Afrique Restaurant's founder, Olakunle Ayodeji - whose nickname is "Flash" - operated a restaurant in his earlier life, and for 20 years he nursed the idea of building a restaurant serving authentic African cuisine. Finding the right location held back his dreams, but he kept searching and found Afrique’s location, once a Mexican restaurant, now entirely renovated after complete reconstruction with all new decor. It was the perfect venue to launch his dreams. Now Flash offers his warm invitation to all in his native language: "E Kaabo (Welcome)!"

A family business, Afrique will be managed by Flash’s wife, Elizabeth Falase: Restaurant Manager/ Chief Cook and son, Tunde Falase: Floor Manager/ Serve Supervisor.

Visiting Cooks from different countries in Africa will be rotated by invitation, from time to time. Locally sourced ingredients like spinach, collard greens, okra, jute leaf (ewedu) will come from the San Joaquin Valley, and beef and goat meat come from a nearby ranch. Authentic African spices, are sourced from a bonded African food distributor in the Bay Area.
