The best restaurants serving African food in England

Very busy Wednesday evening. We were sat in an unpleasant area near the kitchen away from the main seating area. Food was ok.

The last I saw the place closed but the food was good and the atmosphere was as amazing. A great artistic take for a restaurant. People complained about the food they got with a virgin experience voucher, but I feel it’s to be expected when you aren’t paying full price. We paid full price for our food, got what we wanted on the menu and we were not disappointed.

Brilliant service from Hassan very friendly and hospitality was great enjoyed my visit

Just called in for a few drinks and was served by a really nice friendly chap called Nigel who couldn't do enough for us. There was also a lovely jolly young woman named Sophie who had us in stitches whilst serving us. They both made us feel very welcome.

Fancied some fish and chips while in Blackpool, and Pablos looked good from the outside. Hones, i’d give it a miss. Clean and tidy, but the service is ridiculously slow, they couldn’t get a simple order right and looked as my wife like she was stupid when she pointed out that we were a portion of chips missing.

We were not sure what to expect here due to some of the mixed reviews but thought we’d take a risk as we were staying in the hotel and were not disappointed at all. The food was excellent very well cooked and delicious and reasonably priced - the alcohol on the other hand very expensive for a pint etc. Definitely need to book as it was relatively quiet when we stayed and the restaurant was fully booked at certain times failing that you can always eat at the other restaurant however for us this one was excellent and we would definitely use it again. Great service, great atmosphere, great food and must if you are staying at Chessington.

Another fantastic meal from Chef Ben and the 805 team. The food came in good time, was delicious, and the waiter and waitress made sure that we had everything we needed.

I give this restaurant a 5* for atmosphere only. The rest are very a disappointing 1*. I have been in many Ethiopian restaurant and this was not what I expected. They need to work on their cooking skills and customer service. Only one lady was serving.

Very good food. Food was served very quickly. Service was excellent.restaurant was very clean and well presented. I would recommend to anyone

Service abysmal. I paid in advance for brunch. After travelling an hour and a half to get to the location, told that the brunch was not available. Met with rude staff (laughing at me) and no retribution to honour my prepayment. Will not be coming back here or any of the other locations and would not advise anyone else to.

Terrible customer service. No communication. Ordered delivery & paid, waited and waited but it never came. Ring to find out they have cancelled my order but couldn't be bother to tell me. Turns out they don't deliver 5 mile only 3 mile radius so not sure why they took the order or my money... (which I still haven't got back yet) waited an hour before I called them and found this out, if I hadn't we would of probably still been waiting as they had no intention of telling us. Absolute joke of a restaurant and My 6 year old is now starving

This Nando’s was great, but you never know the portion size your going to get. I ordered the family sharing meal and both times the chips was a small chips. The first time I went to this nandos the chips size was great now they cut the chips down Garlic bread was not a large, so I had to order another chips separate from the family platter. Only then you could see it was a large chips. The guy in the think he’s acting manager followers his waiters , he will also come up to you and his waiter and listen to the customers then answers the customers question when the customers never approached him in the first place kinda rude. He’s always in the red shirt, kinda unhygienic. He doesn’t even smile at customers. Rest of the customers service is great but the kitchen are confused on portion size. I actually feel I’m wasting money in nandos and can get better value on the high road.

I came here to eat with my friends and my food came 10 minutes after them and they had already finished. When I asked them they told me it was coming and to sit down, it took another 5 minutes and the service was dreadful.

Yesterday, my friend and I decided to try out this restaurant. The staff made us very welcome and the food was excellent. We came for brunch and both chose dishes newly added to the menu. I went for the Breakfast Pancake and my friend went for the Indian Style Sandwich. Both dishes were delicious and we were served quickly. In addition, the coffees are delicious and the restaurant offers options for various dietary restrictions, such as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal.

I recently visited this café with a group of colleagues and left feeling quite underwhelmed. First off, note that they don’t accept card payments – it’s cash or bank transfer only, which was inconvenient in this day and age. Most of my colleagues ordered the halal breakfast, and while they all seemed to enjoy it, I was only in the mood for a light snack. I opted for cheese on toast with a Diet Coke. Unfortunately, from the moment we sat down, the experience was less than hospitable. The waitress had more of a matriarchal demeanor, briskly telling us to “wait at your table, and I will serve you,” without any real warmth or courtesy. When my food arrived, I was served four small triangles of toast with a very stingy amount of cheese – barely enough to cover the toast. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a cheese shortage! Still, I decided not to complain and just started eating. After finishing one slice, I realized my drink hadn’t arrived. I went up to the counter to ask for it, only to be told, “Oh, it’s in the fridge,” as if I was supposed to know this on my own. At this point, the service was already leaving much to be desired, but I powered through. To top it all off, when I went to pay, I was stunned to be charged £6.45 – for two very basic slices of toast with barely-there cheese and a £1.80 “Diet Coke” (which turned out to be a Salaam Cola instead). Considering the quality of the food, the lack of service, and the overall experience, this was shocking. Needless to say, I won’t be returning, and I certainly won’t be recommending this place to others. £6.45 for what I got was nothing short of daylight robbery.
