The amazing decor makes for an incredibly exciting restaurant, however we went for the food. Not surprisingly we were totally overwhelmed with all the amazing meals. Everything was expertly flavoured and the beef was perfectly cooked. My dear friend asked if it was even possible to ever have such a perfect piece of beef again, and we asked that they brought out another serve, but half the original portion size and all I can say is, “god damn” it was still perfect!
I’m not sure why everyone isn’t raving about the cauliflower more, it was sweet bro!
Sorry we won’t be coming back for a while, as we don’t live in SA and it makes no sense to fly our husbands over just to get the feed me meal. They loved it so much they ate our share as well and we had to buy our own extra serves. I’m glad we paid $300 for four serves of the feed me meal though! Definitely worth it!!!
Extra points to the incredible staff for dealing with a nearby table of extremely obnoxious and disrespectful assholes in a very professional manner. Allowing the rest of the diners to enjoy their evening.
Fuck yeah Africola!!
This was my third Afri-experience and continues to exceed expectations. Easy to understand why regularly rated one of the best restaurants in the country. Sensational food quality - course after course after course. Generous servings. Nails the sharing plate style elegantly. Perfectly-balanced wine list. Knockout cocktails. Buzzing yet unpretentious vibe. On song, on time wait staff. And you'll be most satisfied at the value - particularly if you suffer under Sydney or Melbourne "bill wank".
Book in advance. If only late is available: take it. If it is by the bar: definitely take it.
Whilst all the food was good it was kind of disappointing that they still aren’t doing the al a carte purely because the set menu is 80% vegetables :( In saying that everything was still nice and the service was amazing. Will be coming back but not until they’re offering their usual amazing menu
Africola was as good as takeaway as it is to eat in. Ordering was easy and it arrived as promised. Food was, as expected, delicious.
We visited Africola for dinner which is probably the coolest restaurant in South Australia and really reminded me of some of the fun eateries in London, turns out the owner is from the UK and has settled in Adelaide, lucky for us he’s brought an immaculately styled venue with a killer atmosphere.
Food wise my favourite was the peri peri chicken and the yummy carrot side (note the menu listed here is not current). The chicken skin sandwich is kind of a signature but I wasn’t a huge fan. If you can book into the open kitchen seating that would be a really cool experience also.

Went to Africola to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary.
Service was amazing! From the call to book (they accomodate our request for 6:30pm even when only having a spot for 6pm) to the girls that looked after us and were very friendly and attentive.
Great selection of wine- we couldn’t decide between two awesome wines so they allowed us to have a taste of both. That made my life easier lol
We had the Feed Me menu and were not disappointed! Food was delicious and good size portions- although to be honest, I didn’t like the sprouted lentil salad ☹️
Tea sandwich- 🤤 that crunchy skin chicken was yum!
Mussels to die for! The broth was another level!
Peri Peri Chicken and chargrilled padron were great! Dahl was delicious- one of my favourite! The big surprise for me was dessert, we had the custard (something I would have personally never ordered) but was a nice end to our night; custard was set and not overly sweet contrasting beautifully with the honey kataifi?.
Thanks for a great night with a fantastic flavours experience!
The food is unique and very tasty. Nothing will disappoint in the dishes made to share, comprising tender meat selections as well as thought-out vegetarian pleasers (loved the spicy chickpeas). The funky wait staff are professional, friendly and attentive. It’s also worth a visit to soak up the quirky decor of artwork adorning every wall space and the vibrant atmosphere set on picturesque East Terrace.
Even if the food at Africola was unremarkable, it would still be fun. The space is colourful and loud, the staff are happy and really know their shit. And then there’s the extensive choice of wines. The food is fabulous! Generous serves of tasty contemporary takes on anything and everything African. Worthy of the hype!
This place is great to go with a group of people and just share a whole bunch of dishes. They’ll offer you the banquet at $75 per person but it’s cheaper if you just order a bunch of dishes yourself.
Everything was delicious! HIGH RECOMMEND THE EGGPLANT DISH!!! Service was prompt and atmosphere was really cool.
Really enjoyed the experience on Saturday night. We were put at the bar because they were so busy but this was great. We started with a couple of delicious cocktails and then went on to order 2 x ‘feed me’ meals. My partner is vegetarian and we are often disappointed when eating out with the lack of selection. The cocktail waitress said we cater for all types of diets here and we’d love to do a vegetarian ‘feed me’. Let me just say it was almost more delicious than my non-veg. The flavors are fantastic. I said to my partner - this is an Adelaide chinchin. The final touch was a chocolate mousse dessert to die for. OMG! Are you serious?!!! Unbelievably delicious and I could just rock up next time for that. Thank you Africola. We can’t wait to come back.
Beautiful atmosphere,live kitchen,friendly and well informed staff.
Crispy tea sandwich is a much try!lentil salad was fresh and lemony,periperi chicken was just perfect spiced.
Will go again!!
Wow a great night out started with a fantastic meal at this hip atmosphere and great staff place.
We were introduced to Southern African food with a great vibe which was served by excellent staff.
No wonder it’s hard to get a booking, but well worth the effort.
Choose the Feed Me option and sit back to relax and watch the chefs do there thing with great skill.
Didn’t have to wait long for them to delivery the first meal.
We will be back!!!!
Loved the feed me experience and the intimate ambience. Staff are very friendly and the food overall was really great. I didn't like certain flavours (that's my personal preference) whereas my husband preferred them vice versa.
This is a $75pp sharing menu

Really good dining experience here. Enjoyed the contemporary African food which is a very different experience from the traditional African dishes I've had in the past. Plenty of food served too for $75 per head which is great value for money. Definitely would recommend it. Yours truly @fooderarri
We enjoyed every dish in the tasting menu. Well worth the $ and good value. Staff are very friendly. Very good turnaround- no waits. Good 2hours in amazing vibes. Highly recommended
What a stunning meal! We loved every single dish and was wowed each time. The veggie dishes were definitely the highlight. So many layers to the flavours and a wonderful and balanced mix of textures. We're visiting from Sydney and saw all the great reviews online so booked it in for a Wed dinner and I'm so glad we did! This was such a unique flavour journey, I can not recommend it enough. Service was lovely too! And the area is very cute, a lot of bars and quietish streets to walk around. Do yourself a favour and PLEASE come here!
Wow! You can see why Africola gets great reviews. The flavor combinations on their dishes is incredibly well done.
The service was outstanding, constantly on top of filling up drinks.
Our booking was at 6:30 and it felt a little rushed, dishes were coming out quickly, sometimes multiple at once. They might have had a booking right after us, but, would have enjoyed the experience more with one dish coming out at a time. Otherwise, it was fantastic !
So bloody good! Feed me menu had heaps of food, all was really fresh and delicious. When reading the menu a lot of it actually didn’t appeal to me but I was wrong, mushrooms, falafel and kingfish were stand outside for me. Service was really friendly and everything came out really quickly. Definitely would go back
Friendly and attentive staff despite a packed restaurant. Glass of water was always full. Everybody is served a randomised selection from a larger menu and we can request specific dishes to have or to avoid.
Decided to be adventurous and did not avoid any dishes despite one of the group's initial reservations towards tofu cream. As luck would have it, we got the kolrahbi and tofu cream but it turned out to be amazing and balanced.
After the amazing meal, I thought surely the kitchen would have had to compromise some effort on dessert. They turned out to be phenomenal dishes. The chocolate mousse was rich but not overly sweet. Amazing depth from the cocoa and well balanced served with the creme fraiche. The nectarine sorbet tasted fresh and sweet, full of natural nectarine flavour that matched the amazing intensity of every other dish that night.
