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 think as a non-African individual, your first time trying this, the food might be considered fantastic.
But if this was being sold in London, amongst the competition that is TRUE, GENUINE, Nigerian food, you’d be severely disappointed.
The food lacks FLAVOUR, SEASONING, it’s so very bland. And I’m sure other Africans trying this would be disappointed. The food caters to the British palate, but not so much to others. So if you’re new to Nigerian food, go ahead and try it. But just know there is usually so much more DEPTH, FLAVOUR and SEASONING in our food than this.
Was very disappointed, but understandably there is no other Nigerian restaurants around, so when there is a lack of competition, there is a lack of need to change things up.
I hope the recipes for each food item continues to evolve and grow. ✌🏿
A huge pity that this place always seems a bit quiet. The food is great, the service is friendly and polite - with huge smiles all round. Their cocktails are delicious too. Very good place to pop in for a bite.
Sad we had never been here before - we have been missing a lovely treat.
The food is absolutely delicious, the staff are super friendly and welcoming. We're already planning another visit to try more from the menu! Thank you again Afrizi 🫶
