African restaurants in Brixton, London

African cuisine is a versatile and rich food culture that reflects the continent's vast geographical diversity and historical influences. A common characteristic, however, is that the food tends to be quite simple to prepare, even for large gatherings, as various types of stews are commonly used. Usually, a meal centers around a main dish with a few accompaniments, but in North Africa, it is more common to serve many dishes at the table. The African kitchen is a haven for a wide range of plant and animal food products, and African food often contains a variety of different spices and flavourings.
