Tasty Nation is the brainchild of Kelly Lewis, who is bringing heritage to your home through hearty meals.
Bridging the gap between tradition and convenience … so you can savour South African dishes in mere minutes … with the recipes whispered stories from grandmothers and mothers.
While deep fried chicken, sushi and Chinese, burgers and pizza are all easy to come by when ordering in, what you don’t find while scrolling your app for your next take out are traditional meals like Mogodu (beef tripe) cooked the traditional way, slow-cooked Thlakwana (cow heels) and Nhloko (beef head meat).
All such a treat to be able to order in for your family without the fuss of spending hours preparing and cooking. If those dishes are too traditional for your tastebuds, they have plenty more South African faves … butter chicken, bobotie, beef brisket, wors roll, and peri peri chicken. An already popular dish from this quick service restaurant is the Gatsby – a baguette filled with chips, cheese, Russian slices, grilled beef patty, lettuce, tomato, picked red onions and sauce. Owner Kelly’s go-to meal is the beef stew with dombolo … a lovely hearty meal to tuck into come Winter. And for us, it was love at first bite when we tasted the pap bites with spicy mayo dipping.
If you are looking to order in for a cosy date night, we would recommend you start with some peri peri chicken livers to spice things up. For mains, a tasty combo of Shisa nyama beef short rib and chicken leg quarter served with pap and tomato relish and a salad or veg of your choice. And end off with Malva pudding and custard.
With so many options, you can have a feast on authentic flavours. Prices range from R25 to R80 for the lite bites, R70 to R240 for a main meal and R25 to R75 for dessert. Located at Chilli lane in Sunninghill where you can also grab yourself a frozen Tasty Nation meal in-store to heat and eat at home. And you‘ll find them on Mr D, too.
