Top 3 African restaurants

Abysinia

Ethiopian cuisine offers gently aromatic berebere-spiced stews, ayeb cheese, tej honey-wine and injera flat breads. Go for the authentic atmosphere, and do not get up from the table without experiencing a traditional cardamom-infused coffee ceremony. Corner Queens and Langerman streets, Kensington, Johannesburg, Gauteng. Mobile: +27 (0)72 918 8824.
Zemara

Congolese cuisine at its finest. Expect palm-nut chicken, plantains and tilapia fish grilled to perfection. Zemara is favoured by African diplomats so dress to impress. The Sunday buffet is an excellent way to sample a range of west, central and east African specialities. 223 Schoeman Street, Arcadia, Pretoria, Gauteng. Mobile: +27 (0) 72 756 2057.
A Palhota

Afro-Lusitanian fusion food originating in Maputo and Luanda. Reputed to be where the Mozambican ambassador eats on his days off. Mainstream Portuguese menu, but ask for the Mozambican specialties like coconut-milk fish curry, and the feijoada Moçambicana. Palhota, 59 Troye St, Johannesburg CBD. Tel: +27 (0)11 336 1156.
