Was a pleasant discovery on an evening stroll, made my day on my first day in room
Fantastic African food. I strongly recommend visiting. You won't be disappointed.
Great Restaurant. Delicious meals. Best African Restaurant in Rome. Neat and friendly staff.
Great place for food and cocktails! It's a little bit hidden, but amazing!!
Everyone should eat here. Everyone in Rome. Do not confuse this pace with Afrik. They're fake. They're false. Fugazi. They're trying to steal the presence of Afrish.Afrish has the best jollof rice and Nigerian food in the city. Met the owner Henry who takes pride in not only the food, the business, his culture, but the vibe and respect of this place are unmatched in all of Rome.Literally had me and my friends scrambling to come back. There is no bad food here. None. Go for the jollof with beef and thank me later.Took a picture of what I had left... It was so good I had to stop and post a review.
We arrived in Rome on a Sunday and when I tell you we were starving! I kid you not, most of the “ Italian “ restaurants we went to were mostly indian run and the food wasn’t at all what we expected and expensive. We got so desperate we to a Chinese restaurant Zonwa Roman which was actually pretty good and cheap (45) for 2 including drinks, we stumbled upon Afrish while on a hop on/off tour, the food was amazing and price was good, no complaints.
We were Rome for the weekend and searching for a Nigerian restaurant with some good food. Hands down the best Nigerian fried rice that I've ever tasted. The servers were so hospitable. 100% recommended !
We had some grilled fish about three weeks ago, and it was delicious. One of the chefs, a very nice lady, even came to our table to give us recommendations and suggestions. It was a great dining experience.
