Chez Afrique

Do yourself a favor and eat here. The food is interesting and different, but over all, incredibly good. I wish I lived closer to Colchester so I could come more often. The atmosphere is great and the staff are very welcoming and efficient, they make you feel like home. The prices were very, very affordable. Can't possibly recommend this place more, what are you waiting for?

The jollof rice and grilled fish was extremely tasty, freshly cooked, well seasoned, and generous in portion. Great presentation! I cannot wait to taste more of their offerings, particularly their soups. The customer service was friendly and responsive. Honestly, the best jollof rice I've tasted outside Nigeria! If you are visiting Colchester or the surrounding areas, make sure you stop by Chez Afrique! There's also an African Caribbean grocery next door with a multitude of options. Highly recommend!

We have ordered food from chez afrique three times. Firstly for our meet&greet event, secondly for our Christmas dinner and for our summer social . The portion sizes were really good each time and everyone really enjoyed the food - the Jollof rice especially! The price is decent as well and you get really good value for money.

Best service and food we have had in a long time. We are new to Colchester, it was my birthday and my husband decided to treat me to £64 worth of food, excellent idea. Excellent menu and beautifully cooked, and very large portions. We are Going to make this a regular place to eat.Thank you excellent Chef and excellent staff for making us feel so welcome and amazing food and service (and making my birthday).

Lovely little taste of Africa. After Google recommended this to me I put it on my 'want to go' list and today was the day! Popped in for lunch, It was quiet when we entered and we were greeted by a lovely young lady at the counter. We sat down and looked over the menus but I ultimately asked for a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. I had the jollof rice with mixed meats (chicken and beef), lovely. My buddy had the Nigerian red stew with white rice and plantain which he really enjoyed too. It's decorated with colourful pictures and wooden planks of dark woods. Maybe a little highly priced but it's a good size portion and great food so I'd says it's worth it. Ill definitely be back for more, and soon. They seem to be on just eat and deliveroo too but I'd suggest popping in if you can.
