?EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Find authentic home-cooked African dishes at Okuku: For those who struggle to choose between eating healthily and hearty — this Afro-inspired eatery is where you can find guilt-free eats that will satisfy your foodie heart.

The joint is famous for its flame-grilled chicken. The peri peri marinated chicken was the winner in our eyes, being a juicy grilled chicken marinated in a blend of African spices that weren’t overly familiar — different and flavorful in every bite.

Want something completely new? Try the chakalaka, a traditional South African vegetable relish. It’s a hearty and spicy mix of beans, tomatoes, and peppers that pairs wonderfully with any main dish you pick. You can’t go wrong. Want to indulge in a less healthy side dish? The peri mayo fries are a must-try. The golden crispy fries come with a drizzle of Okaku’s signature peri mayo sauce.

They’re available online: You can find them on Talabat in Maadi, Nasr City, and New Cairo.
