About Jadiah International

A family-run African and Caribbean grocery store in Thornton Heath, London.

Our Story

Jadiah International began with a simple frustration: families in South London were travelling for hours to find the matooke, groundnut paste and smoked fish they grew up with. We opened our doors on Thornton Road to put those ingredients within walking distance — and to price them so that cooking the food you love never feels like a luxury.

Jadiah International supplies authentic Ugandan, African and Caribbean groceries including fresh produce, frozen foods, spices, beverages, meats, snacks and household essentials.

Our Mission

To provide high-quality products, affordable prices and exceptional customer service to our local community across London and the surrounding areas.

Our Vision

To become the most trusted destination for Ugandan, African and Caribbean food in the United Kingdom — online and in store.
