Review by Marian O'Kon

Ekhaya is truly a gem nestled in the heart of the American Tobacco Campus! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere and unique decor make it perfect for dates or a night out with friends.

We started with the pastry rolled sausage, a delightful mix of flavors, and the off-menu bacon and fried chickpea salad was an unexpected treat!

The chicken kabobs were juicy and flavorful, paired beautifully with the tender Dovi cauliflower and that irresistible peanut sauce.

Jeremy, our server, was a delight - knowledgeable and attentive! I can’t recommend Ekhaya enough for an unforgettable dining experience. Can’t wait to return for brunch! 🍽️
