Ordering Strategy
Ordering the bread course is mandatory; share the smoked prawn crullers as a snack, and if dining in a group, consider the Durban pineapple dessert.
What to order
Kudu Bread
Acclaimed as an 'absolute must-have' by critics, this signature course features warm bread served with a choice of melted butters, such as Cape Malay butter with curried pickled shallots or house-cured bacon and shrimp butter.
Braai Pork Chop
A 'whopper' of a flame-grilled cut served with 'monkey gland' sauce—a dark-brown, sharp but sweet chutney-ketchup hybrid. It is a hearty staple that successfully anchored the menu during the restaurant's move to Marylebone.
Smoked Prawn Crullers
Called a 'contender for best snack of the year,' these 'itsy-bitsy' savory bites are filled with miso and pickled cucumber, representing the 'posh dinner-party' side of the menu.
Kudu Kit Kat Tart
A dessert featuring 'tableside theatre' where marshmallow is caramelized with hot irons. Though critics note it is 'absolutely nothing like a KitKat,' they praise the rich combination of chocolate mousse and kumquat.

Good to know
This Marylebone site amalgamates the team's former Peckham locations (Kudu, Kudu Grill, etc.) into one upscale venue; request a seat at the counter to watch the open kitchen.
