Discover fresh, flavoursome and feel good food straight from West Nigeria.
Afrizi, the first African restaurant in Basingstoke, where you will be transported by our rustic, colourful atmosphere; greeted by friendly faces and enjoy rhythmic, melodious African music. A true must-go spot in the heart of Hampshire.
Here at Afrizi, we like to look after everyone and our menu was designed to do just that! The majority of our menu is either gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian, further we boast that all of our menu is halal, catering to all whether you like spicy or just plain delicious!
But we didn’t just stop there, with our passion to look after our planet and home, this is our first thought through everything from up-cycling for our furniture and all packaging either being fully recyclable or compostable.
We look forward to inviting all of you, for grab-and-go lunches, mid afternoon catch-ups or sit-down dinners, and don’t forget to bring along your paw-tiful pets, we have a water bowl ready to go whenever!
I couldn’t have been more pleased to have revisited Afrizi again after moving out of the area all those years ago.
Having been a relatively regular diner back when they first opened in 2022. The quality and flavour of their food is still brilliant, if not, even more so than prior. Photographed: mutton stew, jollof rice, chicken wings, puff puff. The growth of their menu is profound, it’s been carefully thought out to guarantee there’s something for everyone.
But the true highlight of Afrizi is its staff. Everyone is as welcoming and warm as I remember, it’s as though nothing is ever too much. It’s really is no surprise to hear of their accolades and achievements so far!
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.
