TheOrator.Press Food And Drink Page. New West Norwood African Fusion Takeaway ‘Mama Fabio’ Is Cote D’Ivoire Family-Flair- Fabulous! May 2026


Cote d’Ivorian Head Chef ‘Fabienne’ Is Mama Fabio, The Charming, Charismatic, Caring Matriach of An African Family of Four.

Papa’ Fabio Is Her Husband, Who Works As A Dedicated Chef’s Assistant. A Sort of ‘Sous Chef’ If You Will. He’s Very Humble. And Very Knowledgeable About Ivory Coast History, Their African Neighbours And The Country’s Colonial Past. Including French Influences of Course. The African-European Fusion Menu Is Reflective of That And Other European-African Influences Too.

Ivory Coast Is The Motherland of Former Chelsea Footballer Didier Drogba And Proud Winner of The African Cup of Nations 2023 (Played In 2024) @didierdrogba The National Team @caf_online ‘The Elephants’ Would Surely Love This Food. It’s The Food of Champions.

Suya Is Very Popular At Present And Is Available On The Mama Fabio Menu. Beef, Chicken And Lamb.

(Yes, Lamb!)

The Menu Has Clearly Been Carefully Thought Out To Include An Appealing Variety of Dishes Including Meat, Vegetarian And Vegan Options.

There’s Also Even Fresh Bao Drinks (From The Bao Tree). Fresh Ginger And Carrot Too. It’s Nice To Have Healthy Options Alongside Popular Can Drinks.

Service Is Friendly, Which Is A Welcome Change To The Comical Cliche of Some Caribbean Takeaways, Which Still Persists Today (Even When The Food In Comparison To Service Is Great. Here We Won’t Mention Any Names).

Mama Fabio, Papa Fabio, And Their Two Teenagers Are On Service Duty. It’s Good To See This African Run Takeaway Bringing African-Fusion To The High Street. To Be Precise;

‘108A Norwood High Street’ [SE27 9NH].
