My name is Mandla Shabangu, the Founder and Head Chef of Kota Gourmet.

Food has always been more than a profession to me—it's my way of bringing people together and creating memorable experiences. As a professionally trained chef, I built Kota Gourmet with a simple vision: to elevate everyday food through quality ingredients, bold creativity, and uncompromising standards.

Every recipe, every menu item, and every new concept reflects my hands-on approach. From our signature Royal Lobster Kota to our handcrafted desserts, I believe every dish should leave a lasting impression.

Kota Gourmet is more than a restaurant—it's a reflection of my passion for innovation, excellence, and creating food that people remember long after the last bite.
