I got there with my partner and experience was very poor I must say. Sharer for 2 people which cost £20. You get one peace of chicken (small) one peace of salmon (small) little pot of curry 3 salad leafs and two sides in my case it was chips and coleslaw both been not more then for one person. They call it 2 people sharer and when we got this one plate we got pretty surprised. After food I went to toilet to wash my hands, tap was just dripping so it took me a while to just do that, didn't even want to touch anything how dirty was inside the toilet. Wouldn't come back or recommend to anyone.

Exceptional place for Nigerian food. This place is Better than Enish in London. I recommend their Suya and cocktails.

Unfortunately I think 2 stars is being generous. The place was empty yet we waiting 20 mins for our drink. The wraps were OK but the chips were extremely greasy and "old". I had to ask for cutlery and napkins which took a while too. Also it would be nice if the person serving actually smiled for once. She just looked like she did not want to be working.

A lovely hidden gem. The goat curry is phenomenal! Pedro greets us with a smile and exceptional service every time, and is probably laughing if he's reading this because my girlfriend and I have eaten roughly our body weight in goat curry over the last year.

Went to Nativ restaurant a couple of nights ago. I am definitely no going back. Sticky dirty menu and tables and the waitress was not helpful at all. I asked information regarding a couple of dishes and she wasn’t able to explain what it was. I have ordered a starter and a main course, both dishes tasted the same all you can taste its chillies 🌶 Also when the waitress took the dishes to our table she didn’t bring any plates, we had to call her a couple of time to get a side plate as the main course came in a hot pan straight from the over.

I guess fair enuf to say that I'm not used to this food and no comparison cos this is first time I tried. Pedro was very nice n patience to introduce the food and also caution me of the taste. Environment : Abit too dim.

We had the shared platter, made up of goat curry, jerked salmon, and the chicken with two sides. Ordered extra side of dumplings and chips. It was all very yummy, quite quick as well, friendly attentive service. Definitely a highlight of our Bournemouth visit!

Very dirty restaurant. I made a phone order and got told it will be 15 minutes. In the end I waited for an hour after driving 20 minutes to get there. Very unprofessional and I wouldn’t recommend this place. Food is abysmal.

I am not going to lie , this is one of the best Nigerian/ African restaurant in the area, quality of food is outstanding, delicious and you can feel the vibe that you are somehow in a African atmosphere, good music, excellent tasty dishes combined with attentive service makes it perfect. Big credit to The owners of the restaurant! Plus nhs , student and emergency services discount! One tip thou , if you are thinking of dining or ordering a take away , pre order the food , the African delicacy will just flow smoothly !

Yesterday I visited Native African restaurant in Bournemouth. I ordered Goat curry with rice and pepper fried goat meat .The both dishes was awesome and also food was very hot .And staff was very kindly and friendly. Thank you Native for providing great taste 😍

really tasty and authentic food. portions are huge so the price reasonable. service was slightly slow but worth the wait so I will defo be coming back

The food is fantastic! The staff are a bit more variable. Some are an absolute delight and really friendly and helpful, for others you need to hunt them down to get them to give you a menu or clear the table. But the food definitely makes it worth it.

Lovely flavourful food! Will certainly be ordering again. The tiliapia fish was so nice

A great little place to enjoy good, freshly cooked food. Nativ gives the impression it's family run, and the staff are happy and smiley. The menu is good. I had a burger and a vegetarian suya, and they were both delicious. Great music in the background. I felt transported to Africa. Very reasonable prices, including drinks. Recommended.

Thought of trying some different and ended up booking a table here. The interiors and music are nice and gives out an African vibe, but the service was a let down. The food was brilliant, meat was perfectly cooked and the goat curry is heavenly. The restaurant was empty but still our food took upwards of half an hour to arrive and was not hot. We had the jerk chicken, salmon, goat curry, jollof rice and plantain which was all delicious, shame the service and food temp was a let down. Might be a one off and will definitely visit again.

This place has gone so downhill! Nothing like it was when it was run by family. The toilet stinks the whole restaurant out it’s so vile and the food quality has changed massively, the taste is not the same at all! So sad as I used to love this place

Absolutely fabulous Jerk food. Highly recommend 😊 You'll need to ask for the spicy sauce if you've ordered Jerk chicken, but the Jollof rice and goat curry was the best I've had in years. A great find which I shall frequent at every given opportunity

The food was good, not outstanding or anything. I expected a bigger portion because of the price. Was surprised by the small portion size. Nice decor but it was cold inside. Should have kept my jacket on haha.

My wedding food was supplied by this restaurant. I must say that he went far and beyond to deliver on the agreed menu and service and he did it right at the appointed time. Everyone that attended loved the food and there was enough to eat and take home.

You know i am surprised not many people know about native. Well you could easy passby without noticing to be fair because its located amidst other stores in a busy area of Bournemouth. Their meal is out of this world, just give it a try and thank me later.

Went here for lunchtime deal. Food was out of this world and absolutely delicious! Only reason why it's not being given 5 stars is the music was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves talk and it was so hot in there, a fan or air con in the hot weather would have been lovely to make it a bit more comfortable.

Nice, ambient environment, with caring service and warm staff, always coming over to ensure we're being served & having a good time. Good food, good price, nice environment, fab locality.

I was missing Nigerian delicacies, so I checked Google Maps for recommendations for places with African foods in Bournemouth. Nativ came out and I decided to give them a try. I went to the restaurant and ordered Nigerian Jollof and Fish peppersoup. They tasted great!
