Step into the vibrant world of Kafe Kooks, a one-of-a-kind café nestled in the heart of Ultimo Sydney, where the culinary adventure begins with a twist on Asia’s favorite delight – Roti! Since bursting onto the scene in June 2021, Kafe Kooks has redefined the café experience, infusing each dish with the mouthwatering goodness of freshly made roti, alongside strong brews, tantalizing cocktails, and all-day dining delights. Drawing inspiration from David Bowie’s spirited tune “Kooks,” this café embodies a celebration of individuality, echoing the eclectic fusion found in its Asian-inspired menu. 
At Kafe Kooks, Roti takes center stage, serving as the heart and soul of every creation. Owner and Roti aficionado, Andrew Ray (formerly of Long Chim and The Lucas Group), champions Roti as a culinary canvas for boundless creativity, declaring it as versatile as any other bread out there. With Head Chef Victor Thapa (formerly of Rockpool Group) and Roti Master Surish Rajandran at the helm, the menu bursts with innovative dishes like the signature Roti Canai with a tantalizing chicken and potato curry gravy, and the playful ‘Avocado on Toast’ served atop a Roti Coin.
But Kafe Kooks isn’t just about the food – it’s a haven for furry friends too! Duke, Andrew’s beloved Tenterfield Terrier, steals the spotlight as the café’s unofficial mascot, delighting patrons with his charm and the occasional belly rub.
More than just a café, Kafe Kooks is a culinary journey celebrating the magic of Roti and the spirit of individuality. Join the Roti revolution and let every bite tell a story of Asian culinary traditions at Kafe Kooks, where every visit is an invitation to savor the extraordinary in every delicious bite.
