Why I made this

What's On The Menu Eats started when restaurants began reopening after Covid. People kept asking me where to go for good African food around the UK, so I put together this list: a number of restaurants I've hand-selected, in one place, so you can look for yourself and decide.

Since then I've reviewed a lot of them, always giving my honest take on what worked and what didn't. I've tried plenty of these myself; the rest are on my list.

One of the biggest changes I've seen in that time is how much African restaurants have grown, and how differently they're being marketed. Most people have no idea how many great options are actually out there. It felt important to have one platform that showcases African restaurants across the UK, so that's what this is.
