Lavan Traditional Meals started with one simple idea: bring real, home-style South African cooking to Glen Austin — the kind of food that takes all day to get right and disappears in minutes once it's dished up.
From mala mogodu simmered low and slow, to hard body chicken off the fire, to a proper smiley done the traditional way — every dish is cooked the way it's meant to be, no shortcuts.
We're getting ready to open our doors with a full launch celebration on 24 September 2026, and from there, you'll find us serving up drive-through takeaways every Saturday at 24 Allan Road.
