سناء خالد .. وجه مشرق من بلادي

When customers come to Kebabooz, they not only get to experience the food, but also the whole Sudanese cultural experience. Tell us about that — what were you aiming for with this?x

I wish that I planned for the restaurant before I came back from my last trip to Sudan — I would have brought more stuff! These are the things I had at home on display. This is my wedding scarf! The masks on the wall are made of ebony. Unfortunately it’s hard to get these now in Sudan, as they are made in what’s now known as South Sudan, an independent country. When we went last time, separation was not yet set — it was still one country, the way I have always loved it. But ebony trees grow in the south, and Southern people are very good in carving them in different shapes, and even table utensils and tableware.x
