Grocery stores, food shops, supermarkets and hair suppliers across Birmingham — with the address and opening hours you need before you travel.
Birmingham's African shops cluster around Handsworth, Sparkbrook, Small Heath and the city centre. It is the second-largest market in the UK for this trade, and the shops are close enough together that a single trip covers several.
This page covers African grocery shops, food shops, supermarkets and hair suppliers across Birmingham.
Yam, plantain, garri, egusi, ogbono, stockfish, palm oil and the spice blends that go with them.
Several Birmingham shops carry fresh goat meat, frozen fish and cassava dough — worth checking before a long trip.
Braiding hair, extensions, relaxers and black soap, stocked by brand.
Listings are being added. If you know a Birmingham African shop that should be here, add it — it takes a minute and it is free.
They are spread across the city rather than concentrated in one district. The city centre and the east end carry the largest concentration of grocery shops, with others serving their local neighbourhoods. Check the listing address before travelling across the city.
Yes — several of the larger shops operate as supermarkets rather than corner shops, with fresh meat, frozen fish and a wider household range. They are listed here alongside the smaller grocery shops.
Hair and beauty suppliers are listed separately from the grocery shops, because they stock by brand and often keep later hours. Look for the hair shop listings rather than the grocery ones.
Some do, most do not. Where a shop has published a delivery option it is noted on the listing. If it is not noted, ring before assuming — it is the fastest way to find out.
