Afra Grill

I've had them on my list a while but am not often in this area of town. I came for a late lunch and it was a bit busy. A few folks in line and folks dining in. I wasn't sure what to expect since I assumed the BYO bowls were Americanized. But I saw other Africans in line for the food. The menu seemed more like pan-West African. I got the jollof, veg, corn, spicy chicken, and the spicy Basabaas sauce. Delicious! And tasted pretty authentic to west African seasoning. The sauce was spicy but probably not the spiciest thing I've had.You get a good amount of food for the price. It lasted me two meals! I also tried the hibiscus juice and sambus. Delicious! Can't wait to come back! Next time I'll ask for the Basabaas sauce on top so that I get more of it. I asked for it on the side and kinda wanted more.

This was my first time trying African food and I definitely enjoyed the experience.I ordered the lamb shank with corn, beans, plantains, and fufu w/ peanut soup. My mom was given PeriPeri chicken w/ corn,mixed veggies, and fufu w/ peanut soup. The protein part of the order wasn't correct, but she didn't want to go back and correct the cashier. She thought the food was good.My lamb shank was so tender and was falling off the bone. The seasoning/sauce on the shank was very delicious. The fufu and peanut soup tasted great, especially when you add their side sauce to it. For the amount of food you get, I think it's definitely worth the price. I felt very full by the end of it, even though I spent the whole day without eating up until that point.Upon walking in, we noticed the place was very clean and the staff were accommodating.If I'm in town, I'll definitely reorder that lamb shank.

Cane here as part of Columbus's restaurant week and they had a great deal where you get a bowl, dessert, and samosa. Its a casual eatery set up like an African Chipotle.When we got there, it was a bit of an odd time so they didn't have a lot of the food options. Staff was rather short but I'm sure restaurant week upped the number of guests. They were still pleasant and let us know some things are going to be a wait.Foodwise, I found it all very delicious. I got to try the mango lassi, samosa, and a spicy chicken bowl. I'd say it was decently spicy so probably very spicy for a non-spice chaser. Everything was very flavorful and tasted fresh and I just kept wanting to eat more!

We came here during restaurant week. I had called ahead and was told there would be child high chair; however, there was only one for the entire restaurant. We had two one year olds, so that was a bit difficult to manage. At first, the staff seemed overwhelmed at all the orders, but it camled down.The portion sizes are big and I thought the quality of the food and taste were excellent. I got the chicken suqaar and it was perfectly cooked and paired nicely with the jollof rice. The jollof rice is not spicy in my opinion. The Afra sauce was very good as well, it brought everything together. The beef sambus was nice and truly stuffed with as much meat as they could. i will definiely return. plus point is thag they have an all halal menu.

We went to Afra Grill to try their restaurant week special on a rainy Saturday. It felt a little unorganized and maybe the location on Morse had been inundated with other restaurant week goers. A couple of the proteins advertised were not available (lamb and goat). We also had to wait a bit for a couple of items that were part of the special (the sambusa because they were out and a mango lassi) In that sense, service wasn't quite 5 stars, but the staff was kind and brought the remainder of our order to our table. The food was fantastic in my book. Both my partners bowl and my bowl were filled with flavor. I highly recommend the steak and, if you can handle some heat, try the spicy green sauce and spicy rice. Everything felt home-cooked and comforting. Overall, Afra Grill was just what we needed on a rainy, cold day. We'll definitely be back to try their lamb and goat. P.s. they had a drive thru. We didn't take advantage but check it out if you're in the area on a lunch hour or don't have a ton of time to dine in.

*extremely late post*Very nice restaurant. Not too big but rather quite intimate to a degree. I had the goat and I can still kind of taste it til this day lol. My lady thought her jerk chicken was a tad bit too spicy but I thought hers was good as well. Staff was friendly. Helped us figure out what to order since it was our first time there. I will definitely be back here. Keep up the good work!

Si, this was my first time trying to this and I'm highly disappointed. Highly. I paid $25 and the flavor of the food was not worth that. It's very beautiful inside. I enjoyed playing the drums with my kids. It's very nice and kept up clean restaurant. The energy in there is not so hot. You can tell that the man does not even want to be there. He was not friendly he seemed more irritated that I walked into the restaurant. I would not go eat there again. But everybody taste flavor is not the same. But I wouldn't want to represent my country with these dishes. I've tried many African Restaurant and I was always pleased but this one. I couldn't even finish the food because there's a lot of saltiness to the food. You can tell that food is not made with love and passion. The spicy rice was okay. The only good thing about my order was the salad & fufu.

I will never have anything negative to say about afragrill! They are always warm and welcome. What I love is the owner always speaks and not just makes small talk but seems like he actually cares about his customer. I know I can be in and out on my lunch break without sacrificing time for quality! I usually spend exactly $14 which does not come with a drink or a fancy side but the amount of food and items I receive is perfect for the price! Always flavorful

First time at Afra Grill but it won't be the last. As others have said, this is a Chipotle-style restaurant where you build your meal. The experience was excellent. The person behind the counter patiently explained how the process worked, allowing us to choose our base, protein and sides. We both had the jollof rice, but chose the Afra chicken and the Habo steak so we could try each other's meals. The plantains (maduros) were excellent as were the other sides. The food has some of the depth of Indian food but with different accents. Delicious. We chose to eat in but you can order out as well. The restaurant is immaculately clean and nicely decorated. Even the music was played at a reasonable volume. Definitely recommend and will return.

Great food delicious FuFu my 2nd time at this location once at easton. A little jumbled up this time, the peanut chicken was so good and my son got jerk chicken which was delicious I highly recommend!
