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!
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.
We went for a different Sunday lunch. The reviews are always good and we’d not been
The food was really good. We both had rice and peas but I had lamb and my wife had chicken. I also had a side of plantain as I love it. Drinks were a milkshake and a ginger and pineapple drinks
Everything was excellent. The chicken stew was tasty and delicious and the lamb had a nice spice and was very full of flavour. The plantain wasn’t supper sweet which was good and both drinks were nice and refreshing. Rice and peas were nice and cooked perfectly.
The staff were polite and prompt and food came very quickly. Would definitely recomend! 👍🏻
My wife and I visited Afrizi for our anniversary after a recommendation from a friend, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The food was incredibly flavourful, fresh, and truly touched our souls with its authenticity - you can tell every dish is made with love and tradition. We enjoyed everything we ordered: the perfectly fried plantains, juicy chicken wings, delicious mutton stew with jollof rice, and the chicken stew with jollof rice. Every bite was a delight! To make our celebration extra special, the lovely team surprised us with complimentary puff-puffs topped with biscoff, coconut, and pistachios - such a thoughtful and delicious touch.
The staff were warm, polite, and provided exceptional customer service throughout our meal. We also loved their niche selection of beers and ciders, which paired wonderfully with the food. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. Afrizi is truly a hidden gem in Basingstoke, and we can’t wait to return to try even more dishes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Nigerian cuisine and a wonderful dining experience!
Ate here Oct 31st 2025. 2 adults 1 child. The menu is not huge but every dish we had was excellent. 3 courses each plus smoothies and cocktails. Absolutely perfect.
