Grocery stores, food shops, supermarkets and hair suppliers across Glasgow — with the address and opening hours you need before you travel.
Glasgow's African shops are spread across the city rather than clustered in one place. The east end and the city centre carry most of the grocery trade, while hair and beauty suppliers tend to sit closer to the communities they serve. If you are searching for an African food shop in Glasgow, the practical questions are always the same: is it open, does it stock what I need, and how do I get there.
This page covers African grocery shops and supermarkets in Glasgow. Hair and beauty suppliers are listed separately because they keep different hours and stock by brand.
Yam, plantain, cassava and cassava dough, garri, egusi, ogbono, stockfish, dried fish, palm oil, crayfish, and the spice blends that go with them. Larger shops carry fresh goat meat and frozen fish.
Teff and injera, berbere, shiro, lentils, and the coffee that goes with them. Some Glasgow shops specialise here rather than in West African goods — worth checking before a long journey.
Maize meal, sadza and pap, biltong and droewors, and South African pantry staples. A smaller selection in most shops, but present.
Listings are added continuously. If a Glasgow African shop, barber or salon is missing, add it — it is free and takes a minute.

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.
