The best restaurants serving African food in England

I was promised a restaurant with Benin food and I got this🤮🤮🖕😡

I ordered peppersoup from this restaurant and it was the worst i have ever tasted. The price for a bowl of peppersoup is £18. The explanation i was given was that it was poured from a 500ml container to a 650ml container which i think is hella ridiculous. The quantity was a joke, the taste was horrible. Ended up throwing it all away. Absolutely disgusting service. Please save your money and go elsewhere.

Food was delicious. Will definitely order again

Going to enjoy a meal I cherish, I ended up paying good money for nothing worth it. It is definitely not Suya what they are offering there, if you are a fan of Suya like me. Suya is made with powder of grinded Kuli Kuli (dried groundnut paste after extracting oil of it) plus ginger powder as essential constituents plus other flavor's depending on the chef choices. The so called Suya there had none of these two essentials yet I cannot figure how they call it Suya???? Suya is definitely not made with meat that has bones! Assuming that a low class restaurant might make the lamb Suya with parts that have bones because lamb bone is softer, this definitely never happens with beef meat. Beef meat used for Suya are tender boneless meat for sure. Given the high price for the starter (£8.99), one will never expect bones in such a starter meal, for it means one is paying for a high quality service but is actually receiving a mean return. And the chef assumes that Suya means chili spicy flavor, so he adds hot chili (without the ginger essence!) to make it taste somewhere close to Suya. It is evident he is ignorant that Suya can be and is traditionally not spicy except as the customer requests, i.e., it is not essential to have hot chili to make the dish a Suya dish, but it is definitely not a Suya when it is missing the Kuli Kuli coat/cover/flavor and when it is made with bones. That was simply a dish of roasted meat pieces that you can find in any restaurant that roasts meat and for a far cheaper price compared to quantity. It was anything but the lovely Suya dish!! (cannot say it was not well cooked, but that does not make it a Suya and Suya is a special dish) And what is annoying, it is a STARTER dish in little quantity for £9 a plate!!! I took two friends hoping to introduce them to the lovely Suya dish, telling them of Alhaji Suya in London and optimistic to get them amazed by the experience, I ended up paying £27 for roasted meat not even a half kilo if I summed the three plates. I would have been more lenient if after all, for that £27 they enjoyed the taste of Suya even if in little quantity. Indeed it was what made pay such a sum even though I realized it was a starter dish. I neither got a satisfying meal for £27, nor at least introduced my friends to the taste of Suya. As a Londoner visiting Birmingham, it is a shame that a restaurant will claim they are selling a meal and sell something else while they charge a high price that should be charged by a prestigious restaurant. Indeed it is just a show and I doubt their other dishes will be genuine African cuisines. My break in Birmingham is spoiled because of their fake advert claiming they offer Suya..

It was my third time here and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Big shoutout to Gomez who was extremely attentive and went the extra mile to ensure we had a fantastic experience. The food was phenomenal and my friends enjoyed it all especially considering it was their first time trying Congolese cuisine. Will recommend this place to everyone I know, thank you for a memorable experience.

Amazing delicious food, great service. Highly recommend

Vegetable curry was 1 mushroom 1 slice of carrot and the rest onions absolutely disgraceful

First time here , place didn't seem the cleanest but I was recommend the place so gave it a go. The chicken was uncooked and had a vinegar after taste chicken without the sauce. I took the parmo back and got part of my money back would never visit here again cooked ok too which is disappointing

The food was really delicious . Ordered via Deliveroo and arrived earlier than time expected . I ordered the Asun, amala and Gbegiri . My eyes crossed at first bite … Truly delicious . Well done to the cook

I ordered fish, you sent me chicken

Visited with a group for dinner. It was my first time there and what a hidden gem. Sat in the garden on a beautiful summer evening with great food and friendly staff. Well worth a look and I hear the Sunday roasts are 👌

Normally I don't write negative reviews. Absolutely horrendous food, the meat was hard impossible to chew. We feel unwell after the food. It was my first and last time we visited this place.

Great place to be! The food is of great quality and quantity. Value for money
