Colony Restaurant - (Near Redbridge, london)

Akhshaya Niranjan Al Qasr made our birthday party unforgettable. The venue was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers, and the buffet food stayed warm all night. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help. Guests loved the atmosphere and raved about the food. The main hall fit our sixty-person party perfectly and looked stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebration.

Chetan Kalannavar One of the best prawns curry with parotha!!! Prawns were so tender and fresh!! Pilau rice was delicious too!! Would highly recommend visiting here. All the best

Latecarrot Delicious African food and beer. The prices are decent as well. I recommend going on a Friday night, it can get really busy as well so parking can be a bit difficult if you are driving. Can’t wait to go there again

Sangeeth Sebastian An average shop at best. The biriyani is just… okay — definitely not the kind that gives you a “wow” moment. It’s missing soul, personality, and frankly, any ambition. I ordered at 7:30pm and the food arrived at 9:30pm. So here’s a tip: order from this place, put on a full movie, and by the time the screen says “The End”, your food might finally show up. The beef curry is passable, but honestly, show some respect to the beef. It looks like it’s been around longer than I have. Porotta is fine — nothing to complain about, nothing to celebrate either. Try it once if you want to get a hang of the food… or at least the waiting time.

Abdul Hafeez Mohammed I ordered Nihari and Naan which was amazingly tasty. Quantity was sufficient for two people and stomach filling as well. Naan was fresh and hot. Service is very fast. Non veg here is halaal. The restaurant is very spacious and has good seating capacity. The staff is very friendly. The prices are very reasonable. I will definitely visit again.

FM-N We discovered Afrikana as its on our local takeout list. The food is always always top notch. So we decided to celebrate a birthday at Afrikana, we had to book by email as we were a larger party (7 people). We then turned up early to boot. But everyone was welcoming and our table was ready for us immediately. We ordered the ‘meat again’ as a shared plate, the ‘just kebabin’ with lamb and ‘we goat your back’ which is a family favourite and so delicious. We also ordered the loaded mac n cheese for the pasta freak in the group (who was also the birthday person). And extra plantain because I love plantain, and hummus which was served with the softest most delicious pita. We also had pretty much one of every mocktail, they were all delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant was not too loud, so we could hear eachother and talk comfortably, the food was fresh and tasty. We ate till we almost popped. Shout out for the desserts, we had one of each of those too. They were all a taste sensation. Special thanks to the amazing wait staff, who were friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough, even tho we turned up early with a massive party (really sorry about that). The food was amazing atmosphere was lovely, and all at a very reasonable price. If you’re celebrating or want to eat out somewhere that makes delicious food this is the place for you. Special mention for the Afrikana fries, if you like slightly hot piquant sauce this ones for you
