New restaurant opening in Nottingham city centre will replace former Thai eatery
The new restaurant chain already has 16 venues across the UK
A former Thai restaurant in Nottingham city centre is to be replaced by a new African-inspired eatery later this year.
Afrikana Kitchen is set to open in the former Rosa’s Thai premises in King Street when it opens over the coming months.
As reported by Propel, Afrikana Kitchen plans to open a further 11 new restaurants across the UK in 2025, adding to its current portfolio of 16 sites.
Rosa’s Thai closed in February last year, having opened in December 2022.
Afrikana Kitchen focuses primarily on African dishes, including grilled chicken and bunny chow, a South African street food dish.
Omair Ali, managing director of Afrikana’s parent company City Restaurant Group, said: “I am proud to announce that Afrikana Kitchen is expanding, and we will soon be serving our delicious food in Nottingham.
“Franchise partner Umer Chohan and team come with vast experience within the hospitality sector, so we’re super excited to kick start our journey together in Nottingham with a new look Afrikana Kitchen. 2025 has a lot on its radar and Nottingham will kick us off for a very busy year.”
