Soul Kitchen unfolds as a unique fusion of Latin American and Levantine flavours, inviting patrons on an engaging, artistic journey that celebrates regional alternative culture. Dedicated to embodying the essence of migration, the restaurant mirrors the experiences of Lebanese creatives finding refuge, echoing historical migration patterns from Levantine communities to South America in the 19th century.
The dining venue’s interiors serve as an artistic gateway, narrating a compelling story through art installations, with the venue hosting semi-permanent exhibitions by renowned artists like Iwan Maktabi, subtly reflecting the rich history of migration. Don’t miss the Migrating Birds behind the bar and the delicate Feathers of Migrating Birds in the green room which narrates the enduring journey of Levantine people.
The highlights
Soul Kitchen pays homage to the Arab diaspora in Latin America, tracing the migration since the 19th century and the culinary transformation as Levantine cuisine adapted to local ingredients across the continent. Upon entering, the lively atmosphere energised by cultural tunes, sets the stage for an immersive experience.
We first tucked into the sublime Corn salad, featuring local charred corn, pomegranate seeds, crispy corn, pickled onion, and guasacaca dressing. The Eggplant 3 ways showcased a beautifully presented dish, highlighting the vegetable’s versatility with fried slices, mutabbal, and chips.
The Hummus chimichurri presented a distinctive blend, incorporating green chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, chimichurri, pine nuts, and bread crisps, while the Crispy shawarma empanadas showcased a creative fusion with a chicken shawarma filling, guasacaca sauce, and mango pico de Gallo.
The Soul Kitchen mixed grill impressively showcased culinary excellence, notably the marbled perfection of Wagyu picanha alongside Wagyu kafta, creating a flavourful contrast with well-seasoned marinated chicken and perfectly grilled lamb chops.
Dessert proved to be a sweet conclusion with the layered Chocolate & coffee tres leches stealing the spotlight. The combination of chocolate cake, coffee-infused condensed milk, chocolate milk, and mocha ganache provided a decadent finale to our culinary journey. One of our favourites of the year!
