From the small village of Brikama in The Gambia, Barika is a Mandingo warrior and a Chief. His brother is a pirate and his mama is one of 3 wives. He speaks 4 West African tribal languages and has kept his culture alive in New Zealand through food and music and a love of story-telling. He is now bringing that experience to all of Wellington.

Food is valuable in Afrika so we don't waste it. Our menu changes depending on what is available in our cupboard or at the markets. We use halal meats and seasonal ingredients sourced locally.
