Afrikana Birmingham - Ladypool Road

We came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday! I’m so glad we decided to come to this wonderful place. The service was amazing, the food was really tasty and the portion sizes were  large. Special shout out to Ahmed, the owner who went above and beyond to make my birthday a truly memorable experience. We’ve been to lots of similar restaurants, but this one was by far the best in terms of atmosphere, service and how good the food tasted! We will definitely visit this lovely place again.

I went to this amazing restaurant and was served by a lovely gentleman called haytch
He was lovely, i ordered the island fish and chips, mac and cheese, bunny chow and tacos, when i tell your the food was absolutely amazing, from the first bite to the last, rhe mac and cheese was delicious, cheesy spicy, the fish and chips were fantastic from the flavour to the texture and crunch, well seasoned to perfection, the bunny chow was “wow” the lamb was juicy, tender and full of flavour, this place is a must. So well worth money spent a big hats off and thank you to the chef “Laala” thankyou to haytch, i will definitely bring my family here again. I have been here so many times and the food os always top class.👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Honestly, some of the best quality food I’ve had. The service was good but the food and decor were absolutely amazing. I was very impressed with the full chicken, lamb kebabish and the Island fish and chips. we shall definitely be returning soon…

A Taste of Africa – A Truly Memorable Dining Experience at Afrikana!

I recently visited Afrikana with some friend, and it was an incredible journey through the flavours and culture of Africa. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were warmly welcomed by the head waiter at reception—his friendly demeanour and professional personality really set the tone for the evening.

The menu was mouth-watering, filled with so many tempting dishes that it was genuinely difficult to choose just one! Every bite was packed with flavour and clearly made with care. The decor beautifully reflected African heritage, creating an inviting and vibrant atmosphere. The lighting was just right, adding to the cosy and relaxed vibe.

The only slight downside was the lack of parking, but honestly, the experience more than made up for it. Afrikana offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to try something different and delicious.

Will definitely be visiting again!

I celebrated my birthday at Afrikana, and it was such a wonderful evening! My friends and I had dinner there, and the food was absolutely amazing — the meat was juicy, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. The drinks were great too, and everything came out just right.

We brought our own birthday cake, and the staff went above and beyond — they lit candles and even added a little fire show on the cake, which made the moment extra special. A big shoutout to Jay and his team for their excellent customer service — they were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d definitely recommend Afrikana to anyone looking for great food, good vibes, and amazing service. Thank you for making my birthday so memorable!
