What Toadsfeet likes about Angola '76:
Walking around Shaftesbury and looking for somewhere to have lunch and we spotted the sign. Situated just off the High Street, this is a little gem. A bar and live music venue, with a quirky interior design that may not be everyone's cup of tea,...More View all feedback. What Lorna Nicholas doesn't like about Angola '76:
4 items ordered only 1 correct ! Vegan rice pot came as beef !!! Chips were a burger and Churros a tub of coleslaw , shockingly rubbish , I’ve messaged privately and no answer or apology !.

A mixed review for the Shaftesbury restaurant, highlighted by mix-ups in orders and kitchen hours. Decor described as budget and unfriendly atmosphere but redeemed by live music, great food, and friendly staff. A popular spot for locals, offering a relaxed and chilled out vibe with delicious food and cocktails. The smoking jalapeño Mexican soul food receives high praise for taste, affordability, and eco-friendly packaging. Overall, a gem in Shaftesbury that provides a unique dining experience worth visiting for a fun and lively hangout with good food and drinks.

The decor of this restaurant is very budget and lacking in style, more urban shabby than chic. The atmosphere is cold and unfriendly, and it's absurd that they...
