Thus the beauty of Afro SamKal, apart from its simplicity and informality, is that it is providing a service to the community in South London. Both Kaliso and Melly work extremely hard to please their customers. The restaurant is open till midnight everyday of the week. Through their business, they have generated a steady trade, supplying ethnic meals to the local community. They have, by now, a good and loyal following.
Most people come in to meet others and to enjoy the ambience and no-fuss atmosphere.
I asked Kaliso how he felt about the insults he gets from some of of his difficult customers. They insult me but they eat my food and pay for it. That's all right by me. I offer them a service which they like. They still come back here.
