OUR Story

In 2014 Kente Kitchen Market was born bringing to you the flavors of West Africa.

In 2014 Kente Kitchen was born bringing West African flavors to Asheville North Carolinas' Goombay Festival. Ramona Young has a passion for the food that was taught to her by her late fiancés' Mother, sisters, aunties and his Liberian community.

Chef Ramona wanted to continue this love affair and passion for West African food and his memory by expanding her business to also include catering, community efforts to teach and feed kids healthy meals and now in 2022 Kente Kitchen has transformed into Kente Kitchen Market an E-Commerce grocery store of West African food products for you to recreate and create West African culinary master pieces at home and its previous services.
