We opened our doors in the middle of a COVID lockdown — not the easiest time to start a restaurant, but exactly why we did it. Balham needed somewhere for neighbours to reconnect, so we built one: a warm, welcoming spot where locals could gather again over proper food.

​

Born from a love of traditional smoked meats and the rich, vibrant heritage of African Braai culture, our pitmasters blend slow-smoked American-style barbecue with authentic African grilling techniques — tender, smoky meats layered with deep, soulful flavour.

​

Our mission hasn't changed since day one: serve high-quality, great-tasting food with bold, unique flavour — every dish, every time. Great food. Great people. Great neighbourhood.
