African inspired food with a modern twist; from grilled chicken to our house specials. Serving حلال food with veggie & vegan options too! Afrikana first began it’s journey in 2018 in a small village called Aldridge in the Midlands. The vision was to bring authentic home-cooked African inspired dishes to the main high street and incorporate them in dishes most loved by our consumers!

I went along with my husband and children. We were greeted very warmly on arrival. We had not booked a table, but in the large, spacious restaurant, we were seated in a large booth immediately. The young lady that was serving us was exceedingly friendly and helpful from start to finish. She solely made our whole evening very pleasant. She deserves a pay rise! I have visited Afrikana twice before, and each time, I can honestly say that the service was amazing from everyone. My son ordered an item which the server quickly pointed out that it was quite spicy so we opted for something different for him. This was honestly a blessing. We have been to restaurants before where food orders are simply taken with no advice or recommendations made. The food was all lovely. The chicken I ate was slightly tough but the flavours were all delicious. The restaurant is fully halal with a dry bar serving delicious mocktails. There is also a small prayer room that accommodates 3-4 people at a time. The toilets are nicely decorated and kept clean. I would definitely recommend Afrikana for a delicious meal, in beautiful surroundings, and with excellent service.
