About EJK

Hi, I’m Farah!

The passionate owner behind EJK. I am a foodie and an artist who believes in the power of food to bring people together. My mission is simple: to serve modern wholesome, delicious food made from the freshest produce, with every dish beautifully presented to create lasting memories.

EJK was created with one vision in mind: to make every event and every bite unforgettable.

After years in hospitality—both behind the scenes in kitchens and leading from the front in management—I set out to build something that reflected my love for good food and genuine service, while allowing space for my growing family. That vision became EJK: a café and catering company dedicated to flavour, detail, and down-to-earth hospitality.

The name ‘EJK’ is personal—taken from the first initials of my children’s middle names. It’s a daily reminder of why we do what we do: to nourish, to connect, and to leave people with something they’ll remember.

At EJK, we’re proud to offer a chef-curated menu, combining bold flavours with seasonal ingredients, designed to impress whether you’re ordering catering for a corporate function or grabbing lunch from our café. Our kitchen is led by passionate professionals who bring creativity, care, and precision to everything they prepare.

We also take our coffee seriously—with barista-made espresso using locally roasted beans, every cup is made with intention and care.

Whether you're popping into our café or planning an event, we’re here to make your experience smooth, satisfying, and full of flavour.

This is catering and café food done differently—thoughtfully, professionally, and always with heart.
