Visited this place while staying in Derby. Food was awesome, I got the half chicken in Afrikana flavour, it was the best I've had in a long time and dare I say it better than Nandos. Kids got some burgers and loved it too. I even asked for some Afrikana sauce tubs to bring home. Spoke to the owner who was very friendly and welcoming too. Great place. Will defo be visiting this place every time I am in Derby. Keep up the fresh amazing food guys.

Ordered a takeaway from here, the food was delicious, some amazing flavours and really good portion sizes. Can recommend the sharing platters!
Called the restaurant as originally had issues ordering through the website. Friendly staff helped us out.

Best lemonade so far in Uk.
Fresh produce used to mark food extra delicious

Absolutely, in love with jollof rice. Tried them for the first time ever, and the spice level was above expectations and rice so flavorful. Everything was served hot and to the point delicious. Comfortable sitting. Nice and welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend it.
If suggestions are welcome, then the songs should be played at a lower decibel. Music was deafening.

Wonderful food. Got the goat curry, bean burger, mac n cheese, jollof rice, and beef pastry, all were absolutely delicious. Since we don't have African food often, we all wanted to try a bit of each and the server was very accommodating by giving us extra plates when asked so that we could each take from all the different dishes, and they also gave us a food container when we asked if we could take the leftovers home. The atmosphere is also great, I loved the music and the murals on the walls.

Fantastic food, spiced just right. Friendly staff and great service. I don't like mango or passion fruit, however the mango & passion fruit cheesecake is to die for, light and smooth. Will make it my go to place to eat when I'm working in Derby (looking forward to next Monday). Thank you. Big David

Managed to get a walk-in table without a reservation for the two of us just after 5:30 midweek. A great reception from the waitress who was really helpful.
A broad menu featuring some well known African dishes and some African-inspired UK dishes too.
The smells of fresh spices from the kitchen convinced us to go with the chefs specials and we weren't disappointed. Freshly prepared food - a Jambalaya and a slow-cooked lamb casserole served in a hollowed-out loaf of African bread! Huge portions bursting with flavours, spices and magnificent aromas.
The food arrived reasonably quickly and was more than enough to feed an adult. We got a main and a drink for under £20 each.
Great value.
Great menu.
Great atmosphere.
Amazing food...
Definitely going back 👍
