Best African Eats In Brisbane

Brisbane has a small but growing collection of African cafes and restaurants where diners can experience the unique exotic flavors of Ethiopia, Sudan, Eritrea, Nigeria and South Africa.

Worth seeking out to enjoy a delicious abundant feast at a budget price, the fascinating ritual of a traditional coffee ceremony, these eateries are also ideal for those looking for a taste of something different.

Some can be found in Brisbane's unofficial 'Little Africa, Moorooka, while others have made their home in suburbs across town, including one in Ipswich. Here's where to find them:
