Excellent meal and excellent service. If you're up for something a bit different then this is the place for you. Staff were lovely and explained what all the dishes were, making excellent recommendations.
We had spicy chicken gizzards and dried spicy beef to start (pictured) then I had a really nice spicy beef offal stew with smashed yams and Gordon had curry goat with Jollof (spicy rice).
Washed down with Staropramen. Lots of other drinks available.
Lovely Saturday night at Heat African Restaurant on Cowley Road Oxford.
The food was great. Delicious "ekwan " . Beautifully spicy jollof. Excellent service.
Great atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the music. We will definitely visit this Restaurant again.
Such unexpected delight to find this place in Oxford. Customer service is tops and the food is amazing. Nice décor and ambience. Enjoyed watching the Morocco v France game with enthusiastic crowd. Definitely a must when in town.
What a lovely experience. The customer service is wonderful. Really had a great time with my friends. The food was sumptuous and the drink was nice. They also have stores you can get most African food. With great scenery to take nice shots
We were thrilled when we learned that Cowley Road was getting a West African restaurant and our first visit to HEAT did not disappoint us. We had grilled fish w/ miondo and ndole w/ plantains and rice - it was so delicious that we ordered fufu and egusi soup for take away. The atmosphere inside is welcoming and it was great to eat Cameroonian and West African food in Oxford while listening to Mr Leo and contemporary Afrobeat. I can't wait to visit again, I want to try their corn chaff and the nyama choma... yes, we are planning our next visit already.
A very African experience, half the menu doesn't exist, and you pay as you order, but the place is friendly and the food was good - the curry goat was what you'd expect. It was early but I suspect it gets quite busy later on.
Great spot for some nice Afro vibes.
Been here a few times now and I've enjoyed it every time.
Really friendly and the music and atmosphere is a whole vibe. The food is absolutely delish. Would definitely recommend Heat
Just got back from a great meal at African Heat. Highly reccomend the fried fish and Jollof rice. So tasty! The plantain was delicious and the Beef scewer starter so good! The manager/owner was also really warm and friendly
Jus moved to Divinity rd and this place jus around the corner I’m a Afro beats fan so walked in to relax have a drink and listen to some tunes!!!
I love the vibe of this place the high seats over looking Cowley rd as you eat it’s quite unique!
The food was amazing and very traditional and authentic
Considering this food is not cheap to buy and some of these dishes take time to make I found the prices very reasonable!!
Staff are lovely it’s gotta really sense of family here which I loved about it!
Friday and Saturday night Afro beats serious vibes !! Now I’m hooked !!
I’m so glad found this place I’ve met people here and I see it’s how it serves the community!!!
Definitely becoming my local joint !!!
Went to this restaurant for the first time have to say the food was amazing staff were very attentive and as we had not eaten African food before the head chef came out and advised us what to eat, a very enjoyable experience will definitely be going again, highly recommend the goat curry
