Informal and welcoming atmosphere. We ate excellent traditional African cuisine and were recommended by the very kind owner. We will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.

I love this little place in Città Studi. The interiors are warm and welcoming. The music is refined and never invasive. The owner has an overwhelming energy that in her rough pride reminds me of the strength of the women of the island they come from.
But the real distinguishing feature is the quality of the cuisine. The fried bananas and bean fritters are excellent: they are two appetizers that I can never give up. The single dishes are also exquisite; for example, I love the fragrant rice with shrimp, curry sauce and vegetarian side dish. And for those who love strong flavors, I recommend trying a glass of zingerello: it is a tasty and very thirst-quenching drink.
If you like ethnic cuisine, this is a place you must try.

The hospitality of the owners is unique
Very helpful and with the right timing
The food was a surprise for me who does not eat spicy food, let alone hot
Very tender meat and a wide choice of vegetarian dishes
Top South African red wine!
The only flaw if you use the car is difficult parking

Excellent service! The owner is very nice and shows great attention towards customers. The food was truly exquisite: we ordered four main dishes and two starters, all delicious, but the starters in particular were phenomenal. A truly recommended place in Milan to enjoy excellent African food. After the welcome we received, I will return with great pleasure!

The Balafon strikes.
It is striking for the typical cuisine of various African states with flavors I have never experienced.
It is striking for the care of the service of a kind and friendly lady, who transmits passion for what she does with every interaction.
It is striking for the selection of particular and refined beers that pair very well with the culinary offerings.
It is striking for the music that accompanies the service, experimental and captivating, just like the food.
In short, if you are looking for a place to experiment with food and ears, go to Balafon.

Awa è simpaticissima ed accogliente! Offre cibo originale, buono e preparato con una passione che traspare già solo dai profumi, forti e speziati ma non mai invadenti.
La sua cucina è un'esperienza: fatevi guidare dai suoi consigli e non resterete delusi! È una cucina "diversa" ma piena di gusto e preparata con amore.
