If jerk chicken, jumbo curry and other authentic African flavours drive you wild, you will be delighted to discover Nativ, tucked along Old Christchurch Road close to the centre of town. This restaurant cooks up west African and Caribbean dishes to eat in or take away plus a section of other continental dishes with an African twist.

The venue is styled in traditional décor, a cosy nook draped in colourful fabrics and decorated with dramatic wildlife. Nativ is a family-run business and the first of its kind not just in Bournemouth but the whole of Dorset.
