  “Great place and fantastic tasty foods to enjoy. Nigerian traditional foods which remain you of home are cooked and served as though you are back home. I travelled from London to come have a taste of OHA soup and other delicacies. Thank you all (African Village restaurant Birmingham) for your excellent customer service.”

  “Awful food and service: I ordered “Assorted Meat Soup Starter” for home delivery, as I was expecting pepper soup which I ordered before when I went into the restaurant with a friend 2 weeks before. I like it when I eat it at the restaurant, hence I ordered home delivery expecting the same "Assorted Meat Soup Started" I ordered before. After waiting 1hr 20minutes, it eventually arrived. What was send looks like egusi soup mixed with lots of water, doesn't smell nice and taste nothing like pepper soup (Assorted Meat Soup Starter) I eat at the restaurant. I normally do not give review, but this is so bad that I have to vent and let other people know about this. I was not only disappointed but furious after waiting more than an hour to get watery egusi soup or whatever watery soup that was sent. And I think the person that sent it thinks the customer will not know or what. Or they are fool? The most annoying part is that my child was sick and wanted pepper soup but end up getting crap instead. It just a shame that I can;t give zero star. See the picture of "Assorted meat Soup Starter" and judge for yourself.”

  “I’m not gonna lie, I used to really enjoy going to African Village but the last few times have been very mid. The service used to be a lot better and so did the food. We got Ogbono soup, vegetable and fried rice. The Ogbono was slightly bland and could have done with more seasoning and pepper 🌶️. The vegetable was overcooked so was really soft - I don’t like it too soft but some people do! The fried rice was not too bad but we waited ages for it to come!! The best bit was the fact that they serve one of my favourite Cameroonian drinks, Top!”

  “The food is simply delicious and brought back beautiful memories of my family cooking for me. From start to finish, my meal was a delight. I highly recommend this restaurant/takeout to anyone looking for authentic and flavorful African cuisine. Thank you, African Village, for a memorable meal!”

  “This bar restaurant is very well presented. Some African music is played by a DJ which gives a nice atmosphere. The food was amazing. We had some goat meat kebabs, grilled tilapia with jollof and grilled croaker fish with plantain. My husband was really happy with the portion size. The flavour was really nice and the hot chilli sauce was adding to the flavour. We really recommend.”

  “Was glad to see an African restaurant to try out my home dishes. The space was minimally decorated, it had some lights and a DJ playing African Music which I loved. We placed our orders and had to wait for almost 50minutes. We order the fried rice/chicken and the Boewers Sandza with salad or Veg. The food was not so tasty the veg used to prepare the Sandza was not the right one and it was really watery and the Sandza has lumps and it was too hard. The fried rice was not spicy at all but the chicken was manageable. In all it was an okay experience.”
