Gugu's Kitchen

Our Story

From a humble family kitchen to East London's favorite food spot

How It All Began

At Gugu's Kitchen, we're proud to be known for serving 'The Best Kotas in Town.' For years, our signature dish has been a local favorite, crafted with the perfect balance of fresh ingredients, flavorful seasonings, and a generous spirit.

Every kota is made to order, just the way you like it, because we believe that a great meal is more than just food—it's a taste of home. So come by, give us a call at 083 752 0124, and discover why everyone is talking about Gugu's legendary kotas.

Though we've grown from those early days, we've never lost sight of our roots. Every dish we serve carries the heart and soul of Gugu's original recipes, prepared with the same care and attention that made us famous.
