Reviews of Bantu
J. B.The place was great, nice vibes and friendly staff especially Lisa and Nikita. The food was amazing and it was properly seasoned and flavoursome. I tried the Chicken Feet for the first time and wasn’t disappointed. Will definitely be coming back
A. H.Broke my fast here. Food was Halal. Even catered to my dietry requirements. Removed pork ribs and replaced with extra lamb chops on the platter. Clean interior. Helpful and polite staff. The manager was a great guy also. Definitely recommend. Will be seeing me again soon.
E. I.Wonderful customer service and lovely food! My family had no regrets. Although the food is pricey but the taste is extremely pleasing. The seafood platter tray is in the photo. Definitely recommend here
B. “. M.Let's update this review. From 2 stars to 4.5 stars.
New review: My group of 5 people arrived. We were warmly welcomed at the reception and seated at the bar while they prepared our table.
However as with most establishments in the city. It is roadside parking. And the parking enforcement officers are very generous when issuing tickets so please park properly.
The background music was very calming relaxing and mild.
The decor was lovely with many different ornaments, photos and trinkets which is very inviting as you can see from the photos.
They also have furniture for children which means it's okay for family gatherings.
The general restrooms are upstairs. While the disabled restroom is downstairs.
The meal however was top notch. My group had the Seafood and the meat platter which is an appropriate portion for the price. With a very wide variety of different types of meats. However, it's our opinion that the side dishes are very small.
The customer service needs a bit of fine-tuning. But overall we had an amazing evening and the general feedback was satisfactory to very satisfactory.
Well done Bantu
Old review: The ambiance was top notch.. however my crew had issues or a very hard time to get comfortable. Maybe because it was just after restrictions. So am willing to visit again and give a proper review. For now it's a 2 star let us see what happens on my next review.. .
C. C. C. -. O.Went for a wedding dinner party. It was cozy and nice. Had a little delay with food but altogether had a lovely time. The servers were very nice and professional.
K. W.I throughly enjoyed the service, food and drinks. Everything was beyond perfect. My favourite part was the cocktails and of course the wonderful Salvator who made the cocktails. He was super friendly and had good banter. Will definitely be visiting again.
R. L.Food and vibe was amazing, Antonia our waiter was very friendly and vibrant. Mellow the mixologist is an absolute genius with the cocktails .
I. M.Not been before. Nice interior. Menu is small but good. Service was ok, waiter was obviously new as couldn't answer basic questions. Food wait was reasonable and was very nice.
J. O.Food tasted amazing, the staff was so sweet and welcoming. Location is absolutely beautiful. Modern decor with hints of Africa. Definitely child friendly with high chairs and space for a buggy!! Will be coming again. Thanks for the ice cream!! Xx
T.Although the service was a bit slow the stuff was good and very professional, the portions I would say were smaller than.I was expecting but was very well cooked and was very tasty!!!I would recommend

P. B.I give them 5 stars due to their lovely food and customer welcoming nature ☺️, it was unfortunate that it was my birthday and my order was messed up, I waited for almost 2 hours for food but the manager explained why it was late and apologised.

