata de su comida, porque no tuvimos oportunidad de probar su comida y tuvimos que irnos debido a su horrible servicio.Cuando entramos al restaurante a las 8 pm, notamos el vacío allí, que sonó una alarma. Había dos empleados sentados en el pasillo viendo un combate de boxeo y uno de ellos vino a saludarme.Mi novia y yo compramos un cupón groupon para 4 personas y vinimos solo como nosotros dos, porque no estábamos seguros de si la porción de sus platos era lo suficientemente grande.Cuando les presentamos vcouher, nos dijeron que solo podían servirnos como un grupo de 4 personas y no solo dos, porque nuestro bono es para 4 personas. Les expliqué que ya habíamos hecho lo mismo en otros restaurantes y que todos se alegraron de habernos servido la comida hasta ahora. Sin embargo, todavía se negaron a servirnos la comida. Entonces les sugerí que tenemos amigos que viven a solo 2 minutos y que si vienen aquí para mostrar sus caras, ¿podrían servirnos la comida?Todavía se negaron y dijeron que tendríamos que cenar en el restaurante. ¿Volví a confirmar con ellos si eso significa que se pararían junto a nosotros y nos vigilarían para asegurarnos de que todos estamos comiendo? No respondieron pero insistieron en que no podían servirnos.Al final no tuvimos más remedio que irnos. Al salir, una mujer de edad avanzada (suponiendo que ella era parte de su personal) me preguntó por qué tomé fotos. Le dije que voy a escribir una reseña sobre nuestra experiencia y las fotos son para probar que habíamos estado en el restaurante. Los dos se enojaron de repente y comenzaron a gritarnos cuando salíamos por la puerta.Me sentí completamente decepcionado por su forma de tratar a los clientes, que casi arruinan nuestra noche. Este es el tipo de restaurante al que no le daré una segunda oportunidad y tendré que advertir a tantas personas como pueda sobre cuán ridículo es este lugar.

I am writing this review to express my disappointment with the service I received today at your establishment. At approximately 13:45, I visited your cafe with the intention of purchasing a bag of coffee using a QR code from the app, which entitled me to a complimentary purchase. However, upon presenting the QR code to the employee, a woman with curly hair and glasses, I was met with a rude and dismissive attitude. She looked me up and down as if I had said something outrageous and pointed me towards the coffee bags without any assistance. Furthermore, when I inquired about the available blends of coffee, her response was curt and unhelpful, merely instructing me to "just look." Additionally, when I attempted to explain that the QR code had an expiry date of today, April 24th, 2024, she rudely dismissed my explanation and insisted that it was expired without further consideration. The dismissive attitude and lack of professionalism displayed by your employee left me feeling spoken down upon and insulted. As a customer, I expect to be treated with respect and courtesy, regardless of the circumstances. Unfortunately, this was not the case during my visit today. I understand that mistakes can happen, but I believe it is essential to address and rectify instances of poor customer service promptly. I sincerely hope that you will take this complaint seriously and address the behaviour of your employee to ensure that other customers do not have to endure similar experiences in the future.

This was extremely tasty. The mea were good, the vegetables were good. Hell! Even the bloody rice was delicious. I definitely recommend this if you need a quick meal that’s good. They also broadcast live soccer matches to watch while your foods getting cooked.

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

Extensive menu with lots of wonderful dishes to treat one's taste buds. We were pleasantly surprised by the choice of available alcoholic beverages. The owners/hosts were warm and friendly and took time to go through explanations of our curiosity about some of the dishes. Strongly recommend a visit, we certainly will.

Top spot for health African / East African food. Delicious variety of authentic Ugandan food. Get the whole flask of hot chai tea with milk after your meal and thank me later!

Best breakfast ever!!! My favourite was the french toast, everybody needs to try it! Great coffee (coming from a coffee connoisseur) and really fresh orange juice! It must visit if you are nearby

Just wanted to say a massive THANKYOU!! Me and my family came here and were served with outstanding service!!! The gentleman who served us made everything so fun and enjoyable for us! It was my mother in laws birthday and she was delighted! She even met the chef who was lovely! Thank you for making our trip worth while and your fantastic service and wonderful food!! Everything was delicious and what we couldn’t finish was kindly put in bags for us 😊
