4roomed Ekasi Culture & Food

Absolutely loved this place. It's run by a family. Mom is the chef, dad is the manager, kids receive us and take the orders. It is quintessential. Sitting area is the back yard of the house and inside is a mini gallery. The sitting area is also set up with old school furniture pieces you'd find in the 4 roomed homes. The food is beautiful, hearty, tasty, and an experience. The chef is chatty and friendly. The family is just kind in general. It's a nice place to enjoy with close friends and family. Or to go to when you miss something homelike with extra KAPAAAW!

American visiting Cape Town and decided to visit 4Roomed. Was a little nervous at first but the food was amazing and the people even better! I learned a lot about the history of South Africa, the townships and how 4Roomed pays tribute to the vibrant history and culture of the local community. Abigail has an amazing attitude and spirit that makes everyone feel welcomed as soon as you walk in.

Delicious food with amazing service. Our waiter, Masixole paid perfect attention to us and didn't hesitate to tell us the whole back story of Four Roomed. The food was spiced just right. I specifically enjoyed their steamed bread and the lamb curry (that can be purchased separately). The salad is refreshing. I highly recommend their home-made sweet chilli sauce. It is slightly pricy if you are taking out your whole family, but totally worth it.

Simply put: the best place I ate to in South Africa. The food is local, subtle and simply so tasty! Great vibes and amazing social entrepreneur chef with her own amazing story (ask her!). The place is furnished and designed with a lot of taste. It is fancy and township-like at the same time. I simply loved it and highly recommend it.
