Afrikana Ilford

It’s my first time eating in Afrikana.which Iv been wanting to dine in for ages. , I wasn’t sure what to choose from the menu. Fatima was taking our orders and she kindly helped me choose a few things from the menu that were exactly what we was looking for. Great customer service which made the experience all the more special. Will def visit again.

I had an amazing experience at Africana Ilford! The food was absolutely busting with flavour — every bite was fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. You can really taste the quality in each dish.

What made the visit even better was the service. The man who served us was super friendly and genuinely funny, which added such a warm, personal touch to the meal. It felt like we were being hosted rather than just served.

The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely and welcoming too — cozy, clean, and with a great vibe that made us feel right at home. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you're after delicious food and good vibes!

Came here on a weekday for daughter's 21st, as we'd heard the food was nice.
First impression very good, nice restaurant, decor. We ordered the we meet again platter and a side, for four people. Food looked great when it arrived. Chicken and wings were tasty and flavourful. Chips were nice and crispy. Could have done with more coleslaw, portion was tiny for a sharing platter. Jollof rice was nice too.
The meat was not so great though. I love lamb chops, but these were tasteless and the steak was over cooked and incredibly tough, barely edible at all and we asked for them to done medium. I expected the loaded fries with pulled beef to be soft melt in the mouth beef, instead it consisted of long, tough, stringy meat. Didn't like at all.
The Beauty and the Beast strawberry mocktail is a bit expensive at £7.45 but very nice. Come here for chicken only.
They do offer 10%NHS discount at least.

Had a fantastic experience. Right as you walk in, the vibe is great. They’ve got beautiful decor, cool lighting, chill music, it was all very inviting. The servers were super helpful and polite and engaging. The food was on point - the big poppa burger (smash burger with chicken) was quality and was very quickly devoured. The afrikana fries also really surprised me and tasted amazing. The pricing was also reasonable and we will definitely be back again.

Popped into the Ilford Afrikana today for a quick bite and ended up having such a lovely experience. I got the Chicken Date burger and halloumi fries on the side, both were incredible. The chutney that came with the fries was soo good, I’d go back just for that.

Fatima served us and she was lovely, made the visit feel special, she was so sweet, friendly and attentive. Definitely planning to come back soon!

Whilst we're not HMC approved, all our chicken and meat is HMC approved only.

Savanah Restaurant

Ordered lamb shank and pasta linguine with white mushroom sauce. It was delicious and the salad and mashed potato that came with it were great. The service was excellent and the price was the best of all. We had 4 adult meals plus one kids meal for under £50. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Don’t understand what the fuss is about. Only thing I enjoyed was the bread and hummus. Chicken tasted off, the shoulder was full of fat and tasteless and the rice tasted like it was put in the microwave! Never going back

Badly designed space, it needs a lot of work. The staff are polite and hardworking but the conditions of the place needs improvement. Food is also good but only for takeaway.

Lovely service, polite and smiling waiting staff. Willing to help. Food hot and adequate portions . Clean and welcoming. My first visit and will definitely come again.  Recommend the timir (date cake), absolutely delicious.  Thank you for a lovely experience

First time visiting this restaurant and was impressed with the service, quality and taste of the food. Had the lamb shoulder which was cooked perfectly, with the meat just falling off the bone. The veg accompanying the meat was nicely done. Rice was done perfectly, and tasted great. Spice level was really mild, but they provided a chilli chutney/sauce which gave the dish a nice kick. Overall, glad I went and would definitely return in future.

Savanah

Banaadiri Restaurant

Great food, great service, great value. Would recommend if you're looking for a big meaty cheap eat somewhere low-key. Clearly a popular spot for Somalians too which I took as a good sign.
I went for the lamb which came with an enormous plate of rice, veggies and sauce - plus a salad and three bananas on the side ;) all of which (plus a drink) came to 10 quid. Everything came more or less immediately. The lamb joint was very tender and the rice and veggies were delicious and well-seasoned. Somewhat spicy on its own and comes with more chilli sauce on the side if you're a spice fiend like me. The waiter was an absolute legend - he offered to put my leftover rice in a takeaway box, then added a load of rice and veg for me to have the next day! I'll definitely be going back.

Excellent food so yummilicious staff were very good I have been so many times only to eat at the restaurant and I live quite far from this place.

Friendly place it's a Somalian restaurant and very affordable

Great Somali food not so cheap and the place is not very inviting as it is too small with somany people

Tried this months ago. Was awful food!! How they can give food like this is mad

Banaadiri

Mosob Restaurant

Excellent experience, lovely friendly staff, food is fresh and tasty, unique African atmosphere 
Just superb, food wise I suggest Zigny (the name sounded like this check with the waiter if you wanna try it it's made with lamb meat 
..... and make sure you pick some veg in your order to balance things out.
I hope you will like it

The restaurant is easy to reach and to spot. 
Very nice atmosphere, the place is quite small and I would recommend to reserve your table. The service was friendly and we received a very warm welcome. Even if it is your first time at an Eritrean restaurant, they will suggest you were to start from. They have 6 tasting menus so for you to try a bit more. Reasonable prices, would definitely recommend a visit!! 5 stars!

The waiter was so welcoming, charming, and helpful. He guided us through everything and helped with suggestions. The food was really interesting and the flavours were great. A brilliant experience. Get ready to eat with your hands

This is on the top of our list - the flavors and smell of the food can transport you to Eritrea. It's a feast of flavors and spices. We've been here many times and it doesn't disappoint. The service, ambience, food portions are great. Tip: dishes are eaten by hands. Request for utensils of you want.

Authentic tasty African food- quick service and lovely atmosphere
