Seven Years of Flavour: Afrikana’s Bold Journey Continues

On 28th November 2025, Afrikana officially celebrated a massive milestone: our 7th Anniversary.

It started with one bold idea, a love for authentic flavour, and a vision to bring people together. Fast forward seven years, and that single spark has ignited into a flame that burns across 18 stores throughout the UK. Marking this anniversary is about celebrating the vibrant community that got us here. From the first grill fired up to the latest plate served, this journey is defined by culture, connection, and the energy you feel the moment you walk through our doors.

The Next Chapter: Massive New Afrikana Drops

Building on the electric energy of our recent openings in Ilford, Star City, and Nottingham, we are ready to bring the Afrikana vibe to even more neighbourhoods. We are thrilled to announce some major new drops coming soon:

• Marble Arch, Edgware Road

• Uxbridge

• Leeds

And that’s just the beginning. We have a few secret locations up our sleeves that we can’t reveal just yet, so keep your eyes peeled. This expansion is our promise to you: big energy, bigger flavour.

A Piece of Afrikana at Home: Sauces Head to Retail

You asked, we listened. For years, the secret to our flame-grilled success has been the sauce, the sticky, spicy, soulful heart of the Afrikana flavour experience. We are incredibly excited to confirm that our signature sauces are finally heading to retail.

Soon, you won’t have to wait for a table to get your fix. You’ll be able to take a piece of Afrikana home, stocking your fridge with the bold, finger-lickin' good taste you love. Whether it’s a family dinner or a quick snack, you can now add that unmistakable Afrikana kick to every meal.

Highlights: The Journey So Far

• From One to Eighteen: Growing from a humble start to a nationwide family of 18 stores.

• Culture on a Plate: Consistently serving up bold dishes that tell a story.

• Community Connection: Creating spaces where moments are shared, from student freshers' feasts to family celebrations.

• Retail Revolution: Taking our legendary sauces from our kitchens to your cupboards.

Building the Legacy

Seven years mark a massive achievement for the Afrikana family, but the real magic lies in the connections we've built along the way. To every guest who has broken bread with us, shared a platter, or celebrated a milestone at our tables, thank you.
