About African Lantern
Authentic Liberian Cuisine. Family Owned. Crafted with Heart.
African Lantern was founded with one simple mission: to share the bold, unforgettable flavors of Liberia with the world.
Our owner and head chef is proudly Liberian. Raised on traditional West African dishes passed down through generations, he turned family recipes into a growing business built on passion, heritage, and purpose. Every dish we create carries the taste of home: rich, comforting, and deeply rooted in culture.
Why “African Lantern”?
In Liberia, lanterns were more than light. They symbolized warmth, gathering, and hope. African Lantern represents our commitment to bringing light to your table through authentic Liberian food, meaningful connection, and exceptional service.
We don’t just cook meals.
