Our Story

Hi! I’m Anita- or better known in this house as, Mom.

In 2001, I started making salads from my kitchen at home, with the help of these women standing next to me- Naomi & Gloria- who at the time were young girls aged 17 and 18.

We started out as a small team of three, with a few ingredients, little space, and a lot of excitement. We set out to make healthy, delicious and freshly prepared salads easily accessible – which was uncommon in Accra 2001.

We had only 6 salads on our menu, all of which are still on our menu today (shout out our Mediterranean Salad, Hawaiian Salad, Creamy Pasta Salad, Nicoise, Potato Salad, and Best Ever Salad).

For two years, we supplied to markets, supermarkets, schools, hotels, embassies, shops, and companies from our home kitchen.

In 2003, we moved to our first, and still-standing home in Osu. We branched out to Labone, and Oxford Street in Osu for many years, but there’s something about this home that has made it our (and evidently your) favorite.

Our menu was strictly salads for years (hence the commonly known name, Sunshine Salad Bar) until you started asking us for larger meals and on a larger scale. This was the birth of our catering service.

Fast forward to 2024, Sunshine is a family of 50 women and 25 men, with Naomi and Gloria as our team leads. We have built a large community from our small space in Osu. Our team continues to grow in number and in expertise, allowing us to adapt and expand our range of services.

Together, we make up an innovative restaurant and catering service. We are deeply passionate about ingredients, health, wellness and bringing joy to our community through our food and service.

How do we do it? Our team and our customers are our champions- and have been all along. Building this Sunshine and family has been the greatest achievement for me personally and professionally, investing time and effort in raising each individual to their highest potential.

Thank you Rays of Sunshine!!
