“I ordered a rice box to takeaway. I didn't have to wait long at all and the service from Talia and Bea was amazing. They were patient and friendly when I couldn't decide which flavour of chicken to have and made recommendations. In the end I choose the Medium. Overall, the food was really nice, hot and was flavoured just right.”

“Really enjoyed my food from Afrikana! I ordered the chicken and rice, and everything was really good. The chicken was tasty and well cooked, and the rice was full of flavour. The portion size was good too, and overall I had a great experience. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the customer service was great throughout. Would definitely go again!”

“Food was just ok, flavours dominated by sauce and spices, rice reminded me of jollof but without any other ingredients. I realise they just opened and it's still work in progress, fingers cross they would improve their recipes. …”
