The Green Place African Restaurant is more than just a place to eat — it’s a celebration of authentic African flavors, tradition, and the warmth of home. Founded in November 2016 by Mrs. Joy Green, a passionate and experienced African cook with over 27 years in the kitchen, our restaurant is dedicated to serving delicious, homemade meals rooted in rich cultural heritage.
Mrs. Joy Green’s love for cooking began as a little girl, watching her mother and grandmother prepare traditional meals with care, love, and skill. Inspired by the flavors of her childhood and the stories shared around the family kitchen, Joy developed a deep passion for cooking at a young age. Over the years, she honed her craft, mastering the art of African cuisine and transforming that early passion into a lifelong career.
Today, Joy brings those same family recipes and techniques to The Green Place, where every dish tells a story — of culture, comfort, and connection.
At The Green Place African Restaurant, we specialize in flavorful, home-cooked African dishes, including:
Every meal is made fresh, using authentic African spices and cooking methods passed down through generations.
