"Ooo I'd love a Chinese!" or "I am craving an Indian tonight" is something you are likely to hear at least once a week from your friends, co-workers and family. One Grangetown restaurant is making people crave African food just as much. Its mission is to show how good 'overlooked' African food can be.
Found on Penarth Road in Grangetown Le Mandela has been serving amazing and authentic African cuisine for five years. Le Mandela is a family-run restaurant which began when parents Marie Djitche and Antoine Keuni set up the business.
Now their three sons, Ulrich, Benoit and Steve Keuni have taken over the business, with their mum still helping out. Speaking about how the business started, Ulrich said: “My mum was naturally good at cooking…people in Cardiff knew her. Whenever there was an African party or wedding people always asked my mum to do the cooking.”
