Ali Hoseini and his wife have lived in Derry for seven years - he talks about the city’s growing multi-culturalism and why he wanted to start his own business
An Iranian migrant who fled the country's oppressive government to start a new life abroad has spoken of his love of Derry after opening a new Asian Food Store in the city centre.
He first arrived in Cardiff, before moving to London, and then in 2017 he relocated to Derry where he now lives with his wife Sima and their daughter Diana. Six months ago, Ali and Sima opened the ‘Asia Food Store International Ltd’ on Sackville Street. “We buy our stock in from London, Dublin, Belfast, all over. And we get people from the Arabic community, the Iranian community, Indian and Kurdish but also from Derry because they know what we sell is fresh, it is good quality and it is not expensive. We know that people don’t have a lot of money so we try to keep our prices as low as possible.”
“Before, all you had were chip shops and takeaways. Now you have all these new foods and you need that, you need new foods and new dishes. Iran has over 600 foods and tastes, Arabic is the same, Turkish is the same, hundreds and hundreds of foods.As to what the future holds Ali says for him, Sima and Diana, the city is their home now. Diana was born in Altnagelvin Hospital and is very much a Derry girl.“Of course I miss Iran, every day my mind is in Iran.
