Had a lovely dinner for a special occasion, was looking for a good meal and they didn’t disappoint. I can’t vouch for the authenticity as I’m not well versed in the cuisine of the continent but overall it was delicious, and similar to other dishes I’ve tried before. I had the goat curry which was great and the ambience of the place really sold the night. Will gladly be coming again to try other items on the menu. Also cheers to Jay for tending to us and making the experience as a whole great.
Had a lovely meal with plenty of variety. The puff pastry was nice when dipped in their house chilli sauce as a starter.
The meat platter was plenty of food for 3-4 people and the Mac n cheese was fresh, not a microwave job like you find in many other places!
The steak was cooked a little more well done than requested and the waiter kindly offered several times to change it but we told him not to worry as it was still nice and I’d rather not waste food. All the food was hot and tasty with different marinades and condiments. The Afrikana house marinade was the best pick of the bunch.
Service was great and genuinely friendly from every staff member who regularly checked in to make sure we were ok and that the food was fine, and it was genuine care rather than asking as a formality.
A nice night all round, thank you.
Africana definitely delivered with most of the dishes that were ordered which were aesthetically pleasing on the eye. A variety of items were ordered: Jammin Jambalaya (was one of the best) Just Kebabin (not as kicking as expected) Island fish and chips (definitely had a pleasant twist), Thic Chick (a winner with the children) to name a few. Portion sizes differ so might be worth enquiring about size of dishes. Interior decor at its best, the atmosphere was vibrant which was topped with superb customer service. A tad on the pricey side but definitely worth a treat. A recommendation from me to you.
Had a great evening at Afrikana ladypool!
Excellent decor,service from Jay was superb,professional and polite.
Generous portions across a varied menu. Good options for kids. Food was well cooked to perfection & traditional way with sauces offering the perfect accompaniment.Highly recommend

1st time experience for Couple, never tried any of the restaurants up this end of Ladypool Road - only because of the silly riff raff of the drug fueled youth that hang about here.
Can I say, this restaurant is in the wrong location - but if it works for the owners, then great.
From the moment of walking in on a Thursday night, it was quiet, suoerb ambient setting and I was impressed by Tash's acknowledgement of turning down the music, he had no issue and kindly obliged without fuss.
From first impressions, is it safe to say it has a family based environment from customers, which I liked, no shouting from customers (this is a put off for me personally depending on what type of eating out your intentions are)
Both Tash and Summaya gave excellent customer service, extremely polite and willing at all moments of our 1st time experience.
Food was delicious and piping hot 10/10, will we come back yes, most certainly.
I would be curious if they can get food and customer service quality during peak periods as on our visit it was not busy (but we had no complaints), we just wanted an evening out when the food would hit the spot and it did.
Established was clean - I was impressed with the table space for 2 people to dine in, with the addition of large spacious chairs - it was a comfortable seating during eating. Relaxed atmosphere.
This place is great for family get togethers, ok parking would be issue for some who struggle to walk long distance, but it would be worth it, and if you can put up with the no-good youth that loiter the streets, then this is a place to visit.
Look forward to returning to this place in the near future.
First time trying this place. Was putting it off from going here because I thought I wouldn't like it since I'm a fussy eater 😂 We got the grilled chicken and the fish and chips. Me and my husband enjoyed what we ordered. The fish and chips didn't taste like basic chip shop ones. The flavour of it is completely different. Also, the passion fruit mocktail was nice too. Would recommend this place!!
Table for 5 reserved as it can be a ball ache of a wait some times. Food was served fast and hot, nice choice of food on the menu but prices are a bit high. Service could have been better but they were busy which lacked attention to all diners.
If it was cheaper we would come back, as an individual with friends it's great to visit. I can't afford +£100 for a family meal for 5 on the regular.
Amazing flavours and a wide yet cohesive variety on the menu, this place is definitely becoming a favourite. I personally love the island fish & chips. The portion sizes are perfect, the wait is never too long, and the service is great. Very accommodating for large groups as well. Only thing I have to complain about is the size of the mocktails - they're tiny, overpriced and mostly ice so stay away from those! But other than that it's a great experience.
Travelled all the way from London to celebrate my sons 17th b’day. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing service. Food & drinks looked and tasted fabulous.Very impressed! Also like to mention it’s the first place I have visited where the bathroom was sparkling. Thank you for making my sons night special!
Start to finish I couldn't have asked for more. Atmosphere was cosy and staff was very friendly. Food was well presented and also tasted amazing. Great place for big families as well as duos. Special thanks to our waiters for the evening Daniaal and Tash who went out their way to make sure everyone was happy and content.
Been a few times, food and service is always good. Have never had any problems any of the times I have been in the past. Can easily recommend this place to others. Wish it was slightly cheaper.
Best place on Ladypool Road (Birmingham) for a family oriented evening meal! Manager Rameez made sure we was all looked. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a clean and friendly service with amazing food. You won’t be disappointed.
Delicious food. We ordered raremi-steak which was really tasty and What Cheese Said which had the most exquisitely flavoured rice. Staff were so kind and welcoming, catered to everything we needed. Thanks x
Ordered on Uber eats. Great portion size, food was so delicious and came quickly and hot! Ordered the Mac and cheese, Jollof rice, plantain, and three wings. Everything was so good and filled me up. The wings came with chips which I didn’t know otherwise I wouldn’t have got it. Can’t wait to try it in person.
Amazing restaurant with the best service, our Waitor Tash was particularly good. He had great knowledge, was extremely personable and made us laugh. We got the Ethiopian platter with extra sides of mac and cheese, plantain and halloumi fries. 10/10!!!!! Would recommend if you’re in the area, great for solo meals, couples and groups. Xxx
Had the sharing platter meat and chicken. I'm a lamb person and loved the steak and lamb chops. Amazing.
Chicken jerk bbq flavour good too, staff were 10/10 tonight. Very friendly.

In the photos are the fish burger the steak and the salmon.
Each dish as you can see was presented well.
My fish burger was really nice, the cod was flaky and not oily. It was cruncy and it was well portioned.
My friends who had the steak and the salmon say there was excellent too!
The service was very good, we were seated quickly, baring in mind we ate on a Saturday night and everything was reasonably priced too!
Would definitely recommend for a visit.
Such great quick service and fresh delicious food that was served with generous portion sizes. Definitely somewhere I will be visiting again. Truly a gem in Ladypool road if you are looking for great food and service!
