Sumthing Tasty is a proudly South African culinary brand rooted in a deep love for authentic home-style cooking, bold local flavours, and everyday convenience. Based in Durban, South Africa, the brand was created to bring the warmth and comfort of traditional meals to modern, busy lifestyles without compromising on quality or authenticity.
The journey of Sumthing Tasty began in Durban’s vibrant Morningside area, where it first opened as a welcoming café known for its flavourful food and relaxed atmosphere. The café quickly became a local favourite, serving hearty breakfasts, satisfying burgers, comforting pasta dishes, and African-inspired meals that reflected the richness of South African cuisine. What made the experience special was not just the food, but the feeling of home and connection created around every plate.
Founded by Thobile Dlani, an innovative chef and passionate entrepreneur, Sumthing Tasty was built on the belief that food has the power to connect people, tell stories, and preserve culture. Thobile’s vision was to honour traditional recipes while adapting them to suit modern needs. His passion for bold flavours and meaningful food experiences continues to shape the brand’s identity today.
As customer demand grew, Sumthing Tasty evolved beyond its café roots. The brand expanded into a range of high-quality, ready-to-eat meals designed for people who want real, comforting food without spending hours in the kitchen. This growth allowed Sumthing Tasty to reach households beyond Durban, bringing trusted flavours to tables across South Africa.
At the heart of Sumthing Tasty is a celebration of South African culinary diversity. From classic curries and slow-cooked stews to traditional favourites inspired by time-honoured recipes, every dish reflects care, heritage, and flavour. The focus is always on food that feels familiar, filling, and deeply satisfying — just like a home-cooked meal should be.
Quality and authenticity guide everything Sumthing Tasty does. Ingredients are carefully selected, recipes are thoughtfully prepared, and every meal is crafted to deliver consistency and great taste. Convenience is important, but it never comes at the expense of flavour or cultural integrity. Each ready-to-heat meal is made to reflect the same standards that defined the original café experience.
Sumthing Tasty’s mission is simple: to bring the warmth of home-cooked meals and bold South African flavours into everyday life. Whether enjoyed fresh from the kitchen, ordered online, or picked up from a retail shelf, every dish represents comfort, culture, and care.
Today, Sumthing Tasty continues to grow as a trusted food brand while staying true to its roots. It remains committed to celebrating local flavours, supporting modern lifestyles, and sharing the joy of authentic South African food with every customer.
