Description
From humble beginnings at the Bruma Flea Market to the central food court in Sandton City, Anat has been an adventure. Our founder, Anat, was a housewife in 1991 with three young children when her family struck financial difficulties. She then recalled her mother’s words: ‘if you ever need cash, fast, sell falafel.’ And so the story of Anat began.
Indulge in mouthwatering Middle Eastern delights at Anat in Gold Reef City restaurants. From flavorful Shwarma and Falafel to tantalizing Laffa and delicious hamburgers, Anat offers a variety of options that will satisfy both vegetarian and meat-loving palates.
This story didn’t start in the nineties however, the real story of hard work and wholesome food started a few generations prior. Anat’s grandfather worked in a falafel shop in Egyptas a teenager. It is here that he learned the craft and ingredients of the food from its native country, Yemen. Then as an adult, he married Anat’s grandmother and had twelve children he needed to support. Anat’s father eventually took over her grandfather’s business and although once upon a time she swore she would never pursue the same path, life had other plans for her.
Anat’s husband then saw a need for meat in their customer base. After much experimenting, she managed to master the art of shwarma and this was incorporated into the menu. Anat then secured a position in the Sandton City food court in 1994 and worked around the clock with her staff to build the shop. Within a year Anat acquired another shop in Eastgate (1995), and from there the Anat brand grew and grew. It grew to the extent that it started making more sense for the brand to bake its own pita bread, and so the bakery was established in 2002. Anat imported an oven, used recipes from an old family cookbook, and Anat Bakery took off.
From the first day of business, Anat has sworn to only provide the best. That’s why Anat has an uncompromising high standard of only the freshest ingredients, served by the most welcoming hands. By naming her business after herself, Anat has ensured that each step in the process of making great food is faultless; after all, her name is on the line.
