Best Dishes at Kudu
Lamb Barnsley Chop
MainsA substantial cut — the double-loin Barnsley chop is charred over the open fire until the crust is dark and the interior stays pink and tender. Tomato vierge (a light, fresh tomato sauce) and charred courgettes balance the richness of the meat. This is braai cooking at its most straightforward and satisfying.
Whole Black Bream with Butter Rotis
MainsA showstopper meant for sharing. The whole black bream is grilled over the braai, the flesh becoming delicate and flaky while the skin crisps. Served with warm butter rotis (Indian flatbread) and a fresh mixed salad, it's a feast that celebrates the simplicity of fire-cooking.
Kudu Bread with Melted Butter
StartersA simple opener that sets the tone for what's to come — warm, house-baked bread served with a choice of melted butters. It's the kind of small gesture that signals care and hospitality.
Braai Yellowtail Tacos
Small PlatesDelicious chunks of braai-charred yellowtail are plated on warm flour tortillas, topped with a crisp slaw and drizzled with avocado mayo. It's a lighter, more casual take on the braai's offerings — bright, fresh, and with just the right amount of smoke.
Dry-Aged T-Bone Steak (1kg)
MainsA massive steak meant for sharing. The 1kg dry-aged T-bone is cooked over the braai to order, the aging concentrating the beefy flavour. At this size and cut, it's a celebration — the kind of dish that transforms dinner into an event.
About Kudu
Kudu Marylebone is the flagship location where three South London venues (Kudu Restaurant, Kudu Grill, and Curious Kudu) consolidated in September 2025.

Braai is South African barbecue — expect open-fire cooking, smokey flavours, and meat-forward cuisine. Come hungry and ready to share large plates.
The central bar with counter dining gives you a view of the open fire braai — book counter seats for the full experience.
Sunday lunch and roast service starts at 11:30am. It's a great time to visit if you want a more relaxed atmosphere than weekday evenings.
Many of the best dishes are designed for sharing — the whole fish, the dry-aged steaks, the lamb chops. Come with a group and order several items to share.
