Awani Restaurant Africain sur Lyon

We came in search of foutou, and what a surprise to find it on the menu at this restaurant! As soon as the foutou arrived, I was transported into a kind of trance by the aromas, the vibrant colors, and the different textures. The first bite made my heart race; it was so exquisite and refined. Despite the unfamiliar flavors, I found my inner peace. The owner was incredibly courteous. Our goal achieved, we left forever changed. Thank you for this unforgettable experience; I highly recommend this establishment.

I had an incredibly tasty and very filling meal here. They have great vegetarian/vegan options as well as interesting cocktails! 🍹 😋

Fantastic experience, very friendly and responsive staff. The attieke with fish and the foutou with palm nut sauce are delicious, and the portions are generous. Very accessible for people with gluten and lactose intolerances; the staff can also recommend dishes suitable for them. I'll definitely be back!

An excellent restaurant that I recommend without hesitation! The owner is very welcoming, warm, and attentive to her customers. The service is impeccable, quick, and professional. As for the dishes, they are delicious, generous, and prepared with great care. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the passion for cooking. A truly wonderful experience; I will gladly return!

I loved the food, as usual. I was very disappointed by the wait. I waited an hour and fifteen minutes for my meal. I usually leave after 30 minutes. Since I love eating at Awani, I waited this time anyway. Overall, it was alright, especially the service. I still love you all. See you soon.

For a first time, it was really great, we had a fantastic time!

I used Uber Eats...to have a quiet lunch in a park...just excellent.

What a great place with fantastic food and friendly service and reasonable prices! The owner is friendly and was eager to help us choose what to order. We came in hungry and walked out feeling fully satisfied.

I really enjoyed it; honestly, I've eaten it in many African restaurants. But the food at AWANI is truly incredible, especially the very warm welcome. I 100% recommend it. I'm not from Lyon, I was looking for a good African restaurant, I stumbled upon it and read the reviews, which were amazing, so I went and I loved it. Thank you to the owner and the whole team.

I loved this restaurant. The hostess was eager to share her traditions with us. We received a very warm welcome. She described the different dishes clearly. We tried some dishes with goat meat. A wonderful discovery!
