About Afroko
Afroko is the UK’s dedicated online directory and discovery platform for Afro-Caribbean shops, restaurants, services, events, and culture.
We were created with one clear mission:
to make it easier for people across the UK to find and support authentic African and Caribbean businesses — anytime, anywhere.
Whether you’re looking for African groceries, Jamaican restaurants, Afro hair salons, seamstresses, tailors, parcel shops, DJs, fashion designers or cultural events… Afroko brings everything together in one place.
✨ Why Afroko Exists
The African and Caribbean community in the UK is rich, vibrant, and deeply rooted — but scattered. Many businesses rely on word of mouth, making them difficult to discover unless you already know where to look.
Afroko was created to solve this problem.
We realised that:
- People were travelling far just to find simple Afro-Caribbean essentials.
Many local shops and services were invisible online
Restaurants and food spots were not easily searchable
Cultural events needed a platform to reach more people
Small businesses lacked digital visibility
So Afroko was built to connect communities, empower local businesses, and help people find what they love with ease.
💛 Our Purpose
- Make Afro-Caribbean businesses easy to discover
- Support African and Caribbean entrepreneurs
- Strengthen local communities
- Promote cultural pride and connection
- Provide a trusted platform for people searching for authentic food, products, and services
