I'm up in Columbus for work for the next six weeks so I've been trying different foods out. This is the fifth African restaurant I've tried during my time here and it's been the best one by far. A couple of the others have been great and a couple have been good but Afra was superb. The storefront was impeccably clean and the gentleman working up front was swift and kind. Got the food back to my hotel and I could tell it was a masterpiece before the first bite. The largest portion of lamb I've gotten in any dish I've purchased in Columbus and it was cooked perfectly. Tender, juicy, falling right off of the bone. The Jollof rice with the noodles, beans and pickled red onions with the green and orange sauces is where the magic truly is. Perfect combination of sweet heat and the beef pastry I bought with it made for the perfect appetizer. If you're in the area and looking for good African food, you're only doing yourself a disservice by not eating here. I'll absolutely be back.

the portion sizes were decent for the Roasted Lamb Shank. the beans were amazing! should have ordered more. the Chicken Quesadilla was also on point and fries were hot and fresh. my only complaint was that my lamb Shank was too tough. the flavor was there.. it just missed the mark on tenderness. Will order again in the future and see if that was a one off.. other than that. worth trying for sure. the Pic for the Chicken Quesadilla was after my greedy butt daughter had already ate half of it. so just know the portion sizes are bigger that the pic I showed for the Quesadilla.

Afra grill is one of my favorites at Easton. their food is so flavorful and delicious that I am always ordering from them. Chicken Afra Bowl is delicious but I am partial to the Chicken Suqaar. the beef Sanbus is kind of like an empanada but waayyy better. definitely give them a try! you will not be disappointed.

This is my second time ordering. The Roasted Lamb Shank was better this time. Much more tender. However, all the food in general was very cold but still good. The FUFU Soup Flavorful Peanut Soup. was just barely half full, and that is what ultimately got the point deducted, plus it being cold. the bowl should atleast be fulI. I would also suggest better concealment packaging for the cup as my hibiscus juice looked tampered with and I had to discard it due to that. A sticker on and around the cup may slow that a bit. I was also missing the Extra Basbaas Sauce (Spicy) and Extra Afra fantastic Spicy Sauce as I ordered extra and received neither. That was disappointing. Other than that it's still good food but it may be worth it to go in and get it yourself. It would also be nice to order extra beans and salad as they are delicious and I would certainly pay extra for it.

The Salmon Fish Bowl was really good. Nice portion of fish. The plantains were really good, some crispy bits made them delicious!
