Who are we?

The whole grocery store from back home, in one parcel.

NKOSI is the online Afro‑Caribbean grocery that brings together the pantry of Africa and the Caribbean: the right products, their real names, where they come from and the recipes that go with them.

Why NKOSI exists

So that the taste of home no longer depends on a long journey

Finding the right attiéké, the right chilli or the right flour often means a long trip, heavy bags and sometimes going home empty-handed. Online, many shops put everything on the same shelf without saying where the products come from or how to cook them.

At NKOSI, everything is in one place and delivered to your door, with what you need to know to cook: the name, origin and recipe of every product.

Pantry shelf: jars of hibiscus, chillies and grains, bags of flour, plantains and yams, kola nuts, peanuts, cinnamon, dried okra, a wax print fabric and a wooden mortar

What we want to offer you

  • The right product

    Over 350 carefully chosen products, each with its name, its origin and its use.

  • The recipe that goes with it

    Kits and recipes so you can cook with confidence, whether you have known the dish since childhood or are discovering it.

  • Simplicity

    Free delivery to a pickup point in mainland France from €39, and a team that answers you.

A word from the founder

“I created NKOSI so that the taste of home would no longer depend on a long journey or a trip. Every product we choose must have its name, its country and its recipe, and reach you like a basket brought to friends. Whether you are finding the food of your childhood or discovering it, here you are at home.”

Fondateur @NKOSI.
