I’m the founder of Ofada Manchester — this is more than just a business, it’s my story.
When I moved to the UK, I deeply missed the taste of home. I couldn’t find authentic Ofada sauce the way we enjoy it back in Nigeria: rich, smoky and deeply flavoured.
One day, I cooked it for my sister-in-law’s baby’s first birthday, and everything changed.
I wasn’t prepared for what happened next. Everyone who tasted it lit up. Some asked for more, others quietly wiped their plates clean.
They all said the same thing: “This tastes like home.”
That moment sparked something in me. If one meal could take people back home, even just for a moment, why not share that with others?
So I decided to share that feeling with others, and that’s how Ofada Manchester was born.
Today, I’m building something beautiful from that craving: delivering real Nigerian meals to those who miss them the most.
So yes, I’m the Ofada Girl, serving you a taste of home, delivered freshly, right here in Manchester.
