Where African Flavour Became Manchester Luxury.

Since 2012, Before anyone else.

The Roots Story

We did not follow a trend. We started one.

Roots opened in 2012 with a simple conviction: African cuisine deserves the same stage as any fine dining experience in Manchester. Five years before the rest of the city caught on, we were already serving it.

Today, Roots is a restaurant and lounge where bold West African flavours meet premium presentation. Every dish tells a story. Every cocktail is crafted to match the food. And every Friday night reminds Manchester why we started this.

What We Do

Three reasons people come back.

Dine

A menu built on heritage and refined by twelve years of mastering the craft. Signature dishes that travel from Lagos to London to your table.

Drink

Cocktails that match the food. Bold, layered, and made with the same attention we give every plate. Our bar is not an afterthought.

Weekends at Roots are not just about dining. They are a mood, an atmosphere, a reason to always come back

Manchester spoke.

The best African restaurant in Manchester. No question.
