    My first time visiting Africana and everything was wonderful from the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. The decor is beautiful, the service was A1, Thank you Franklin! The food was really good Franklin explained everything and did not disappoint. I had oxtails, jollof rice and sukuma wiki all were very good. I’ll be back to try some other dishes.

    To start off, when I was 5-10yrs old I had neighbors from South Africa who would cook and invite my mom and I over every weekend to share in the love and food! The food here brought me back to my childhood memories! Ann-Reavis was friendly and bright with a smile that made sitting down feel welcoming from the get go. The food, we got the egusi soup with fufu, and literally tore into the meal after we had our hands washed at the table. Led into their rice with Goat and spicy sauce (don’t be scared to go spicer if you can handle heat). Overall 10/10! When we come back I’ll add pictures cause I absolutely forgot this time from how much fun my wife and I had eating here!

    Egusi + fufu was amazing- good portion. Service was very sweet. Huge space, lots of seating and parking. The prices are pretty expensive ($17 for a small side of meat, $8 for beer). If I was to make a suggestion- more exciting cocktails since it has a great vibe, appropriate pricing for portion sizes, maybe add a dessert option. Add a scoop of jollop rice to the meat suya and make it a meal. I’ll definitely come back and try another soup, it was great and everyone kept eating mine lol.

    My first time here. I didn't read any reviews beforehand. The first thing you notice is the decor. I really liked it. Ann was my waitress. She had the best customer service. The food was good. The smoke detectors beeping was the only thing keeping it from being 5 stars.
