Our Story

Bringing the Flavors of West Africa to Portland

After Five by Kora was created with one mission: to share the rich flavors and warm hospitality of West African street food with our community.

Inspired by the vibrant food culture of Mali, we prepare every meal with fresh ingredients, authentic recipes, and a passion for bringing people together. Whether you’re enjoying our famous Pastels, Kora Buru Steak Sandwich, Bamako Dibi, or Alloco, every bite reflects our heritage and love for great food.

We proudly offer pickup and DoorDash delivery, making it easy to enjoy your favorite West African dishes wherever you are.

Thank you for supporting a local, Black-owned business. We look forward to serving you!
