Overview

Fittzroy's OKO Rooftop and Cafe is best known for serving up Med-inspired brunch and incredible meatball subs, but for one night in September, the team is championing all things Sudanese. 

OKO's Chef and Co-Founder Seb Pasinetti has teamed up with social enterprise Welcome Merchant, and Sudanese artist and activist Bakri Mahmoud to host a three-course dinner on Sunday, September 29. 

Your feed will include Sudanese-style falafels with a side of peanut butter salad, yoghurt dip and bread; okra stew with aseeda and chilli dip; plus a sweet treat to finish. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available, while booze can be purchased from the bar.

There'll also be a bunch of raffle prizes up for grabs during the night, including artwork, jewellery, cookbooks and skincare products. The dinner will cost a cool $70, and all ticket proceeds will go to Khartoum Aid Kitchen and the Sudanese American Physicians Association.

OKO is a fairly small venue, so tickets are highly limited. Be sure to nab them quickly.
