The African continent is colored with a variety of food dishes and ingredients that were passed by the word of mouth from generation to generation. However, most of these dishes crossed seas and borders from Africa to Northern Cyprus.

Located in the heart of Nicosia is Mama Afrika one of the fast growing African restaurants in Northern Cyprus serving delicious African dishes including Pounded Yam soup with beef, Amala soup with beef, Yam porridge, and Fried Yam and egg with stew among other exquisite African meals.

Mama Afrika Restaurant is known for its reliability home delivery services and have now over three years operating at the same venue since it started.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

                              Gülşah Anaekwe

Gülşah Anaekwe told Passionate Channel that she and her husband decided to start the food business in year 2013 because they wanted Africans living in the Northern Cyprus not to lose touch with food from their homeland.

“Me and my husband started Mama Afrika and after brainstorming we came up with the name Mama Afrika for our business since there was no other African Restaurants on this Island”,said Gülşah Anaekwe.

“We thought like it can be the mother of Africans, you know when your mother cook and feed you. Mama Africa will remind everyone of home,” added Gülşah

Like any other foreign business in Northern Cyprus Mama Afrika also faced their own portion of challenges to start the business. They had to go through the required registration process of their business.

“There were some serious documentation we had to go through, we had no mind to hide somewhere and operate illegally and so engaged legal professionals to help us with the necessary paper work”, said Gülşah

Moreover, Gülşah who is the master Chef, said that running a business and owning a business of course I support education but there are some things one have to go through.

Somethings you find them off the book while working on your business, education is very important  at least  it gives you the background of the business even before you start it, she elaborated.

“If you want to start a restaurant at least you should know how to cook”, Gülşah added

In three years to come Gülşah is looking forward to open more branches in different places like Girne and Magusa.
