Zena Savour
About
Zena Savour brings a piece of continental Africa to upper Manhattan. On Frederick Douglass Boulevard, the shop stocks staples and specialties that aren’t always easy to source west of the Bronx. Palm oil, dried mango slices, and clay cookware sit alongside imported spices and ready-to-bake puff-puff mix. The store sits between a bodega and a florist at 2738 Frederick Douglass Blvd New York, NY 10039. Shoppers drop in for palm nut soups, plantain chips, and smoked fish by the half-pound. Jarred suya spice and hibiscus leaves for hibiscus tea share shelf space with plaintain fufu flour and iru wrapped in banana leaves. Need to confirm an item or ask about stock? Call 646-208-4273.
