Roots and Peppers was birthed from a long love history with West African cuisine and founded as a food business with a core focus to prepare and produce delicious and healthy meals which will cater to the specific culinary needs of our customers. One unique quality we possess is an underlying love for good food and a passion for preparing and delivering homemade delicacies under standard conditions. To us it’s not just food, it’s a whole culinary experience.
Now we’re excited to share that our very first restaurant is live! Presently located in the heart of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, we are set to give an unforgettable African experience, Naija Style!
Our food foundation is based on the boisterous cooking traditions of our grandmothers, who employed the use of freshly acquired food produce from the farms, freshly harvested vegetables, rich flavours, fragrant spices and seasoning from plants and herbs to ensure delicious homely dishes.
We solemnly promise to strive to offer the very best quality of food in terms of food produce used, method of preparation and final serving.
We aim to ensure that we produce healthy and delicious meals prepared under highly hygienic standards in accordance with food safety requirements.
This is to ensure that every bite of our meals reflects our passion and love for food which is an essential ingredient in the preparation process of our meals.
Our Mission is to provide a delicious, convenient, and healthy dining option for individuals and families, using fresh, high-quality ingredients in a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
Our Vision to be a celebrated cultural landmark, preserving and sharing the rich traditions of our heritage through authentic cuisine and immersive dining experiences.
We provide high-quality food and service which enables us to attract and retain customers.
We create a memorable dining experience. This goes beyond simply providing good food and service.
We create a welcoming atmosphere, offering unique dishes, and providing excellent customer service.
POV: We showed you the prep… now watch it all come to life🔥🔥🔥
Celebrating Dr. Zo at 55 and 10 years of Deer Ridge Medical Clinic, two beautiful milestones, one memorable celebration.
From setup to service, the Roots & Peppers team came ready. Two courses of bold Nigerian flavours, served fresh, steaming hot and plentiful because the experience matters just as much as the food.
Guests in, plates out, service flowing, teamwork on 💯… and that little vibe at the end? That’s the feeling when the work is done, everyone has been served, and you can finally exhale and enjoy the moment!
Good food. Great teamwork. Big milestones. Beautiful execution. This is what we do❤️🔥
Happy 55th, Dr. Zo, and cheers to a decade of impact! 🥂✨

When nobody can pick up the shift, the owner becomes the shift. From setup to service, payments and everything in between. A little reminder of where it all started and why we keep going because, some days you run the business, some days you ARE the business.
Back to the floor, back to the basics, and a beautiful reminder of the why behind it all.

🎨✨ What an experience!
Our Sip & Paint experience brought together an incredible mix of people, stories, creativity, and good vibes. From first-time painters to seasoned artists, everyone came ready to create, connect, laugh, and make beautiful memories.
This event was a beautiful collaboration between Roots & Peppers and Premium Box Entertainment & Events. While Roots & Peppers brought the food, hospitality, and atmosphere, the Premium Box team expertly curated the experience—from planning and hosting to décor, guest experience, and every thoughtful detail in between.
Moments like these remind us that food has a way of bringing people together, and when you add art, music, creativity, and community, something truly special happens.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening unforgettable. ❤️
As summer unfolds, we’re just getting started. Expect more exciting events, vibrant experiences, and of course, the bold, flavourful dishes you’ve come to love from Roots & Peppers. 🌶️🍽️
Stay tuned… there’s so much more to come.
