Taking a drive down to Riffa, we went to explore the latest venue at RUW corner, where an exquisitely striking, vibrant and distinctive entrance was just waiting for us to step through into an alternate world.

A magnificent large elephant sculpture welcomed us before the loud bang of an African drum heralded the beginning of our culinary adventure. With hand-crafted interiors and vibrant colours everywhere I turned, stepping into Kula felt like taking a trip back to the motherland. I was loving this already.

With an interior that was put together with fine attention to detail, the restaurant had been split up into different sections – each inspired by one of the magnificent wonders found around the African continent. Starting with the East African country of Uganda which is known for its exquisite bamboo, The Forest is centred right in the middle of the restaurant and features plush couches for guests to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Strolling through the restaurant, we headed towards a semi-open section where the rays of sunshine were streaming in through large windows, highlighting the incredible patterns and stonework that has been inspired by Great Zimbabwe’s most enduring and impressive stone houses. It wasn’t even over by then. The next stop was The Lodge, a family-friendly, intimate, carefully decorated section that even included a beautiful fireplace – radiating the Mzansi experience from central South Africa.
