A couple who had to travel to London to get authentic African food spotted a gap in the market in Norwich and now have their own stall.
Mufu and Tola Durowoju were both born in Nigeria and moved to Norwich from London three years ago, but although they loved living in Norfolk they found it hard to find shops selling food from their childhood.
