The Siba Deli Foodshop + Eatery aims to offer wholesome, home-style meals that are easy to enjoy, catering to various dining needs.

According to Mtongana, the shop offers wholesome, home-style meals that are easy to enjoy, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, settling in for a meal, or taking something delicious home to your family.

The menu boasts a variety of delectable options, including:

Siba’s Famous Chakalaka & Egg on Toast

Beef Fillet

Mushroom & Samp Risotto

Grilled Chicken & Asian Ginger Corn Salad

Oxtail with Truffle Pap & Green

A BRAND EVOLUTION ROOTED IN PURPOSE

Mtongana views the new deli as a significant step in her journey. “This exciting venture is part of a brand evolution that is rooted in purpose, community, and the simple joy of good food,” she stated.

GLOBAL RECOGNITION

The launch follows a year of international acclaim for the Food Network chef. Earlier this year, Siba Mtongana was named one of the Top 20 Trailblazers at the prestigious Canadian Global Awards 2025.

Posting about the achievement on Instagram, she expressed her deep gratitude:

“To be recognised alongside such extraordinary individuals from across the world, each one shaping their industries, lifting communities, and using their voice for purpose, is deeply humbling,” Siba said.
