CIWARA

Flavors of Africa, Stories of Connection

Welcome to Ciwara!
African restaurant with live music in Palermo

Where cultures meet, flavors tell stories, and music builds bonds.

A PLACE OF CONNECTION AND INTEGRATION

Ciwara is more than a restaurant: it’s a place of exchange, discovery, and integration. Here, African cuisine meets Sicilian tradition, music becomes a universal language, and work becomes a chance to build community and a better future.

"Ciwara is not just a restaurant: it’s a vision of a fairer world, where respect and solidarity guide every choice."

Jam Sessions and Live Music

More than a restaurant—Ciwara is a stage full of energy. Every week, the rhythms of African percussion bring the space to life, turning it into a celebration of music and community. Our jam sessions and live concerts offer a sensory journey that connects cultures.

Food, Community, and Change

Ciwara is also a social project that uses work and integration as tools for growth and dignity. Every team member has a story of renewal and discovery, in a space where respect and solidarity guide every action. Supporting this mission is the Africa Djengu association—‘djengu’ itself meaning redemption.
