Afrikana Leicester

We had a wonderful lunch at Afrikana, Leicester today(07/09/25), the food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor! Special thanks to Chef Dani for preparing such tasty dishes and to Rumanah for her warm and friendly service. We truly enjoyed the experience and will definitely come back!

Very sorry but just have to report an extremely poor experience here in the Leicester restaurant. We eat there regularly but on this particular day my experience was poor. Staff were lovely and tried to resolve but even the lady serving agreed it was poor. So my choice was ‘Bunny Chow’ and have had it several times before. But what arrived could only have been described as a loaf of bread and one tablespoon of curry. A piece of bread was removed from the loaf, see attached pic and a spoonful of meat/potato curry put inside. I’ve had this before and usually the loaf is mostly hollowed out, but not this time. When I raised this the lady serving agreed it was pitiful especially for £16. She asked the chef to correct this and all I got back was a small bowl, think sauce dipping bowl size with more of the sauce, no further meat or curried potato. The server took the item off the bill. said that she would raise it as a concern and encouraged me to write this review. Sorry but on this day it was a poor experience. If you order it make sure you don’t get ripped off as I felt I was being. I was hungry and did eat some of the bread so the pic is not really helping with scale. The piece cut out was small so I just tore off some bread as there was hardly any curry. Will go back as the rest of diners with me had nice food but will ensure I avoid this item. Tasted good the bit I had.

I had never tried African food before and stumbled upon this restaurant. I never expected that it opened up new taste buds for me. Until now, I thought African food was just some very dry meat. But it turns out that traditional African food has a lot of delicious, tender meat and very unique sauces.The layout and decoration of the restaurant are good. The service attitude of the waiters is also attentive. Most importantly, the food selection is rich, unique and very delicious. I personally recommend the lamb kebabs. The curry rice with African sauce is also very delicious.Highly recommended. I will definitely come back again.
