Abinci Dambun Rice and Grilled Chicken

A Northern Nigerian food brand rooted in culture, community, and honest cooking, now making its way into the hearts (and bowls) of the UK.

"Abinci" means food in Hausa. That's exactly who we are: honest Northern Nigerian cooking, made the way it's made at home. We started in Dundee with one dish, Dambun Rice & Grilled Chicken, served at pop-ups. Now we keep it simple with fresh ingredients, made daily and no shortcuts.

Three Principles.
Every Bowl.

Authenticity

Every recipe is rooted in Hausa culinary tradition. We do not water down flavours or adapt them to what we think people expect African food to taste like. We serve it as it is.

Freshness

Everything is prepared on the day of each event. No pre-made sauces. No frozen shortcuts. We believe great food starts with great ingredients, and treats them with care at every stage.

Community

We are building something beyond a business. Every pop-up is an invitation: to try something unfamiliar, to start a conversation, to share a meal, and to understand a culture through its food.

Dambun Rice
& Grilled Chicken

Dambun Rice is a traditional Hausa dish from Northern Nigeria, made from finely milled rice steamed with a blend of aromatic spices, fresh peppers, and vegetables. The result is a light, fluffy, deeply fragrant base that carries its own character before a single spoonful of chicken is added.

Our chicken is slow-marinated in Hausa-spiced yaji seasoning and grilled to order. The combination is hearty, wholesome, and unlike anything else you will find on a UK high street.
