the Azara Kitchen Story

Azara Kitchen opened its doors in 2023, driven by a passion for bringing authentic and diverse flavors to the Harlem community. Our culinary journey began in Burkina Faso, where the rich traditions of West African cuisine were infused with Mediterranean influences discovered in Italy by Chef Ousmane Compaore. This unique fusion of deep-rooted spices and fresh ingredients creates a cutting-edge culinary style that defines Azara Kitchen.

Now located in the heart of Harlem, each dish at Azara Kitchen tells a cultural story, bringing the vibrant flavors of West Africa to your plate. Experience the perfect blend of heritage and innovation with every bite.
