In Da Belly Grill

Authentic Southern African Street Food

Exciting Fusion Flavours from Southern Africa

MY STORY

From the heart of Southern Africa, straight to your plate!

When I arrived in the UK as a young student 40 years ago, the kitchen quickly became my sanctuary from an unfamiliar culture. My background in chemistry fuelled my growing passion for culinary experimentation. After long days in the lab, I would rush home to explore new taste combinations, turning my home into a haven for fellow foreign students seeking the comforts of home.

Over the years, I have witnessed the remarkable expansion of the British palate, embracing global flavours from Madhur Jaffrey’s Indian cuisine to Ken Hom’s Chinese dishes. Inspired by these culinary pioneers, I am excited to share with you the vibrant flavours of my homeland.

Come and find us on Saturday 7th December 2024 at the Christmas on the Front Event in Gosport. We will be there from 10:30am to 6pm. Click here for more information on the event.
