About us

Voila Afrique is where the past meets the present — where food becomes a melting pot for cultures, communities, and generations. Meaning “here is Africa” in French, Voila Afrique celebrates the rich and diverse culinary traditions of Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the American South — tracing the powerful stories of migration, resilience, and cultural fusion shaped by history, including the rupture of slavery and the enduring strength of its survivors and descendants. Each plate we serve is more than a meal — it's a story of our ancestors, African unity, women producers and farmers, flavors passed down and reimagined. From West African jollof and Caribbean oxtails to Southern gumbo, Ethiopian njera, East African ugali, and Latin empanadas, our food honors deep-rooted traditions and reclaims a legacy of joy, spirit, and resistance.

Based inside the Giant Farmers Market in Hackensack, New Jersey, our see-through kitchen and external dine in area brings you fresh, healthy, and flavorful African soul food with a modern twist. We craft individualized and group meals tailored to your tastes — with plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, keto, halal, and gluten-free options. Whether you're looking for a quick bite, a unique dining experience or full-service catering, we’ve got you covered.
