Africola - Adelaide

We were in a big group. we had no choice what we could get. the waitress on our table was not friendly and was in a hurry.

Wow what a great place! Flavours were amazing, went with the chefs choice and didn't disappoint at all! I would suggest making a booking in advance and when you do choose the table nearest to the kitchen, gets more attention and chef describes with you how he cooks etc... place is a bit pricey but worth it, bit small but cosy, take cash in case eftpos is done as it has been before.

I don't often give a place a five star rating, but Africola really did it for me. Everything was on point: the food was delicious, the staff were both knowledgable and attentive, and the vibe was spot on. Each dish was perfectly balanced, flavourful and more-ish - my dining partner warned me that the eggplant dish was like crack and she was right. I'm still thinking about it days later. We had an entirely vegetarian meal: smoky eggplant dip with freshly baked flatbread, half a head of roast cauliflower with labne and honey, falafels that revealed a bright green interior on first bite, and the afore mentioned crack-like eggplant. The wine was great, the sticky date pudding was to die for, and I was left one very happy camper. I don't live in Adelaide but I'm tempted to book another flight just so I can have another meal here.

This gem offers some of the most amazing food I have ever had. The staff were friendly and excellent at helping when it came to the menu. They were great and polite about dietary requirements. Overall great atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent food and not overalls expensive.

OMG all I can say is go to this place! I haven't had this much joy in eating for a while. All sorts of flavours put together and just mouthwatering. We shared the hummus with lamb, the squid salad, the mussels, the marinated feta and finished with the quince dessert. The place was packed and had an awesome atmosphere. Staff really friendly and passionate about food. Would fly to Adelaide just to go back there.
