African community awards. AFRONEWS AWARDS 2023. African Dishes has been nominated for Best African Restaurant in Germany at the AFRONEWS Awards 2023.
Who is Helen Nintemann, the founder of African Dishes?
Helen Nintemann was born in Kenya but moved to Germany permanently in 1999 after meeting her husband. She founded her own company called African Dishes in Osnabrück in 2012. They offer African dishes from Rwanda, Uganda, Congo, Burundi, Tanzania and Kenya.
African Dishes aims to promote German-African understanding through sharing a common African meal. Everything prepared at African Dishes is authentic and only fresh, healthy ingredients end up on the plate or the traditional bowl made of pumpkin.
On her website, Helen explains the idea behind the food served at African Dishes: “My aim and concept is to offer dishes made from untreated ingredients and organic products that are as natural as possible because the more natural, the tastier – and healthier! Over time, I have built up a whole network of responsible and environmentally conscious suppliers from the area – from the showcase slaughterhouse to the organic vegetable gardener. And in the summer season there are fresh African vegetables from our own garden! All of this corresponds to the quality standards that I set for myself, my employees and African Dishes.
She adds: “African Dishes’ unique menu is designed to reflect cultures, traditions, celebrations and lifestyles of the vital character of African cuisine. The food of the African continent is diverse and varies by region. The scents, flavours and the extravagant and elaborate way of preparing the food are exciting and unique. Fine ingredients, different cooking methods and a truly African buffet decoration (and African music if requested) ensure that my customers can experience the delights of African cuisine.”
Over the years, she has improved her services. She now offers catering with delivery and live cooking in the food truck.
The African Dishes team can also be found at various events in different German cities. Apart from running the African Dishes, Hellen Nintemann is also very vocal when it comes to issues affecting migrants. She is a member of the Migration Advisory Board of the City of Osnabrück.
She also ran a cooking group at a school in Melle-Buer for several years and, in cooperation with this school, initiated a virtual student exchange.
