ORIGIN STORY
The Spirit of The Afrobeat
Welcome to The Afrobeat, a sanctuary where the spirit of afrobeats finds its voice in the culinary arts—a bold homage to the vibrant tapestry of our culture. Here, we invite you to embark on a journey through the rich landscape of modern African cuisine, where each course—salad, soup, mains, and dessert—serves as a testament to the bounty of our land, lovingly sourced from the toil of local farmers. It is a celebration of heritage, a fusion of traditional dishes from Nigeria and the vast expanse of the African diaspora, rendered anew for the discerning palate.
As you cross the threshold into our realm, you are greeted by an ambience steeped in the essence of Africa. Our seating, a thoughtful arrangement of private booths and a serpentine sofa that winds through the heart of the room, invites both solitude and communion, a space where stories are shared and laughter resounds. The furniture, adorned in warm hues of red clay and terracotta, echo the earth from which we rise, while the textured walls of wood and mud speak to the artistry of our ancestors. Above, Afro-futuristic chandeliers cast their ethereal glow, illuminating the treasures of our heritage—memorabilia gifted by global luminaries of afrobeats music, each artefact a chapter in the ongoing narrative of our cultural odyssey. At one end of this sacred space, a sculptured mask of an African king looms large, a sentinel of our identity, a reminder of the legacies we carry. Opposite, an abstract mural known as The Afrobeat Throne comes alive, summoning the very essence of our culture.
At The Afrobeat center stands Aremo—the heir to the throne. Heir to Rhythm, Keeper of the Flame.
This mural does not simply decorate the space. It summons it. Not by blood alone, but by rhythm, memory, and rebellion. Crowned not just in bronze and beads, but in basslines and brass, this is the eni ti yó jogún ité—the one who inherits the groove, the fire, the soul of the Afrobeat.
This is Akobi, the first child of rhythm. A face carved from legacy. Eyes carrying Lagos, Harlem, Brixton, and every underground club that ever pulsed with Black joy. Behind, golden horns curve like royal insignia. They don’t just speak—they shout. They praise, they warn, they remember. Their music is a collage of ancestors, sweat, protest, and dance. Surrounding textures tell stories. Adire speaks from these robes. Aso-Okxe glimmers beneath a modern patina.
Geometric echoes recall palace walls, market murals, studio sound foam. The whole piece pulses like a record turning—rich, layered, alive. This is not just visual art. It is a shrine built on syncopation. A mural that moves without moving. A visual groove.
At The Afrobeat, we do not merely serve food. We serve heritage on heat. Every wall vibrates with history. Every horn calls you home.
Join us at The Afrobeat, where every dish is a celebration of resilience, every sip a libation to our collective spirit. Here, let the flavours of our carefully curated menu transport you to the core of Africa, as we honour the past and embrace the future of afrobeats culture—a culture that, like the music itself, is ever-evolving, ever-resilient, and eternally vibrant. Sit beneath the gaze of royalty, let the brass call your spirit, and experience a feast where every wall vibrates with history, and every horn calls you home.
