Following the celebration of its 25th anniversary last year, Tasty African Food is entering a new phase of growth with the opening of its first fully digital takeaway in Maidstone.
The new Maidstone location marks a first for the brand, introducing a fully digital ordering system where customers can order via in-store kiosks or through the Tasty African Food app, with order numbers displayed on screens for seamless collection. The new format allows staff to focus entirely on food preparation and service, ensuring faster turnaround times, while maintaining the quality and authenticity that the brand has built its reputation on over the past two decades.
Speaking about the opening, Abolaji Modile, head of Tasty African restaurant business, said: “We are excited to announce the opening of Tasty African Food in Maidstone, marking a bold new chapter for our brand. For over 25 years, we have proudly shared the rich and authentic flavours of West African cuisine across the UK, bringing a sense of home to every community we serve.
This new location features our first fully digital takeaway experience, allowing customers to order easily through our app or in-store kiosks. These innovations are designed for speed, convenience, and accessibility for everyone. Our goal is to take African cuisine beyond its traditional boundaries and invite a wider audience to experience its vibrant flavours, warmth, and culture.”
For Tasty African Food, Maidstone marks the start of the next 25 years, where tradition meets innovation, and more people can discover the true taste of Africa.
The opening follows the successful launch of the brand’s mobile app last year, part of Tasty African Food’s wider investment in technology to improve customer experience and accessibility.
Simi Olaleye, business development manager, added: “We’re always looking for new ways to serve our customers better, and with our new app, we’re putting control back in the hands of our customers, offering lower prices, quicker service and a more rewarding experience.”
The Maidstone opening represents the start of the brand’s next chapter, where tradition meets innovation and new audiences are introduced to the depth and diversity of West African cuisine.
To celebrate the launch, customers visiting on opening day can enjoy free small chops, prizes and giveaways, including a spin-the-wheel competition and in-store celebrations.
