Foodie Heroes Episode 2 - Hamada Ahmed - Khartoum Centre African and Sudanese Restaurant
Hamada Ahmed - Khartoum Centre African and Sudanese Restaurant
Hamada Ahmed is a refugee from North Sudan.
He escaped a war-torn country to arrive in Australia. Initially, settling in Geelong he would commute to Footscray for work each day. He identified a gap in the African food offering in Footscray and decided to share his flavours with the people of Melbourne
We sat down with Ahmed to hear his story, his passion to be a commercial pilot and his enthusiasm for adapting traditional ingredients to flavours that his customers love.
“What I love most about my job is communication with others, meeting new people every day.
I marinate with my own spices. Every dish has different ingredients. I don’t do it the way that its made it in my country. I’m doing it my way. The way I like it. The way the customers love it”
We visit Ahmed at his restaurant on our African Food Trails. More information about these available here
