👍👍 Variety of Naija dishes served in a very conducive environment. The guys running the place are quite courteous, polite and helpful. Unarguably. One of the high points of my visit to Cardiff. Will sure visit again anytime I find myself in Cardiff in the future. People often mention experience,

    I'm delighted to share that I thoroughly enjoy the Afro Lounge for its delectable Nigerian dishes. The restaurant creates a fantastic dining experience, offering authentic flavors and a warm atmosphere. It's my go-to place for savoring the richness of Nigerian cuisine.

    We've wanted to try something different and were surprised how tasty it actually was. Friendly staff, always willing to help you with the menu and recommend what's best for you. If I get a chance, I'll definitely come back!

    What a tremendous experience eating delicious food with friends in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We loved the suya spice and the gentleman owner of the establishment allowed me to take a tub home (gratis). A kingly gesture to top off a fabulous evening. 6 stars.

    I was delighted to be drawn outside of my usual choices on Whitchurch Road, and find food I greatly enjoyed as entirely reminiscent of my limited experience in African countries. It was my first taste of Nigerian food though, and it’s created a desire to try more! We ordered 2 “jalof rice with meat”, and at the last minute my brain followed my watering mouth to order “white soup” with goat meat. The rice dishes reminded me of the African spicing I’ve eaten on the continent: they had strong heat, to accompany the tasty authentic cuts of meat. Some people might experience one or two chunks of the meat as chewy. I think cooking it for a little longer could remedy this - but it’s how I remember the texture of African cooking, so it was perfect for me. When I collected the food for takeaway, the friendly and warm staff asked how I know about the soup dish. I hadn’t had that before but was too drawn not to try. It was a spice taste sensation! Very strong, (white?) pepper flavour, that complimented the perfectly cooked goat meat. I thought it was delicious. Thank you so much, I hope to see you very soon. Final thought: perhaps you might have a menu in the window that describes the ingredients / flavours of the dishes, that way more people might be tempted into trying this unique and hugely enjoyable experience.

    Love the suya [peppered grilled beef]. The peppersoup is really good and there's other good dishes on the menu. Try the Nigerian Fanta and stout. The food is really good.

    We had a nice time at Afro Lounge. We ordered a plate of jollof rice and fish with plantain and pounded yam with seafood okra soup. The pounded yam was great and the fish was well seasoned. The jollof was okay but the fish and plantain made up for it. The service could have been better. We appreciated that we could place our order in advance over the phone. However, when we arrived, we weren't offered a drinks menu and had to ask to order drinks. When our drinks arrived, we were handed a bottle opener instead having the drinks opened for us. After our food arrived, no one checked how we found our food and we waited a while to get their attention for the bill. Overall, it was a positive experience and the manager seemed receptive to our feedback, so we trust it will be actioned for next time. We will be back for our discount 😉
