Proud to Support Our Community: Ufondu Kitchen Sponsors the Royal Family Affair

At Ufondu Kitchen, food has always been about more than what lands on the plate. It is about people, family, and the community that gathers around the table. That belief is why we are so proud to be a community sponsor of the Royal Family Affair, a special evening created to honor the bond between parents and children right here in Albany. You can find us inside Colonie Center Mall by the Regal Cinema entrance, opposite Five Guys in Albany, NY, where we serve the flavors of Nigeria and the wider Pan-African table every day. But our roots reach beyond our doors, into the neighborhoods and families who have welcomed us so warmly since we opened.

The Royal Family Affair is a celebration of the relationships that shape a child's life. Set for Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM at The Boys & Girls Club on 21 Delaware Avenue in Albany, the evening carries a theme of Elegance — a night for kings and queens, princes and princesses to dress up and celebrate together. The event is built around a simple, powerful idea: strengthening families by creating positive, lasting memories for the children in our community. Families can look forward to dinner and dancing, pictures and memories, and an evening of fun, games, and giveaways. At just $25 per family — with children under 12 attending free and ages 12 to 14 at $5 — it is designed to welcome everyone.

Supporting an event like this is close to our heart. The name Ufondu means love, and we believe love shows up in action — in showing up for the families who make our city special. Sponsoring the Royal Family Affair lets us invest in the moments that help children feel valued, confident, and celebrated. Every meal we serve is rooted in that same spirit of togetherness. When we cook, we cook for family — yours and ours. Standing behind a community event that lifts up local families feels like a natural extension of everything we do at Ufondu Kitchen.

Whether we see you at the Royal Family Affair or across the counter at our place, we would love to share a meal with you. Ufondu Kitchen is open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM, and you can order for pickup, dine in with us, or have your favorites delivered through DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, or directly on our website. Come taste the food, feel the warmth, and be part of a community that celebrates family. Call us at 518.977.3014 — we would love to welcome you.
