Middle Eastern & Mediterranean family recipes Cooked from the heart!
Food and family go hand in hand at COOKED. It’s embodied in the sharing of a delicious meal with loved ones, and the making of memories around a family table. Our recipes have been passed down from generation to generation, starting as far back as 1893 with Bobba’s cheesecake, which has ‘survived’ all the way from Lithuania… to Cape Town!
Our inspiration mostly comes from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean roots, where it’s all about the best of fresh, seasonal ingredients, skillfully combined and lightly treated, all coming together in a delicious and memorable experience. True to our ancestors creative and somewhat rebellious natures, we have sneaked in some more contemporary dishes, but when it comes to bagels, we are 100% traditional… hand rolled and boiled, just like Bobba did!

How can you not go see for yourself when Cooked gets a Michelin Star each for ambience, service and Food from me? I am not fussy when it comes to food...as long as I have something to line my stomach...it is always a Blessing...but I keep returning to Cooked and I wondered 'why'?' after a while...Cooked was maturing my taste buds to a degree in which I am now able to discern beautiful, fragrant, fresh, succulent,radiant food, from just the ordinary. Truth is, such incredible tastes, in healthy portions, for someone like me who cannot afford to eat out often, Cooked is seriously value for money! One slow-cooked lamb kubiz or even the haloumi kubiz, with a slice of the best baked cheesecake in the world for after, and then a delish coffee and cigarette at the outside bar area...I'm good for the rest of the day...and so I save in food because I don't have to cook supper for me...even if it is fried egg on toast!

Where to even begin! It has a simply unbeatable buzz and a magnetic energy that immediately draws you in, only to be met with the happy smiles of the fabulous team. AND THE FOOD! You can taste the love, yes I said it, LITERALLY taste the love. Using only the freshest ingredients combined with passed on family recipes, Cooked has truly created a unique flavour that no one in Cape Town is doing. If you haven't been, do yourself a favour and go get all that flavour (and love, can't forget the love).
