Watamu Foods – Your Trusted Distributor of Imported African Foods in the USA

At Watamu Foods, we are dedicated to bringing the authentic flavors of Africa to homes, restaurants, and retail stores across the United States. As a leading distributor of imported African foods, we specialize in sourcing, importing, and delivering high-quality products from East Africa, West Africa, and Central Africa—ensuring that customers nationwide can enjoy the true taste of home.

Our Story

Watamu Foods was founded with a simple mission: to make authentic African foods accessible, affordable, and available in our local community. As immigrants and members of the African diaspora, we understand the importance of food in preserving culture and identity. What began as a small effort to supply local communities has grown into a nationwide distribution network serving supermarkets, wholesalers, restaurants, and independent retailers.

Our name, Watamu, represents warmth, hospitality, and home—values that guide our commitment to quality, service, and reliability.
