Meet the heart behind the kitchen, Mrs. Mercillina OlaBisi Olorunfunmi. A proud Nigerian woman with a big heart and even bigger flavor. Many years ago, she immigrated to the U.S. to start her family, bringing along her rich culture, love for food, and the dream of building something meaningful.
Now a successful restaurant owner rooted in Fresno, California, she has made it her mission to create a space where culture meets community, one plate at a time. Alongside building her business, she has raised four strong boys and continues to lead with the same warmth, strength, and spirit that define her cooking. She’s the kind of person who makes an impact everywhere she goes — through her food, her smile, and her unstoppable spirit. Whether she’s serving up a bowl of jollof rice or sharing stories over the counter, she brings people together in the most delicious way.
Her restaurant isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a taste of home, a celebration of culture, and a warm welcome to everyone who walks through the door.
