Philadelphia African Restaurant Week (PHARW) is a celebration of the best food at Philadelphia Pan-African restaurants around the city.

“African Restaurant Week presents an exciting and unique opportunity to celebrate the best of African culture and is a great tool for socio-economic and cultural impact. This mission-driven festival aims to promote emerging African/African American/Caribbean voices in the global culinary movement, foster communal and cultural ties, support the economic development of locally owned food businesses, and increase access to healthy food choices in our neighborhoods and communities,” said Akin Akinsanya, founder of the African Restaurant Week.

Different Philadelphia eateries are promoting special offerings with prix fixe lunch and discounted dinner menus featuring delicacies at participating restaurants for the 2024 season.

This event is featured as part of Immigrant Heritage Month, an initiative started by the Office of Immigrant Affairs.
