“ Great place to eat. Menu has good selection of foods. Great customer service Staff was helpful and explained what was on offer. I had the fish and chips which was the best I've had. The fish was well seasoned and the chips were saucy and great. My friend had the curry goat and we had a side of rice and plantain. Had the island dream cocktail and it was faultless. I would definitely have this again. ”
“ It's a really good place to grab a quick bite. The service is good, the food is extremely tasty, and the portions are very generous. We went for the chicken wraps, one with Afrikana sauce, and the other with Fire Peri. They were both amazing (10/10). We also had the lady finger fries (10/10). All in all, a good dine! ”
“ Every time I’ve dined here whether in their restaurants or at their lakeside branch, the food has all been great full of flavour. The staff are always friendly here willing to answer any questions or give suggestions or menu recommendations. The portions are great and it’s the closest thing to ‘home’ food in the shopping centre. Would defo recommend ‘we goat your back’ and ‘chicken check mate’ every time. ”
“ The food is very tasty with the spicy items having a nice kick. Good authentic taste and a nice change from the fast food outlets surrounding it. ”

“ Fantastic find! First time we’ve got anything from Africana Lakeside -& it was well worth it. Real food full of flavour, great portion sizes too! I Between us we had the Wrap - which was stuffed to the rafters of delicious ‘Soul’food & flavours, lovely big slices of fresh red chillies, along with hot chips & a soft drink included in the price. - the BunTrueLove - well- the words uttered while eating were, ‘hmmmm! Delicious! The meat just melts in your mouth, best burger I’ve ever had!’ Staff were friendly and helped guide me thru their process & you can see the chefs freshly cooking everything in the background. We left totally full up & satisfied. Now that we have found Africans .. we will be back . Hope they get to open a restaurant or two - near me! ”
