The best restaurants serving African food in Scotland

Food was good as always but our service was incredible by our man Darren. We've been here and had him as our server multiple times and he's always so attentive and friendly. We love to see Darren

Nice African restaurant to be in

We lunched at Nando's on the 3rd April. We were superbly looked after by Sam who realised he was dealing with the elderly! He offered help with their online menu system and returned several times to check everything was ok. Truly, service with a smile on top of which the food was delicious. Dine in and enjoy.

Dined in yesterday and had probably one of the worst food experiences to date eating in a restaurant. Ordered the jollof rice with beef and was seated at a table that appeared to have not been wiped down properly. It was a cold night and was really raining outside so was pretty soaked. The restaurant was stone cold with no heaters on to my dismay. Food arrived promptly but had noticed something off about the rice and quickly realised it was gone off. I then complained of the smell and the taste as it was sour and clearly gone bad to the host who proceeded to use a spare knife in front of me to taste the foul rice for himself. I was actually quite shocked by this as you can imagine. After realising I was in fact right he whisked my plate away to come back some minutes later with a fresh plate, and explained that it was a gone off ball of fresh pepper that was added to the rice not the batch itself. I find it very hard to believe anyone can cook with ‘fresh’ ingredients and not notice when they are spoilt and have never experienced anything like this. This second plate was without the spoilt taste , however was completely lacking in any flavour the rice just tasted of salt no seasoning or typical jollof flavour and the beef stew tasted like a gravy you would put on a cheap Sunday roast. Nothing Nigerian or authentic about the food here at all. I honestly would have refused to pay for the main however I had read a review of a woman below who had a another negative experience who was locked inside of the restaurant so paid my bill and have made a mental note to never come back. They should really close this place down.

We popped in for food around 6 o'clock. The place was jumping. Waited 10mins for a table ( we didn't mind) food was great and came quite quickly. The service from the girl on the till was amazing, she was super friendly and helpful. She was under pressure trying to serve and clean tables etc however this didn't affect the customer service or smile on her face. Wish I had caught her name as she's an asset to your business date of visit 17/3 around 6pm
