About this spot
Mariam's Kitchen serves up hearty comfort food that feels like a warm hug in the heart of Woodstock, where locals gather for slow-cooked stews and crispy fried chicken. The menu changes frequently based on what's fresh at the market, but expect rustic sides like pap or coleslaw to accompany your main. It's the kind of spot where you'll find yourself debating whether to order the braai platter or just share a few plates with friends.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the pap first thing in the morning for breakfast; it's often sold out by lunchtime.
- Ask for extra chutney on the side if you want to dip your bread into every bite of the stew.
- Save room for dessert, as the homemade cakes are just as famous as the savory mains.
