  AUTHENTIC! Took me back to the West coast of Africa. Red snapper, jollof and okra soup with fufu...must have. Dont forget plantains. Food was fresh and hot and good. I ordered with no spicyness. Service was impeccable. Place is clean and hospitable. Bar stocked well. Music was comforting. I've been 4 times now and everything was consistent. Last night they had a jazz band and singer. They were a breathe of fresh air. Top shelf performance. I cook allot at home because it is challenging to find consistency in all these categories these days. I've found it at AFRICANA.

  Would recommend! for a fun night it is very nice! Sleek, clean, classy. Food was great for a first time experience with African food, waiter even described her moms recipe when ask I asked what are the spices. Food is spicy with the moderate spicen option. Led Lights we a bit to much for my autistic eyes. But overall I would definitely go again!

  Africaana on Delmar Loop is a decent spot! The interior is warm, stylish, and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal and relax. The jollof rice was definitely a highlight—flavorful, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The combination of the welcoming atmosphere and delicious food made for a great experience. I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu!

  NOT A CRUMBBBB left on the plates!!!! So, so delicious! Everything was so flavorful and just cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the jollof or waakye rice. The vegetables served on the side of these rice bowls are a hidden gem. The beef and veggie samosas were cooked to crisp perfection on the outside and the inside was very tender, a good contrast of texture. My group and I also had the egusi with fufu. The egusi had a wonderful nutty, smoky flavor. Fufu was a great side for the egusi, too. The red snapper was incredibly crispy on the outside and silky inside. I like the interior decor/atmosphere. The staff were very nice, they were happy to explain and give recommendations from the menu when we had questions. Also, very vegan and vegetarian friendly. Most dishes are a vegan base, then you can add protein(s) of your choice. Love!

  The ambiance is everything, let’s start there. The artwork, the music, the lighting… just the whole vibe is 🤌🏽✨ And the food?? NEVER disappoints. We got the spicy Egusi with fufu, Sukuma, jollof rice, Africana deviled eggs, and the whole fried tilapia. Everything was packed with flavor and SO good. Definitely one of those places where the atmosphere and the food both hit. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! 10/10. 🤎
