Our Story
Mimi left Lagos, but her grandmother’s worn cookbook came with her. Settling in a small corner of the UK, she was determined to bottle the vibrant spirit of Nigeria and share it. The mission was simple: no shortcuts, only premium ingredients.
She lit the burner, and soon the kitchen filled with the familiar, smoky aroma of Jollof Rice and rich, simmering Egusi stew. The scent cut through the grey drizzle outside, promising warmth.
When the doors opened, Mimi didn’t just serve food; she served nostalgia. A Nigerian student tasted the Amala and closed his eyes, instantly transported home. A local UK resident discovered the fiery kick of Suya and was captivated.
Mimi’s Kitchen quickly became more than a takeaway; it was a bridge, linking two continents through the universal language of rich, authentic flavor.

Testimonials
"This was my first time ordering authentic Nigerian, and Mimi's Kitchen made me a convert! The Smoky Jollof Rice was absolutely incredible, and the side of Plantain was beautifully caramelized. The portions are huge and the meat was so tender. It’s spicy, but in a delicious, warming way. Great quality and definitely better than my usual Saturday takeaway."
"As a Naija man in London, I'm always searching for that true 'home' flavor. Mimi's Efo Riro and Pounded Yam hit the spot perfectly. The soup was rich and seasoned right—not too much Maggi, just proper flavor. Delivered hot and fast, which is critical. It feels like my mum cooked it. Highly recommended for when you need a real taste of Lagos."
"Mimi's is my go-to for weekday lunch. Their Suya Beef is always spot on—tender, perfectly charred, and that spice rub is unmatched. I love that the packaging is neat and the delivery is reliable; I can trust them to bring quality Nigerian food without the stress. It’s premium everyday comfort food."
