Unveiling Our Heritage: The Truro Story

Journey through Time and Flavor, From 1860 to London 2023

Our Culinary Odyssey: A Tale of Heritage and Flavor

In 1860, the Truro sailed from Southern Asia to the welcoming shores of Port Natal, South Africa. The resilient South Asian community that emerged crafted a culinary heritage as enduring as their spirit.

Now in 2023, The Truro Restaurant in London pays homage to this rich history. Our team, with roots in South Asia, South Africa, and various other parts of Africa, brings a tapestry of flavours to your table – a celebration of Indo-African tastes.

From perfectly grilled prawns to humble but beloved toasties, our menu is inspired by the diverse South African influences. Every dish narrates a story of resilience and shared experiences, with authentic spices sourced directly from South Africa. Join us for more than a meal – an exhilarating adventure through our culinary story!
