5 months agoIf I had one meal left on earth, it would be African taste. The spinach and ricotta genfo African fufu and Katenya are incredible. Service is always friendly and lovely. An absolute gem of the west! 10/5!

5 months agoThe cauliflower was so salty I couldn’t eat it but then my lamb lacked much flavour. The injera was good though. Overall it wasn’t terrible but wouldn’t order food here again I’m disappointed because I had high expectations and it wasn’t cheap.

6 months agoWe absolutely loved this restaurant/cafe in Seddon!!!!!! from start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. The moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with such warmth and hospitality that it immediately set the tone for what turned out to be a truly memorable evening. The space had a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, filled with music, laughter, and the incredible aroma of spices that made our mouths water before we’d even sat down. The food was honestly phenomenal. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely bursting with authentic African flavours. The spices were perfectly balanced — bold but not overpowering — and every bite told a story of tradition and culture. From the rich, savoury stews to the freshly made breads and sides, everything tasted like it had been cooked with love. What really elevated the experience was the staff. They were attentive without being intrusive, happy to share recommendations, and clearly proud of the food they were serving. It made us feel like more than just diners; we felt like part of the community. This restaurant is an absolute gem — a place that celebrates culture, flavour, and connection. We’ll definitely be back and recommending it to everyone we know. 🌍🍲✨

7 months agoAfrican Taste Cafe is seriously amazing. I had the crispy fish and lamb fufu and both were so good. The fish was perfectly crispy and paired with a creamy garlic sauce that was full of flavour. The lamb fufu was rich, creamy, and comforting – honestly delicious. For entrees we tried the beef samosas and they were incredible. The pastry was soft, crispy, and just melted in your mouth. We also got the cauliflower which was really tasty, especially with the sauce it came with. The service was excellent, super friendly and welcoming, and the spot itself is really cute. Overall, amazing food and great vibes. This place definitely deserves more recognition!

10 months agoTried lamb fufu(gnocchi) and crispy fish. Food was amazing, especially the gnocchi. Never had a food with that kind of texture ever before and I love it. Recommend to anyone to have a go at this place.

Whether you are familiar with African cuisine or trying it for the first time, African Taste Cafe is a good-visit. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will definitely be returning soon

6 years agoThis restaurant is hands down one of the best in Melbourne! The food is so reasonably priced, the serving sizes leave you stuffed and nothing compares to the wonderful people who run it. The African gnocchi is out of this world, as are all of their dishes. Do yourself a favor and eat here - your taste buds and tummy will thank you for it!
