I used to be a regular here before I moved away. I was in the area visiting family, so thought I would pick some food up to take home as we always really enjoyed it.I did not recognise the woman that served me today, but she was a little unfriendly at best. She charged me £12 for a dish that on the menu was £10. I tried to politely query this, and she said that's not our prices. I pointed out its from the menu. She refused to engage and wouldn't make eye contact and moved on to the next customer. If it was the case that the paper menu prices were out of date, she could have just said that. It came across unwelcoming.on a positive note the food still tastes great, but the puff puffs were half the size they used to be.

If I can give 0 star I would.The meat was barely cooked chewy and had uncooked (inedible bits) and just when I thought I'll use only the soup (and removed the meat). I found a large piece of PLASTIC!!!! Terrible!!!!

Customer service is pretty basic as is the food. The jolloff rice and meat tasted okay. But has a strange smell to it. The puff puff was soaked in oil. It was quite long winded to place an order via Uber eats. So eventually we called up to order. They were out of most items and eventually we just called and placed the order for collection. I wouldn’t order from them in the future. The food was really not that great.I’m giving 2 stars mainly due to Large portions.

Came with a friend after a nice day out wanting to try something different. Unfortunately it wasn't great. The waitress seemed so uninterested and bored, very poor communication and just seemed to want to be elsewhere, the menu was very confusingly layed out and made little to no sense,l and the takeaway computer was singing at max volume constantly so it was very difficult to have a peaceful meal. still the puff puffs where good, though I think I'll be going elsewhere next time

The jollof rice and grilled fish was extremely tasty, freshly cooked, well seasoned, and generous in portion. Great presentation! I cannot wait to taste more of their offerings, particularly their soups.The customer service was friendly and responsive. Honestly, the best jollof rice I've tasted outside Nigeria!If you are visiting Colchester or the surrounding areas, make sure you stop by Chez Afrique! There's also an African Caribbean grocery next door with a multitude of options.Highly recommend!

Do yourself a favor and eat here. The food is interesting and different, but over all, incredibly good. I wish I lived closer to Colchester so I could come more often. The atmosphere is great and the staff are very welcoming and efficient, they make you feel like home. The prices were very, very affordable.Can't possibly recommend this place more, what are you waiting for?

We have ordered food from chez afrique three times. Firstly for our meet&greet event, secondly for our Christmas dinner and for our summer social . The portion sizes were really good each time and everyone really enjoyed the food - the Jollof rice especially! The price is decent as well and you get really good value for money.

Lovely little taste of Africa. After Google recommended this to me I put it on my 'want to go' list and today was the day!Popped in for lunch, It was quiet when we entered and we were greeted by a lovely young lady at the counter. We sat down and looked over the menus but I ultimately asked for a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. I had the jollof rice with mixed meats (chicken and beef), lovely. My buddy had the Nigerian red stew with white rice and plantain which he really enjoyed too.It's decorated with colourful pictures and wooden planks of dark woods.Maybe a little highly priced but it's a good size portion and great food so I'd says it's worth it.Ill definitely be back for more, and soon.They seem to be on just eat and deliveroo too but I'd suggest popping in if you can.

Shocking. Ordered assorted meat but probably received the leftovers before they closed today. Meat wasn’t meat as it was chewy hard skin of animals that you couldn’t even tell what it was. Taste of the rice was pretty bland but spicey. I’ve ate better, wouldn’t order again. Well overpriced for the quality.

Rice was okay, but How can you serve rice with boiled chicken not even fried. It was just ridiculous. The service was very awful, never going back. Told me I had to pay additional £1 to dine in which was ridiculous. Disgraceful
