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!
Update: 2 stars down for following reasons:
I went there again. This time the lamb in the stew was very gristly and fatty. It was horrible. They've either used poor cuts of meat or they haven't bothered cleaning up the meat.
Also after I left, I noticed there was a charge on the receipt for "tree planting"!!!!!!
They never made me aware of this! Did not see any info on this anywhere!

Original review:
Food was very nice. I had the large Joloff rice with half Chicken and half Mutton stew.
1 star down for following reasons:
- large portion is not that large. Should be bigger. It was was comparable to a regular takeaway tub from Kokoro for example.
2 - Young lad wasn't realising he was sticking his thumb into the rice whilst filling up the container. I had to tell him.
3 - all chairs/stools are tucked into the table - makes it look unwelcoming. I guess they do this because of limited space. But just have 50% of the chairs/stools pulled out as normal.
Will come back.
Just gets better and better, big big fan of the jollof rice. In fact I’m a big fan of everything!!!! My fav business in Basingstoke!
I’m Turkish and love trying new foods and honestly I’m so happy I tried this amazing small business, it’s shocking to see low reviews when there is nothing to complain about.
They’re human too and honestly deserve more understanding, and either way even if there was a wait for the food it’s darn well worth it because it’s soooo beautifully made and so flavourful.
I recommend this place alot to the point I’ll for sure get my brother and his GF to come with me next time
The vibes are 1000/10 also, the staff are super friendly and I don’t feel judged even when I do sometimes pronounce things wrongly, and that’s fine cuz we’re all human.
Please try them out cuz it’s 100% worth it!
