Divine African and Caribbean — Restaurant in Birmingham

Bought a Groupon Voucher & visited this restaurant with an open mind thinking it couldn't be that bad. I could not believe what I entered into when I got there. The dining area was as though I had stepped back 50 years!!!!! Decor was dark and dreary and the TV was so loud, I couldn't hear myself think. As for the food.......I can only say, it is by far my worst experience in ANY restaurant I have been to. .... EVER.......Best not to advertise Carribbean food ...is the only advice I can give..... I had oxtail, rice and peas which is usually my favourite Carribbean dish. It was heated from frozen and tasteless. Not good at all. There was no ambierce just a feeling of depression and anxiety. I almost ran out before food was swrved but thought "let me remain professional and stick it out". Maybe good for someone who wants a good old fashioned Nigerian experience but certainly not for me.... so sorry, I gave one star but really didn't deserve any. The lady who served us was lovely and well meaning so one...

Decided to try out this place over the other place I go to to see how it compares. This was a great choice. The lady who works there is so lovely, she has a beaming smile while serving her customers! I tried the African food, I have yet to try the Carribbean. I ordered, Banga soup and Egusi soup with Semolina Fufu and Jollof rice. All tasted so good though Banga will always have that spot in my heart. My son loved it too as always. It could have had a little more spicy kick to it, though I'm a spice lover so that's just my personal taste talking. I would definitely come back again. I'll try the Oxtail next...

This restaurant is run by this sweet lovely lady. Despite the restaurant setting, she delivers what Nigerians call a 'home service', where time, love and passion goes into the service and dish, yes, she did take time serving us as she was the only one in the restaurant, but as a chef, a restaurant consultant, and a food business owner, it is one of the freshest and most delicious meals I have ever had in the entire UK, and I have been around. The wait was definitely worth it. BEST NIGERIAN FOOD...
