The James Beard-nominated chef Shenarri Freeman is opening her latest culinary outpost in Los Angeles.
Now, a plant-based restaurant in Los Angeles is nothing new. But a plant-based restaurant by Overthrow Hospitality’s Shenarri Freeman certainly is: the young chef behind New York’s Cadence has become a bonafide rising star in the culinary world after nabbing a James Beard nomination for Best New Chef in 2022. So for Ubuntu, her latest project in West Hollywood opening August 1, it’s best to have your Resy app ready.
“Ubuntu,” which roughly means “humanity” in Zulu, is Freeman’s vegan take on West African cuisine. Think jollof arancini with curry, tomato, and miso as well as jackfruit. For dessert, diners have their choice between a plantain cardamom tart and puff puff bread with pineapple ginger chutney. Freeman was inspired to develop a West African menu after spending time in Lagos, Accra, and Dakar. While dining there, she was struck at how much their offerings resembled those she ate growing up in Richmond, Virginia, including the use of rice, okra, beans, and cornmeal. “Learning the history of Southern cuisine and how it relates back to West Africa—it was a very interesting concept for both a restaurant and me as an individual,” Freeman tells.
Their beverage menu is also robust. Cocktails come with tropical ingredients. The “Jam Afrique” is comprised of D’usee cognac, lemongrass, creole and cocoa bitters, whereas the “Sobolo Sangria'' is made with hibiscus-grenadine, orange liqueur, orange juice, and martini brut. As for wines? “Our mission is to have all Black-owned wines on the menu,” Freeman says.
