Nigeria’s top food and confectionary brand, Tastia Restaurant and Bakery, has opened a branch in Enugu, the Coal City.
Reputed for its unique tasty meals, Tastia, a dominant name in Abuja and Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, threw the doors of its latest outlet in Upper Chime Avenue, New Haven, Enugu, open, on Sunday, June 1, 2025.
The octane ceremony attracted many of its loyal customers who came from across the country to witness the event.
In his remarks, the Member representing Ohaozara/Onicha/Ivo Federal Constituency of Ebonyi State in the National Assembly, Hon. Nkemkanma Kama, who cut the ribbon for the formal inauguration said the investment in Enugu was a welcome development.
According to the lawmakers, it showed how local businesses were growing and spreading across Nigeria.
He stated that Tastia Restaurant and Bakery has remained a strong example of how hard work and consistency could grow a brand that people now trust and enjoy.
“This restaurant is not just about selling food. It is about giving people a good experience, creating jobs, and building something that makes us all proud,” Kama said.
Also, Ebonyi State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Hon. Oguzor Offia-Nwali, said Tastia has shown itself to be a shining name in Nigeria’s eatery industry because the organisation puts the quality of its meals and services before money.
He stated that the owner, Chief Kester Agwu who is a well-known son of Ebonyi, has continued to make the state proud with the progress he is making in the food business.
The Commissioner stated that Ebonyi State Government under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Ogbonna Nwifuru, will always support business people from the state who are focused and determined to carve a niche for themselves.
Offia-Nwali: “Tastia is showing us what is possible when one stays focused. We are proud of Chief Kester and the name he is building for himself and Ebonyi.”
In his brief speech, Chairman/CEO of Tastia Restaurants and Bakery, Chief Kester Agwu, stated that they came to Enugu to serve the people, grow the brand in the South East, and become a major part of the city’s hospitality space. He stated that Tastia will remain committed to high-quality service.
Agwu pledged to continue to contribute to the economic growth of the country while also assuring that the brand will do its best to spread across the five South Eastern states, aside from extending his reach to Lagos.
“We are in Enugu to offer the best of what we do. This is a city with great people, and we are proud to be part of it.
“Our goal is to reach more places and touch more lives. Tastia is not just a name; it is something people trust and enjoy, and we want to keep it that way. For us, if it’s not tasty, it’s not Tastia,” he said.
