Kotokoraba African Market in Spring is one of four African restaurants and grocery stores along Sawdust and Rayford Roads, who serve the growing African population in southern Montgomery County and North Houston.Packed into a mile-long strip along Sawdust and Rayford Roads, four African restaurants and grocery stores now serve communities from across the continent.
The new business joins nearby South African store Angus Biltong and West African businesses Olatee African Mart and Olatee African Cafe. Before Olatee African Mart opened in 2020, Olatee African Cafe team lead Voke Origbo spent each Sunday heading to southwest Houston with his brother to stock up on Nigerian goods.
The African community is tight-knit — Odae knows Ola from playing soccer in the past, and Origbo went from an Olatee customer to a top employee in just a few years. Origbo said the new cafe looks to both strengthen bonds and create new ones. South African markets are even rarer than other African markets, with the closest in Dallas. So when they moved to The Woodlands 17 years ago, Maureen Marais said friends quickly began knocking on their door again.
Nestled next to Asian grocery stores, Greek restaurants and sushi joints at the Woodwinds Strip Center, both Origbo and Maureen"We have customers come in because they go eat at Olive Oil," Maureen Marais
