Grocery stores, food shops, supermarkets and hair suppliers across Edinburgh — with the address and opening hours you need before you travel.
Edinburgh's African shops are fewer and more scattered than Glasgow's, which makes knowing where they are more useful, not less. The city centre and the areas around the universities carry most of the grocery trade, with hair and beauty suppliers sitting closer to the communities they serve.
This page covers African grocery shops and supermarkets in Edinburgh. 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.
Teff and injera, berbere, shiro, lentils, and the coffee that goes with them. Some Edinburgh shops specialise here rather than in West African goods.
Maize meal, sadza and pap, biltong and droewors, and South African pantry staples. A smaller selection in most shops, but present.
Listings are being added. If you know a Edinburgh African shop that should be here, add it — it takes a minute and it is free.

They are scattered across the city rather than concentrated in one district. The city centre carries the largest concentration of grocery shops, with others serving their local neighbourhoods. Check the listing address before travelling across the city.
There are larger shops that 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.
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.
