Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine africaine

08/09/2024: Discovered by chance, this restaurant is very pleasant, the whole team takes great care. Cooking makes you travel. The boss, former Claudette, took part in the photo game with pleasure. Very nice discovery. See you soon

24/08/2024: A welcome like you might find in Paris. Especially when you come from another Region, this jumps out at you. I needed emergency Wi-Fi access, and they were able to provide this service very quickly. With a smile, patience and good humor. Thanks again.

20/09/2024: Always so delicious and so nice... grandma and grandpa 😉

09/09/2024: Very kind lady from Gondar. You get typical Ethiopian hospitality and food in the heart of Paris.

24/11/2024: Authentic cuisine. The decor and service are very friendly

25/10/2024: A total change of scenery, we travel to Ethiopia for a delicious evening meal

15/12/2024: I'm not going back because the boss allows himself to make derogatory remarks to you 4 throughout the meal, bordering on being insistent. I left angry, he ruined our meal. For him it's humor and he didn't even have the tact to apologize. I don't recommend it just because it spoils the good food they offer.

14/12/2024: Very good restaurant, we were served quickly, very good food and friendly service. Thank you, I will come back

30/12/2024: Canteen style restaurant. You help yourself. Receptionist is an apprentice with little culinary knowledge. The beef is hearty and good, but you don't have to look further than to fill your belly.

27/12/2024: Incredibly good, as someone who loves African food, it was a delight. The Yassa mafe and chicken reminded me of my Malian friend's cuisine, it was a great experience. The chef is super nice. Go for it!

09/07/2025: My favorite oriental restaurant in Toulouse, and by far the best. Always a warm welcome, super friendly staff, and excellent, plentiful food. You really get what you pay for, and it feels good. Nostalgia for Algeria: it's my favorite little restaurant. And my husband approves!

06/07/2025: It's simply delicious and authentic. The wait to take your order can be quite long depending on the day and time of year, as there are often many tables and customers to serve. However, the staff is very welcoming and friendly, and you quickly forget the wait once you start eating the dishes. The quantity, quality, cooking, and flavors are all there. The place is beautiful and authentic, and it's a pleasant place to eat with family or friends. Price-wise, it's very affordable compared to other restaurants of the same genre. Perhaps a slight drawback is the noisy aspect of the place, which, I think due to its design and the fact that there are many tables and people, makes it resonate a lot. It can create a very convivial atmosphere, but it can also be a bit disruptive when it comes to hearing each other.

12/11/2024: We had dinner there Saturday evening at 6. We were quickly served, and the dishes were excellent, both in terms of the quality of the meats and the size of the dishes. The Landes salad is huge! I left with a doggy bag! Around 9:30 p.m., there was a power cut. Which was due to Enedis and not at all a problem in the restaurant. The atmosphere was very original since the lighting was done by all cell phones! The servers went out of their way to continue their service and remained attentive to keep us informed. And when it was time to pay the bill, they offered appetizers and ice cream. Hat ! We highly recommend it.

21/10/2024: Great restaurant, an address to remember! We've been here several times and we're never disappointed!

30/09/2024: A trip to Ethiopia, the welcome, the place, the flavors. A very nice moment every time.

24/09/2024: Fantastic Ethiopian food in Bordeaux central. We shared the platter, 1 serve meat/veg and the other vegetarion, it was heaps of food for 2 people. A great mix of all the popular dishes. Plus Ethiopian liquor and beers. A great experience and would definitely recommend.

