Afri Restaurant at Casa Tropicana: Restaurant Review

Point & Kill is one of Afri’s specialities – it’s a popular Nigerian recipe that takes its name literally; choose one of the live catfishes in the restaurant’s aquarium and it’ll be caught and slaughtered in the kitchen to make a memorably smooth catfish pepper soup, a savoury broth that’s rich with some unique flavours of African herbs and spices. RM30 per kilogram of fish.

Afri’s Nigerian chef takes pride in plenty of other temptations too – try the tender boiled yam with a very tasty stew of eggplant, crayfish, fried fish and dried prawns (RM30). If you like offal, the hot and hearty pepper soup with beef liver, tripe and intestines should make you pretty happy (RM30); wash down with Orijin, a medicinal-tasting Nigerian liquor (RM30).

We’ve seen more than a few African restaurants come and go in the Klang Valley over the past decade, but Afri could be the best one so far. Head here if you’re willing to stretch past your comfort zone and explore new cuisines.
