We cook the food we grew up on. Both sides of it.

The jollof and small chops everyone knows, and the northern dishes that are hard to find over here: masa, vegetable stew, the food of an Eid morning. Every dish 100 percent halal, every dish made by hand, by us.

The road the recipes travelled

From Abuja to Letchworth.

Every dish on this page made the same trip: learned in a family kitchen in Nigeria, carried over, and cooked here by hand until it tasted like home again.

Fresh food from the Aleerah kitchen
From our kitchen, with love

A home kitchen, opened up to yours.

Our table brings together the Nigerian food we grew up with: the jollof everyone knows, and the northern favourites that deserve a place beside it. Masa, vegetable stew, the food of an Eid morning.

We’re a family-run halal kitchen in Hertfordshire. From a small weekend order to a celebration with your favourite people, we cook by hand and put care into the details.

Food that feels like someone made it for you. Because someone did.
