About Us

history

Our journey starts way back in 1975

Story

At Ogqokweni, our story is deeply rooted in the vibrant tapestry of South African culture and cuisine. We are passionate about sharing our homeland’s flavours, traditions, and warmth with our valued guests. Our journey began with a vision to create a welcoming space where people could come together to savour the diverse culinary delights that South Africa has to offer.

Inspired by the rich history and fusion of influences that shape South African cuisine, we set out to craft a menu that pays homage to traditional recipes while infusing them with modern twists. Each dish on our menu tells a story of flavours and textures reflecting the country’s multicultural heritage. Beyond the food, we strive to create an atmosphere that transports our guests to the heart of South Africa. 

Origins

As a South African cuisine restaurant, we also recognize our responsibility to give back to the community that has nourished us. We actively support local initiatives and organizations that promote sustainable farming, education, and social development. By dining with us, you become a part of this larger mission to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.

Whether you are a South African longing for a taste of home or an adventurous food lover seeking new culinary experiences, we invite you to join us on a culinary journey through South Africa. Let us take you on a voyage of flavours, where every bite tells a story and every dish is a celebration of our beautiful country and its remarkable heritage.

Bringing you the Taste of Africa

From breathtaking natural beauty to delicious traditional cuisine, Mother Africa has it all. For years, the essence of African cuisine has been spreading like wildfire over the globe, why not find a spot that gives you all that authentic African food and experience right here at home.

That is why we established Ogqokweni African cuisine, to offer our customers much more than just an African restaurant, offer you an opportunity to have an African home cooked meal at a place you can call home and a chance to socialise in a uniquely African way.

Ogqokweni is your trustworthy and reliable source of authentic African Food and a proud harbor of the African social experiment.
