Our Story

A taste of home, served with pride

Situated at 33 Eluku Street, Itupate, Ikorodu, Taste of Africa was born from a simple belief: that the food we grew up with deserves a beautiful place to be enjoyed. Every pot of soup, every tray of jollof, and every cake that leaves our kitchen carries that intention.

Our kitchen blends time-honoured West African recipes with the precision of a modern bakery and dessert bar. We source fresh ingredients daily, cook in small batches, and plate every dish as though it were headed to a family celebration — because for us, it usually is.

Whether you are joining us for lunch, ordering a custom cake for a milestone, or booking our team for a corporate event, you will find the same warmth in the service as you do in the seasoning.

Guest Reviews

Loved by our community

Real words from the families, couples, and businesses who dine and celebrate with us.

The egusi and pounded yam tasted exactly like my mother's kitchen. We came for lunch and ended up ordering a cake for my daughter's birthday on the spot.

We booked Taste of Africa for our company's end-of-year party. The setup was elegant, the jollof was the talk of the office, and the service was flawless from start to finish.

The dessert bar is a hidden gem. The handcrafted chocolates and dessert cups were beautifully presented, and the lounge is the perfect place to unwind on a Friday evening.
