Overview
Afrik'N'Fusion is a French restaurant chain specializing in West African cuisine, presented on its official website as "fast good African cuisine" and operating since 2011. The concept was imagined and led by Franco-Senegalese entrepreneur Abdelkader Jawneh together with his two founding associates Sidiba Doucouré and Audray Tuzolana. The first restaurant opened in 2010 in the Place des Fêtes neighborhood of Paris, and the brand has since positioned itself as a leading player in African dining in France. The menu draws mainly on West African culinary traditions — from Senegal to Mali and Côte d'Ivoire — with signature dishes such as yassa chicken, mafé, thiéb, and braised chicken. The chain emphasizes fresh products, generous portions, and a modern, warm decor inspired by African colors and textures. It offers dine-in service, takeaway, Click & Collect via a mobile app, and delivery. Afrik'N'Fusion began franchising in 2018, with openings in France, Morocco, and England. The official website states that more restaurants are planned across France by 2027. The brand also inspired the creation of an association, the Union des Métiers de Bouche Africains, initiated by Kader Jawneh to promote African cuisine in France.
