This is my first time at afrikana and I am absolutely blown away. The service was bang on with attentive staff which helped with my choice and selection. And I can seriously say this is some of the best chicken you can ever taste. I would suggest going for the africana flavor. It hits differently. I was happy to see the recyclable packaging also.

Great food, really enjoyed the spice and flavours. Recommend the goat curry with plantain. Kids enjoyed the wings with the milder lemon and leaves sauce. Jollof rice side had a nice kick to it. Friendly service and not a long wait for food to be prepared.

Great food at Afrikana Lakeside! The chicken was cooked perfectly, full of flavour, and the wraps with Afrikana sauce were amazing. Portions are big, Imtiyaz was really friendly, and everything came out hot and fresh. Price was great and amazing value for the taste and service. Definitely coming back!
