About Chakalaka

Situated in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter on Oldham Street, Chakalaka is the city’s first and only South Africa-inspired bar and kitchen. It’s a relaxed and friendly venue and the perfect place to get to grips with Biltong, Boerewors sausages, Sosatie, Bobotie, Pap balls with Chakalaka relish and South African cocktails. Open every day, they have a regular Happy Hour with a range of South African drinks, from boozy milkshakes with SA cream liqueur Amarula  to unique cocktails like Rooibos MarTEAni and peachy Joburg Sunset, 2-4-1 in Happy Hour timings. There’s a house lager and Cape Brewing pale ale, plus an all-South African wine list.

Nothing I can complain. Lamb Bunny Chow absolutely beautiful, carrot salad coming with os is really refreshing. 10/10, definitely will come again.

Best sadza (pap) and boerewors I've had in England so far. Felt like a home cooked and made me miss my home country. Will definitely be coming back to Manchester for more.

Super great food and really quick efficient service! Accidentally were the first ones is as Chakalaka had just opened but we were given a very warm welcome. Will definitely be going again!
Dom
Tasty food, generous portions but a very small place and service wasn't overly quick. There are better NQ food spots, but this is a decent one.

As a South African, it was good to enjoy some home delights. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a great vibe. The malva pudding tasted of home and was the best way to end the night