c. m.Antonia is absolutely fab! Good African food! Couldn’t do enough for us.
R. M.Excellent food and service. Friendly atmosphere and made the evening a joyous one for all.
Highly recommended for a first class meal/night out.
N. K.Dropped in on a random trip to Birmingham and had a great time. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Had gone for the crocodile burger but the menu had changed so picked some goat dishes. Totally blown away by the food. Heartily recommend and will be back!
I. V.Great customer service and good food, good African feel from the moment you walk in😁
D. P.First time here and not so pleased sadly! Service extremely slow even though restaurant wasn’t even that busy. Guy at the door was chatting away with his friends we had to go to him to ask to be seated and it took half hr before someone took our drinks order!! Waitress was dragging her feet! We had 4 rounds of cocktails and I can honestly say they were definitely not worth £10.90 per glass! Cocktails were very weak and very average - fancy names on the menu but just were drinking cheap fruit juice on block ice - at those prices you would expect to atleast have crushed ice! Bartender’s entertainment was great though! Food was tasty and it came out hot and on time - it was about the only thing worth paying for on our bill
A. G.Food was served on fancy shaped plates, the taste was average to good.
L. A.I loved every bit of my experience here, from food to music to service, amaaaazzzzinnng!!!
D. B.Went with a group of friends and the food was amazing and the staff were friendly
p. m.5 stars arent enough to describe the top service we receive today excellent customer service from both antonia and michelle
I. I.Everything was good but the portion size and the waiting time!!!
K. D.Jerk chicken skewers were nice! Cooked well, good flavour.
b. d.Great spot!!! Real southern food, couldn’t ask for any better❄️❄️❄️
S. G.Loved it here! The food was top quality and well cooked. The staff were very attentive and contributed to a great vibe. Just wish there was more food on the sharing platters.
K. A.I had dinner there with my husband and children. The food was really tasty. The service was exceptional, the lady who attended to us was really helpful, polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend Bantu😊
c. a.best service, amazing food, all around fantastic restaurants
L. M.The food was stunning, loved every bit of it.The staff was lovely especially Bella ,Dexter and George their service was exceptional.
L. E.Me and my 3 friends went today the music was amazing, the vibes were there, and the service was so exquisite. Would definitely recommend.
J. T.Great food, amazing staff. I enjoyed
B.Absolutely love love love the food at Bantu. Food is delivered within a few minutes from ordering. Portions are filling, customer service is top level and overall ambiance is AMAZING. Cocktails are also super great. Thank you to all staff!
S. W.Love it. Ambience and service was great, but it was the food for me!
B. M.I loved my experience here. The food is amazing especially the tilapia fish which is very affordable and tasty. The ambiance is amazing and unique. If you are looking for an African Restaurant with a twist it's worth a visit!!
B.This place was lovely, the costumer service of the waiters was great and the food was absolutely gorgeous too. Very decent prices. My only comment would be upon arrival the customer service wasn't great with communication. We were told to sign in but not shown where to then was asked why we haven't signed in yet..when the individual didn't clearly instruct on what and where the sign in place is. Other than that it's a 10 out of 10 and I will definitely be going again.
N. N.Absolutely love coming to Bantu have been coming every day for the past month and can’t lie each day has felt like a movie. The food is amazing the staff are so nice and kind but most of all the vibes are vibing. This is the place to be all summer, from dinner dates with the girls to dinner dates with bae or simply coming out by yourself. It’s honestly the one place which gives what its supposed to give. 😭❤️
E. A.Shout out to Waitress Lisa who secured a place for my birthday with my friends urgently,
The day before...
I am truly grateful! The food was also good
I enjoyed my time...
Y. G.Still recovering from my delicious plate of ribs and chakalaka. The pleasantness of the waitresses who attended to me must not go unmentioned. I was thoroughly impressed. Will becoming back soon!!!
g. a.Arthur was a lovely server and it was very patient. The food was okay but one of the servers turned us away even though the restaurant was empty. Bartender was okay.
m.Amazing food!! Definitely reminds me of back home
Got the ugali with beef sukumawiki and the stuff is welcoming and know what they are selling
M.The atmosphere was awesome. Due to staffing levels food and service was slow but the staff were friendly and awesome. The food especially the meat platter was heavenly......worth every penny😍😍.
S.The greatest restaurant with the best food and amazing staff
G. H.Amazing place to hold a team meeting and team lunch or dinner outings. We loved the food. The meat literally fell off the bone - Gain Healthcare CEO.
L. C.Lovely food, lovely staff 😄
M. L.Went there on a Friday evening and it was an amazing experience! Staff were so helpful and friendly and the taste of the food was just too much! Definitely a place to go on dinner dates and to take great pictures. Food took about 25 min however it tasted fresh and juicy so I didn’t mind but overall great for large groups as there was a massive birthday party that looked fun
O. C.Well run restaurant. The food abs the whole vibe is amazing.
a. g.The best restaurent I have ever visited in 10 years. The food is world class. The hospitality of the workers is just next to none. The environment is just refreshing
F. L.We had a lovely meal at Bantu. Fab decor and a nice family environment. Food was delicious. We had sadza and chakalaka for the first time. Would definitely recommend!
G. H.When we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant which was a shame, because the food was amazing! My husband knows African food and he said it was better than he was hoping for. I had tilapia, which I had to wait for, as it was freshly grilled, but it was well worth the wait. Never had tastier fish! I hope more people give this place a try because it would be a shame if it didn't do well.
M. M.I was glad we picked this place as a group to celebrate my sister's birthday. Food amazing, took me back home
V. Z.The food was 5☆, well seasoned, service was excellent and the environment was superb. I went different days and tried different dishes and everything was top notch! I would highly recommend this restaurant.
R. W.My daughter took me out for a treat and it surely was a beautiful place and the food was lovely..we would definitely recommend Bantu 😃👍🏾
T. B.Great food ,amazing staff very friendly and welcoming. Food did take long to come
J. S.First time ever trying African food and nothing can ever beat it! The taste and texture were wonderful, food took about 25 mins to come but it was worth it! Everything was full of flavour and the cocktails looked very attractive!! Definitely coming here for a night out again
A. B.EXEPPTIONEL I ENJOY THE FOOD AND CUSTOMER CAR, MERVELOUS

E. U.I must say I was really impressed with this restaurant. It was beautiful for pictures and the food was good as well. Great choices of African/Asian/Continental dishes.
E. W.Wow!! Amazing service and food, came here on a Friday evening and had a satisfying experience. The restaurant wasn’t too busy but it had a great vibe and the deco really makes the whole visit unforgettable. Would work on the portioning of chakalaka because it was so nice but not enough of it but over all the whole meal was delicious!
D. D.5 star for me and all my people, Mals loved the food and eating with his hands was a novelty so... yah #WOLVESINDAHOUSE #! I had the platter recommend by the waiter, who by the way absolutely brilliant, hope he got he tip, cos I always goo overboard for the real 1s. What I think was the comment of the night was when Mals remarked... "You know what's crazy..." What Mals? "There's only black people here." 🤔
n. 1.Its a nice place , i liked the sweet potato chips, from my experience we got the platter are way too small. They need to make the platter portions bigger.
C. J.Came here after it was re branded and I’ve got to say it’s amazing! The whole structure has changed and really improved. Definitely worth paying a visit. I’ve had a platter between two and it was delicious 🤤 have to say it was worth the money and will be coming back soon!
J. S.Fun african restaurant. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Menu offers plenty of choice. Exotic meat selection with choices such as crocodile and ostrich. Both are very tasty, would definitely visit again.

s. m.The African food gave me a nostalgic feeling, Bantu guys you have outdone yourselves as you have rooted our african kitchens and placed them in your restaurant exactly as they are ...The chefs really know what they are doing.
