Hi, I’m Christy, a South African living in Düsseldorf since 2018. Prior to leaving SA, I ran my own catering business. I also had my own restaurant, KOMBUIS in Melville, which specialised in traditional SA dishes.
Although we love living in Germany, we miss South African food terribly. So, we decided to start our own small business, offering homemade favourites like biltong, chilli bites, bobotie, koeksisters, Hertzoggies etc. I can also cater to special requests, e.g. for dinners or get-togethers.
Unlike other conventional retail stores or restaurants, we don’t have the space or resources to hold stock… at least, not yet! So, we make our food on order. Our turnaround is anything from 1-5 days depending on the item (e.g. biltong needs to hang for 5 days). Our customers can text, call, or email their order, and we give them a timeframe and arrange collection/delivery. At present we are catering to the Düsseldorf area only, to guarantee freshness and avoid additional shipping costs and risks.
