About Us

Background

At Gourmet Gimba, we’re all about crafting epic dining experiences that won’t make you feel like you’re at a funeral!
Born from the need to enjoy fancy food without the fuss of white tablecloths or dim lighting so low you’d think loadshedding hit again. Seriously, who needs to squint at their plate?
Our dishes are always flavorful, fresh, and eclectic—think of your ouma’s cooking, but with a dash of international flair and no overcooked veggies in sight!
Inspired by the diverse flavours of the world and deeply rooted in the heart of Mzansi, we blend global influences with seasonal produce sourced from local farmers and small businesses. Because why not support our own while creating magic in the kitchen?
Whether you’re hosting a corporate shindig, a private party or a celebration, our team delivers exceptional service and menus that cater to your unique tastes. From intimate gatherings to grand bashes, we’re here to make sure your event is the talk of the town.

What Makes Us Different…

  • Culinary Versatility
    • Our team is versatile, just like a plastic 2 litre ice cream tub in a South African home. Unlike those times you grabbed an old tub from the freezer only to find frozen soup inside instead of ice cream, you will never be disappointed with what we cook up. From local favourites, to flavours and fusions from far away places, we do it all. Something you can’t eat? We’ll cook up alternatives and find a solution . if only we could find a solution to those annoying call centres trying to sell us insurance.
  • Personalised Service
    • Every event is unique, just like that auntie’s potato salad with the raisins and marshmallows. We like getting to know you and what you like. Our goal? A dining experience so tailored, it feels like we’ve read your mind.
  • Sustainable Practices
    • We love Mother Earth as much as a good bobotie! Our meals are crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and we’re big on eco-friendly practices. Indulge guilt-free, knowing we’ve got your carbon footprint covered!
  • Community Engagement
    • We believe in the power of community—like a Chesa nyama, but gourmet! By sourcing locally and partnering with like-minded businesses, we’re not just feeding you; we’re strengthening our community one delicious bite at a time!
  • Memorable Experiences
    • We create moments your guests will reminisce about over a cold Zamalek. With exceptional food and service, your dining experience will be so unforgettable, it’ll become family lore—“Remember that amazing place we ate from?”
