Born from a love of
what home tastes like
Taste of Africa started with a simple question: why is there no place in Des Moines where you can sit down and taste the real flavors of the African continent? Not fusion, not interpretation — the honest, hearty, deeply flavorful dishes that families have been making for generations.
Our kitchen draws from recipes passed down through families across West, East, and Southern Africa. Every stew is slow-simmered. Every spice blend is ground fresh. We source the best local ingredients and pair them with imported spices that bring authenticity to every dish.
When you eat with us, you're not just having a meal — you're sharing in a tradition that stretches across a entire continent. And that's something worth savoring.
