Kunle Adesua grew up on the land in Nigeria before studying in Europe and finally making a home in Australia. He is a West African cuisine expert, passionate about producing natural, healthy and delicious food. This makes Tribal Tastes a unique product, using the finest quality seasonal ingredients to bring you unmatched African flavours.
In 2002, Kunle pioneered the world’s first African Deli, located in Melbourne’s iconic Queen Victoria Market. Tribal Tastes was born out of the intrinsic belief that stories, culture and values are enshrined in cuisine. Kunle opened Tribal Tastes to introduce and share the rich diverse culinary culture of West Africa. He creates and prepares all products, like ready to heat and serve meals, of which produce are freshly sourced from the market according to seasons. His cuisine is deeply rooted in traditions rather than trends. The origin of current trends in cuisine such as vegan, pescatarian, keto and paleo live styles can be traced to West African cuisine.
Tribal Tastes has introduced West African cuisine into the Australian culinary landscape, which are now proudly stocked in hundreds of stores Australia wide.

Loved the great flavour of the Easy Meal - Rice Jollof!

We always stock up on Tribal Tastes Easy Meals when we can. They are yummy and healthy! The kids especially love the Jollof Rice and the Bean Banquet but I love them all.

We get Tribal Tastes Turkey breast every year for Xmas and have never been disappointed. It is moist and succulent and has just the right amount of spice. This is a must have for a Christmas celebration and you don’t even have to turn your oven on. It’s really a winner!

As a new mum the Tribal Tastes EasyMeal™ packs are AMAZING. Super healthy, delicious, super easy to prepare and the best part is NO Dirty dishes to clean after cooking. You simply pop the bag in a pot of boiling water and in 20 minutes you have your meal! Meals have long date and delivery is super quick and reliable. Thank you Tribal Tastes for making my life so much easier!!!

As a vegan, I've really enjoyed the rich and diverse offering of dishes here, which taste refreshingly different from many 'standard' vegan offerings elsewhere. The service, too, is delightfully personal and responsive. Of late I have been having my food delivered with great success. Highly recommended.

I love and cannot recommend highly enough Tribal Tastes EasyMeal™ in a pouch. I always order their Jollof Rice to have with a meat based meal and the combo of two is a delicious, generous portion, yummy and nutritious feed. Couldn't be easier to get a great healthy meal on the table. The chicken fillet dishes are my favourite - it's all yummy food. I order online and voila it arrives.

We attended Tribal Tastes stall at the Fed Square last weekend. The Akara is yummy, to name just one of few tasted. Frankly, their food is exquisite. We've started ordering Tribal Tastes products online ensuring that we get what we want on time.

Amazing food and service. So much to choose from!!! Wholesome food that tastes great. Me and my partner had to move from Melbourne so we've been getting our products promptly delivered to our door. Could not recommend enough if you're after food that is nourishing and packs amazing flavour.
