about us

When we started Sundry Foods, we wanted to create a solution to a problem – a gap in the market for quality Nigerian meals prepared and served to international standards. We had big dreams. Nevertheless, we started small with a bakery and a single restaurant in Port Harcourt.

It was not just about the food, it was about the people too.

We believe in friends serving friends. We aim to create a warm relationship between customers and our employees. Good food affects people’s moods and lives so we do our best to ensure that our meals are satisfyingly delicious.

We are Sundry Foods, we prepare familiar meals for your comfort and enjoyment.

who we are

We are a food services company in Nigeria and have been in business since 2004. What started as a simple need to make great-tasting, healthy food accessible to all who want it at a price they can afford, has today grown to close to a 100 branches of food service brands across the country and still growing. 

This consistent growth, a result of our continuous effort to be better always both towards our customers and staff, has earned us a right of place as a leader in Nigeria’s food industry.

Our mantra: Better Food, Better Service, Better People”.

what we do

We provide meals that people love and serve them through our chain of restaurants, canteens, bakeries and to your homes all over Nigeria. Over the years, we have continuously improved our processes, services and products. Whether it’s that hot, crispy crust pizza or the rich native soup, we draw the commendation of our customers who love our food.
