Makola #1 Market

The customer service here was amazing! Very upbeat! I didn’t get the lady name but she was very friendly and approachable and inviting! I tried other African markets but I’m going to stick with my lady there at Makola! I purchased black soap and hair oil which was an up sale but I’m ok with that. I love to support small businesses especially Black owned businesses.

Healthy food, real Shea butter, very nice staff and high quality spices

i love this place! they have great and friendly service not to mention its a family business. the owner Naaga is very helpful and sweet. i recommend the store to anyone from Africa looking for a taste of home ,or anyone wanting to explore other cultures and foods.

Update:
I've been going here for years, this place still rocks!

As a Liberian living in OKC, this is the only shop that has all my West African food. They are friendly and very service oriented.

Great customer service ! they have everything you need…. My favorite African store in Oklahoma City.

This store may be tiny but it's somewhat like the walmart of west Africa. She has everything you could possibly need, all the while with the friendliest demeanor and she knows her customers needs. I told her I live out of state and she didn't seem bothered, she just kept praying for my well being and treated me like a regular customer.

She has multiple items that I don't see in major African grocers in Atlanta and NYC. She sells the best Agege bread. I wish i could order it to my home in georgia. Everytime i stop in Oklahoma, I'll make a trip to this store.

This is the best place to shop . This is the first African market that has everything you are looking for . The reception is excellent , the shop is very clean , smells nice , and they are stocked up on items . Thank you for creating such a shopper friendly environment, your customer service skills is 100 .
I drive 2 hrs just to come shop here .

Excellent customer service! The owner was very pleasant, resourceful and sweet. They had exactly what I was looking for. :) I will return and make sure I send my Mom. :)

Lovely place Nice hats..
Yes makola is a very unknown Triditional African Kulture store you see mostly were people KNOW more about "culture", which Oklahoman's know and could care nothing about unfortunately are the reasons most of these small business's are in the wrong demographics and end costing the consumer 100% more because of incorrect marketing and location. In the Asian district's you dont say 'well these people are being racist' for posting and building asian commerce? It's what the community wants in these areas a community of Asian merchandise so business is good! The problem is so called American xenophobes don't understand that these words mean cultures tradition's food, Apparell, so if you see European, Black African, Asian, Greek, Germany, learn real cultures and get over yourselves and support these businesses instead of the new fancy snobbish grundge fad's , heck some pub/restaurants names are more obnoxious and desperately marketed than any place ive ever seen. First leave the country and come back and stop supporting these big Corporate chain stores and buy weekly at small mom and pop stores like Makola African Market.
This isn't 1789 any more Okie's learn to appreciate other's Ancient culture After All those African people aren't wearing costume's YOU Are?
