Chakalaka Restaurant

For those who love a sense of adventure particularly in their food, Chakalaka will appeal immensely. This Putney restaurant is exotic and funky at the same time, bringing a variety of tantalising dishes from South Africa in their charming venue which is done up in zebra stripes and bright cheerful colours. Tribal paintings and artefacts set the scene and the friendly staff members ensure that your time spent there is put to the best possible use as you experiment with the different kinds of meats and game dishes, imported from the home country.

Amongst the starters, there is the kudu carpaccio, thinly sliced marinated fillet of South African antelope dressed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, parmesan shavings basil pesto. For the main course, you could opt for the springbok loin steak, grilled and served with slow roasted buttery root vegetables and garnished with red onion marmalade and finally end with a delectable milk tart. Chakalaka's drinks list exclusively features wines from South Africa to complete the experience perfectly.
