Our Philosophy

Rooted in the Earth.
Expressed at the Table.

Tushen draws from the oldest and most vibrant food cultures on earth. From the spice-laden tagines of Morocco to the fire-kissed nyama choma of Kenya. From the soul of Nigerian jollof to the fragrant pilau of Zanzibar. Every menu is a journey across a continent that has been feeding the world since the beginning.

We bring this journey to your table. Your home. Your event. Your moment. No restaurant. No reservation system. Just a private chef, an extraordinary menu, and an evening worth remembering.

Our Process

From First Conversation to Final Course.

Every Tushen evening is built from the ground up. Here is how we move from an idea to a night your guests will speak about for years.

Step 01

Enquiry

It starts with your enquiry. From there we open a private conversation about your occasion, your guests, and the story you want the evening to tell. No menus on a clipboard, no templates.

Step 02

Menu

Our chef composes a bespoke menu drawn from across the continent, sourcing rare spices, heritage grains and seasonal produce specific to your night.

Step 03

Setup

On the day, our team arrives early to transform your space, kitchen, table, light and sound, so the experience feels effortless from the first arrival.

Step 04

Service

Course by course, our chef and front-of-house host your evening, pouring, plating, telling the stories behind each dish, then leaving you to the night.

Special Occasions

About Tushen

Born from Africa.
Built for the World's Table.

Tushen is a culinary experience for those who treat hospitality as a quiet art. Founded by culinary experts, experience designers, and hosts shaped by the heritage of Kenya, the Igbo culture, and the ancient Kingdom of Benin, alongside European and Australian influences, our work moves between continents, but always begins with the same idea: that the most memorable evenings happen in private.

Every menu is sourced thoughtfully, prepared in-house on the day, and served at your table by the team that cooked it. No service charge theatrics. No restaurant churn. Only the meal, the room, and the people inside it.

Tushen. From Hausa, the root. The foundational principle behind every table we set.
