At the heart of Neighbourhood Lunch is comfort - generous, flavour-forward, and made to be shared.

For our vegetarian offering: fire-roasted aubergine served alongside charred green tartare paneer - warm, layered, and built for the kind of lunch you’ll want to linger over.

Served with our much-loved Kubaneh bread and butter, our Neighbourhood Lunch menu is available seven days a week for R300 per person.
