Best African food and catering in Stonecrest, Dekalb County & Metro Atlanta
It’s Maripe’s Kitchen was born from a love of culture, flavor, and community — founded by passionate cooks, West African from Liberia and American/Trinidadian couple, who wanted to bring the authentic taste of Africa and the Caribbean to Stonecrest, Georgia, and beyond. What started as family recipes shared around the dinner table has grown into a beloved catering and takeout service serving Stonecrest, Dekalb County, and surrounding Metro Atlanta areas.
Through every dish, we celebrate the vibrant heritage and comforting warmth of African and Caribbean cooking — where flavor, spice, and tradition come together. From the smoky aroma of suya grilled meat and the richness of curry chicken with roti to the sweetness of puff-puff and the bold taste of Nigerian jollof rice, savory Liberian Potato Greens every bite carries the heart of home.
While it’s not always possible to travel back to West Africa or the Caribbean, It’s Maripe’s Kitchen brings those flavors closer — offering a true taste of home that’s familiar, welcoming, and made with love. Whether you’re planning a family gathering, a wedding, or a corporate event, our goal is to share the warmth of our culture with every plate we serve.