19/08/2024: Together with Eze The Glocalizer (@eze_theglocalizer) I went to visit L’embuscade to try out their menu for Black Love of Food (@blackloveoffood)! We loved that the place is fully vegan and black-owned. Eze is Cameroonian so to see a fellow Cameroonian owner of such a gem, was obviously extra heartwarming. And yes, I said it: a gem. What a place with dope food. Think African fine dining but without the crazy fine dining prices. We literally had to ask for some explanations for the dishes (also out of curiosity) and you’re taken on a journey of different African countries such as Senegal and of course Cameroon. What did we taste? Drinks: Ginger Lemonade Passionfruit Lemonade — delicious, fresh, those tropical flavours never get boring. Could literally drink it everyday. We went for alcohol free but ngl that the cocktails looked stellar and there was a cue for it lol. Appetizers: Cantaloupe Melon and Safou Tartar Crostini with Saka Saka and Pineapple Flambé — Literally things I’ve never seen on a menu before let alone taste. It was so good. I’m not really one for any type of tartar (which is why it was initially Eze’s dish) but I can truly say it was good, soft on the tongue and really nicely combined in terms of flavour. The crostini was so good I almost melted. Mains: Mbakhalou Saloum (A Senegalese bowl with a rice base, peanut sauce, black eyed peas, West-African spices and a tamarind glazed portobello mushroom skewer) Mbongo Tofu (A Cameroonian bowl with soy beans, tofu, white sweet potato, sautéed spinach with Mbongo spices, kale and oven baked plantain) — These bowls were so gooood. I loved the incorporation of West-African spices, filled bowls with so much flavour but also so good for the body. You could feel that they know what’s good for you in all of the senses. We are from each other’s bowls and were sad when they were empty but oh so grateful. Desserts: Los Diablitos (mini beignets with dark chocolate on a bed of pear, caramel drizzle and shredded coconut) Flambeur (plantain flambé with rum, oat crumble and ice cream) — These combinations were surprising yet heavenly! We are both not a great fan of liquor in desserts but L’embuscade did the damn thing. With plantain?? Come on now. Creative, delicious, just head over there already. L’embuscade knows what they’re doing. They also host private events in a nook in the back and their underground cosy club. The owner is such a generous person and literally introduced as to another African restaurant owner that we will tell you more about soon. Their spirit is warm and the audience is so diverse. That’s really lovely to see as someone in the African diaspora, cause indeed, we should get to know these flavours more. Africa is such a big and diverse continent where food is at the heart of the many different cultures. 10/10, don’t miss out on this place in your lifetime, ok?? Ok.

26/07/2024: Very good food and super friendly staff! :) I loved !

25/01/2025: Superbe restaurant service irréprochable

23/01/2025: Unfortunately very bad culinary experience for my part I must have come across the wrong chef or the wrong day But. All my dishes were extremely bad A choukchouka with powdered eggs in an oil bath And kofta balls without any flavor, abnormally round and very small, as if they were not homemade. A big red card for this kitchen

02/12/2024: Superb welcome, refined dish with lots of flavor. The reputation of the culinary specialties of Ethiopian cuisine is deserved, I really recommend this restaurant.

23/11/2024: We took the dish to share for 2, it was excellent and we were able to make a doggy bag with what was left 🤗 we took the homemade fruit juices which are very good too!

04/07/2025: One of the best meals I’ve had in France

03/07/2025: Very good African restaurant in Marseille, I recommend it 1000% 😍😍 The waitress was attentive and very welcoming, plus the dishes were more than delicious with very generous portions! And there was air conditioning!

30/08/2024: Discovery of the week in Puteaux I push the door of the restaurant at the end of the day The weather is very good, patio at the back of the room Decoration by appointment Pretty good starter and main course I'm going for the braised fish I found that the seasoning was not spicy, quite light. The texture of the fish was elastic and some parts were undercooked. The aperitif was great as well as the very attentive service.

27/08/2024: This place is a gem... The cuisine is incredibly refined. The decor too! .. The bar tartare and the bissap mousse are to die for 🙌🏾the team takes great care and the owner is very warm.... In short, a great discovery...! I obviously recommend... See you soon surely...

18/09/2024: Best couscous of my life! Super hearty! Top notch service! We went to Orange on the way back from vacation and it was our best decision! Go there with your eyes closed and enjoy! We even had two portions to take away.

18/09/2024: The best couscous of my life but only one downside; almost too rich But what a delight!!! The staff is friendly and we even ordered two portions to take away for the family
