Dishes inspired by Kenya, Botswana and Ethiopia

We finally tried out @afrikanakitchen !

The drinks unfortunately were nothing special, just your standard mojitos. The lamb chops were a little dry but had a nice flavour to them when combined with the dipping sauce. We got the chicken bites in the jerk flavour and these were amazing, the sauce had a delicious smoky taste.

For mains, we tried the half chicken in the Afrikana sauce with a side of rice. The rice was dry and lacked flavour, the chicken was tender with a slight charred flavour, but overall the meal was bland and needed a lot more sauce and may have worked better with a different side dish. 

The ‘Fried Chicken is Life’ dish on the other hand was better. The chicken was crispy and coated in the jerk sauce, served with Afrikana fries, which we enjoyed. 

The customer service was amazing, the staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food arrived really fast. We would definitely visit again

@cravinghalal's review of Afrikana Dalston on Instagram

Afrikana Restaurant Dalston

My friends and I took my mum here for a birthday dinner. Maryam was our waitress and she was an absolute delight. She regularly came over to see how we were doing which was really sweet. I gave her a birthday cake to bring out and she put it on a tray and dusted it with icing sugar + crushed Oreo's! She also helped us take some group photos on my Polaroid camera. Honestly, the food was great but Maryam made our evening even better! Thanks so much :)

The Food was very well make. The personnels top specialy the lady  served us. I would put 5 stars but I will put 4 stars . It is was my birthday so I wanted to have the special effects like smoke on my table but there were none.

We had a very nice meal here. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. A special thank you to Malick and Amélie for their warm welcome. They made us feel truly at home.

I had a really lovely experience here. The food was very tasty and fresh, and the service felt cosy and welcoming. It’s a new place but already has such a warm atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting!
