African Kitchen and Lounge — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

African Kitchen and Lounge should have been named Naija kitchen because it boasts of arguably one of the best menu around the area. Their menu is even richer than some restaurants in Nigeria.

My first experience here, I had semo with Oha or Egusi soup or so. I didn’t really feel it coz my taste buds was still fresh from Naija.

Next experience was the fish and chips. The fish was loaded and very well seasoned. I’m going back for more.

It’s advisable you order that fish before you get there so you can walk-in and start digging in.

The African Kitchen also boasts of a wide range of alcoholic beverages and nonalcoholic beverages. From high end drinks to the Roots (if you know. You know).

Great job guys. Keep the Naija 🇳🇬...

I enjoyed the food. I had swallow ( pounded yam and Bitterleaf..such a delight) had small stout, assorted spice meat, isi ewu and fish. I didn't really like the fish buy hey 3 out of 4 is a good score in my book. It's not like a proper restaurant more like our typical naija canteen but with a UK standard, lol.

It's a small spot so I would not recommend hosting like a group event here. I also will not recommend for a first date but definitely a second or third after you've already made a good first and / or second impression 😀.

Easy to locate. There are ample of parking space available, and the busstop is 6 minutes' walk...

My husband and I visited this place and the food was amazing! We had vegetable soup with assorted meat! The soup was SO delicious and not watery at all! We had the grilled fish which was on another level!! The Abacha, jollof rice was so yummy! The food there took me to heaven!! Good portion size, excellent food and wonderful customer service!! The menu had alot of food which other restaurants don't serve for example grilled fish and abacha. I can't wait to go...
