About LIBA'S Authentic African Cuisine

Tucked inside Thornlie Square, this family-run kitchen dishes out hearty, Halal-certified West African staples with unmatched warmth. Regulars lean on the fall-apart tender lamb paired with light soup and fufu, or heapings of smoky jollof rice served beside fried chicken and golden puff puffs. Generous portions routinely yield second meals at home, best finished with a dab of house-made shito chili sauce.

  • Halal-Certified Classics: Certified Halal West African recipes, featuring slow-simmered lamb and chicken platters.
  • Authentic Swallows & Soups: Staples like fufu, pounded yam, egusi, and light soups served in massive, shareable portions.
  • Signature Shito & Sides: Jars of fiery, traditional Ghanaian shito pepper sauce available alongside jollof rice and fried plantains.

  • Crowd-Pleasing Group Platters

    Generous party portions and crowd-pleasing West African menu selections make sharing meals seamless for groups and celebrations.

    Food was so authentic and flavourful, definitely worth the price as two dishes were good enough for 4 people even though it was just 2 of us.

  • Fufu with lamb

    The lamb and fufu dish was incredible, the meat was so tender it just melted and fell apart, and the fufu was perfectly soft.
