Top African restaurants in Cape Town

Djembe drumming, karaoke nights, fine dining and more

Last updated: Thursday, 9 April 2026

African food is a very broad (and diverse) label; so are African restaurants. You can go to a fine dining restaurant in Langa and join cooking classes, sing karaoke on Loop Street, and try djembe drumming at a restaurant that’s been around since 1995. There’s also a treehouse-style eatery and handmade African ice cream with flavours like hibiscus curd.

SPICY STEWS, SUGA & NIGERIAN FOOD

Onosbay on Kloof Street serves up rich, spicy dishes with Nigerian favourites. Think jollof rice, egusi soup, pepper soup and tender cuts of suya (spiced skewered meat), alongside sides like fried plantain and puff puff. The soft grey booths and low lighting make it an easy date night spot or get it delivered to your door by calling 074 918 0013 to place your order.
