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.

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.

Had a free chicken rice box (with jerk BBQ sauce) today, as they were celebrating their anniversary. The taste and quality were amazing. Thank you so much. Looking forward to trying the goat curry one day soon.

If I could give 0* I would. Everytime I come here the service is very dismissive. I ordered something different as a recommendation from my colleagues. My food looked completely different to theirs even though it was the same thing. Not sure if its because I am a female and they are males. My food took 15 minutes, was not even fresh, was very very stale. Asked for a bag, was dismissed and told only for uber eats and deliveroo they give bags but again my colleagues always get bags. On top of that the man was speaking to me with airpods in his ears which I find very rude.
