Afri Call Food Gare de Lyon - Restaurant Africain Paris — Restaurant in Paris

Yesterday we tried this restaurant and the service was very disappointing.

We looked forward for a new experience but the lady at the counter definetely ruined it.

I talked french and ordered in a good understanding way. But the lady seemed not to feel like understanding foreigners. She just didnt want to.

I ordered an appetizer and 2 menu. She even asked me if I want my menu size L or XL. With both menus she asked what drinks we want.

I paid and we sat down. Then I saw that she only tiped one menu and the appetizers.

So I went back. She was annoyed but it was her fault but yet she treated me bad. No interest at all.

Then I went back to our table. Another one came and asked it we ordered Foutou, then yet another one came to ask the same. Hell no, I know what I ordered, just because its a dish we dont eat often, I still know what I ordered.

I got my dish and we waited and waited... then I got a spoon to eat, waited waited again until another one came to ask what we ordered. The finally also the appetizers were served and the other dish and we could eat.

The lady is not interested at all, this location is quite small, so she could easily remember which client ordered what food. But if you are not interested then this skill is missing. I saw that they also forgot what others ordered.

Well we come back but only for the food not because of the woman staff. Just treat everyone nice, no matter where they come from or if they enter the location...

I have lived all over the world except for Africa. For a long time, I've wanted to give it a try.

Passed in front of this restaurant, the prices were reasonable and the time was right to give it a try.

I had the Foutou sauce graine (with beef). It was divine.

A manioc purée, reminiscent of sweet potato, but with an added lovely tang. All of it in a delicious well rounded stew.

I highly...

West African food. You can order at the kiosk and there are photos so it’s easy to select from. We got the chicken meal with frites, couscous, plantain. It was super flavorful and the price was affordable. We were able to share the meal easily and were super full. It is self service so don’t be like us and forget to put away...
