Sumthing Tasty is a proudly South African culinary brand built on a deep love for authentic home-style cooking, bold local flavours, and everyday convenience. Based in Durban, South Africa, the brand was born from a passion for food that brings people together, celebrates culture, and delivers comfort through taste. What began as a welcoming café experience has evolved into a trusted name for ready-to-eat meals enjoyed by households across the country.
Rooted in tradition yet shaped by modern lifestyles, Sumthing Tasty focuses on delivering high-quality meals that reflect the richness of South African cuisine. Every dish is prepared with care, using time-honoured recipes and flavour combinations that feel familiar, satisfying, and deeply comforting.
The story of Sumthing Tasty Durban began in the vibrant suburb of Morningside, where a small but thriving café quickly became known for its warm atmosphere and flavour-packed menu. Locals were drawn to the café for its hearty breakfasts, satisfying burgers, comforting pasta dishes, and African-inspired meals that felt like home on a plate.
As demand grew, so did the vision. What started as a cosy eatery soon expanded beyond café walls, transforming into a brand that could reach customers far beyond Durban. This evolution allowed Sumthing Tasty to meet the needs of busy individuals and families looking for convenient meals without compromising on taste or authenticity.
Sumthing Tasty was founded by Thobile Dlani, an innovative South African chef and entrepreneur driven by a desire to connect people through food. With a strong appreciation for local flavours and cultural diversity, Thobile envisioned a brand that honoured traditional cooking while adapting to modern eating habits.
His approach blends creativity with respect for heritage, ensuring that each meal carries a sense of story and identity. Under his leadership, Sumthing Tasty has grown into a brand that reflects both culinary excellence and a deep understanding of South African food culture.
At the heart of Sumthing Tasty is a celebration of South African cuisine in all its diversity. The brand draws inspiration from classic curries, slow-cooked stews, and traditional favourites that have been passed down through generations. These dishes are crafted to deliver bold flavour, warmth, and a sense of familiarity with every bite.
Rather than chasing trends, Sumthing Tasty focuses on food that feels genuine and rooted in tradition. This commitment ensures that customers experience the true essence of local cooking, whether they are enjoying a comforting curry or a hearty, well-balanced meal.
