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!
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.
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.
Very delicious!!! We ordered the jollof mutton with plantains and beans on the side. Also tried the puff puffs. I'll be back and/or order from here again when I'm in Basingstoke.
Visiting a friend in 'stoke and he recommended this place for a quick bite to eat before a concert. The decor is stripped back but the flavours are not. We both went for the Jollof rice, me with mutton stew, which was wonderfully spicy. We accompanied this with Nigerian Guinness (7.5%, be warned). We grabbed a bag of cinnamon puff puffs to go for dessert which were like donut holes. We left happily full. Hope to return and try some other items from the menu. Service was very friendly too. Recommended.
