By far the best African bar in Glasgow. They served the best cuisines from across Africa although a chunk of the meals served are from East Africa and southern Africa. They also have the best authentic African beers with real African taste such as Guinness and Star... My favourite meal was always Injera! Music is awesome and as I soccer fan, It will be the beat place to watch the major leagues on TV while you enjoy you drink and meal.

I agree with the concept of providing a variety of African dishes, but I believe you have to stick to the dishes you know how to cook, I am currently in Glasgow and fancied some Nigerian food, so decided to try the pepper soup, nah, it tastes like boiled meat and very bland, the other day I ordered okra soup again, there was hardly any orka in the soup and it was brown instead of green, they need to stick to their Kenyan dishes or get a proper Nigerian chef to cook the Nigerian food and where do they serve stew as a side dish with pepper soup, never seen that before either.
