Divine African and Caribbean is a restaurant at 325 Soho Road in Handsworth, Birmingham. The casual dining room serves West African food alongside Caribbean influences, with seating for guests who want to enjoy a full meal as well as options for takeaway and delivery.
The menu draws strongly on Nigerian cooking. Beef suya offers grilled meat with aromatic spice, while assorted meat can be paired with soups and traditional starches to build a substantial plate with varied textures and flavours.
Yam appears boiled with fish and in asoro, a comforting yam porridge. Bitterleaf soup, egusi and beans such as ewa aganyin add vegetable, seed and pulse based depth, giving diners several routes into the food beyond grilled meat.
The broad format suits breakfast, lunch or an evening meal, whether guests already know the dishes or are exploring West African cooking for the first time. Recipes can contain fish, shellfish, peanuts and other common allergens, so diners with dietary needs should ask staff about current ingredients and accompaniments before ordering.
