Zuka market has some of the freshest bitter balls, habaneros and smoked fish than any other African market I've visited yet! The man and his wife business a very nice people too which is always a plus. This is also one of the CLEANEST, African markets I've ever been too. I've gotta give credit were credit is due!

Great for getting African( especially Nigerian) food items that you can't find in any other grocery store. From yams, to fufu mix, snacks like chin chin, vegetables and meat. It is lovely to be able to get these items in the bay area

It wasn't really a good experience because I went there, picked some items from my homeland and when I was ready to pay the lady that was packaging some food items told me, I'm sorry the cashier is not yet around and maybe coming in about one hour or more. Was I to wait for that length of time? NO WAY.However, it is a good place to visit when you run out of the kind of food stuff from your homeland.

I found this women (although I met her husband while I was there) owned business to be quite hospitable. ?There were some things there that I was familiar with like the cancer preventative; neem leaves; which I bought to make toothpaste and deodorant. And, still yet many others that I wasn't familiar with like the huckleberry leaves; which I eagerly embraced and will use as recommended to make soup. ?

I don’t really know much about African food but I found this place randomly and bought a couple of snacks. They sell Kilishi, which is a kind of Nigerian beef jerky, and I loved it so much I came back and bought all the Kilishi they had in stock LOL. The spicyness is pretty intense but as you eat it you kind of get used to it and can’t stop eating. I wasn’t as big a fan of the kulikuli though.They also sell Nigerian Indo Mie here which I didn’t know was a thing, it doesn’t taste much different than other instant noodles.

Foods you can't find elsewhere. I got a bottle of Ribena current juice concentrate for my boss because he lived in England for some years where it's a common drink but it's hard to find in the US. The owners/staff are VERY helpful and gracious!Two neat finds here: A drink called "Malta" which is a sort of non-alcoholic, malt drink. It's sort of like Guinness Stout with less bitterness and not a beer. It's interesting and worth a try. Also, some banana chips called "Exotic Chips" I grew up in Hawaii and know too much about banana chips, and these are the best I've ever had. Not too sweet, thin, lightly salted, and only $1.50 a bag.I need to explore here more, but this is a really neat place!

We stumbled upon this place in the way back from our storage unit. It had nondescript exterior, but the words "African and Caribbean Food" looked interesting, and the door was open. So we decided to check it out. The place was very interesting! It's an African grocery store, with a big shelf-stable selection, herbs and spices, shrimp bouillon, fresh peanut butter, some produce such as bell peppers and roots, and a few freezers with meats, fish, and vegetables. They also have some unique non-alcoholic fermented beverages. A lot of the items are imported from Africa. All the employees we talked to were very nice and helpful. There is also a small ready-made food counter by the checkout. When we went, they had meat pies and a few soups/stews. They weren't labeled, but the lady was happy to describe the ingredients and make recommendations. She recommended the meat pies so we got 2 (a bargain at $2 each). They were really good, a dough shell with minced meat and herbs. I also got one of the stews, which was made with barracuda, stockfish, shrimp, fermented fish, and veggies and herbs. It had a very unique taste, kind of medicinal and fishy, though not salty. I enjoyed it but it's probably not for every palate. We also picked up some fufu mix (which she said goes with the soup) and dried crayfish. I'm glad that we have this grocery store in San Jose. We'll be back to try some more interesting soups and their great meat pies!
