We do enjoy African food, and coming across this well-regarded cafe/ restaurant was a pleasant surprise.
Our two boys loved the food despite initially saying it was too early to eat, plus they also originally wanted something else nearby! However, we were glad to have given Afrizi a try.
We ordered Nigerian jollof rice/mutton stew and rice/ beans/chicken stew ‐ warms the soul on a chilly night, and this was definitely a treat today. Milk/fruit shakes are nicely done. 👌
The one thing is that we felt that the plantain for the fried plantain and plantain chips could have been riper, which would have made it slightly sweeter than it was. Other than that, the overall meal went down very quickly and without any complaints.
An excellent place to try out Nigerian/African food, all made on the premises to authentic family recipes. Choose from a nice variety of different dishes - mutton stew, chicken suya (fried spicy chicken) with salad, fish stew, plantain fries.
Honestly fantastic food and service. I had the mixed grill with garlic bread and Fanta. Needed a bit of plantain to deal with the heat but 10/10.
Fantastic service from Nuuma and Indi. Kept us fed and brought the good vibes. Couldn’t have asked for more.
They also directed us to some lovely nearby memorials.
Everything was delicious and packed with flavor. We had the combo with 3 stews for £12. The mushroom and tofu stew was so tasty, perfect for vegitarians. My boyfriend and his nephew had the chicken stew and mutton which they loved. The combo was lovely as it allowed us to try multiple things on our first visit. The Sangria Spritiz is very refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. The Puff Puffs were also a delicious tasty after dinner treat. I highly recommend trying and we will definitley be back.
I come here every time I'm in Basingstoke. I wish it existed in my home town. The food is absolutely delicious. My personal favourite is the tofu stew with fried rice and fries plantains. The puff puffs are also a super yummy dessert option. I'm vegan and there's a bunch of options on the menu.
