Our Story
From One Corner to the Whole City
In 1956, Khadija Akhalwaya opened a tiny shop in Fordsburg to feed her eleven children. What started as a mother's act of love became a Johannesburg institution.
Through apartheid evictions, the 2021 fire that burnt the flagship to the ground, and the community revival that brought it back — Solly's Corner has fed legends, refugees, regulars, taxi drivers, students and CEOs alike.
Same recipes. Same family. Same corner. Seventy years on.
