With cooks from five continents, The Good Food Project Nundah brings the best of world cuisine with a social flavour.
The Good Food Project is a not-for-profit social enterprise providing training opportunities for people who face barriers to employment. We are led by qualified Chef’s and staffed entirely by people with disadvantages - some have disabilities, mental health issues, and many have arrived in Australia as refugees. Our common ground is that we, aside from being amazing cooks, want to belong, to contribute, to work and be a part of our community. Thanks for helping us achieve this goal.
By supporting The Good Food Project enterprises, you get to experience a menu as diverse as it's staff from Syrian to Persian, Sri Lankan to Bhutanese cuisine and so much more.
We are always evolving how we deliver our services due to changing staff, talents, opportunities and social cues. For instance, 2020 -2022 saw us park the food trailer and catering businesses. We hope to get these up and running again. Our cooking classes are on hold too as we embark on an exciting new venture in Brisbane City.
Marhaba Cafe in the old Red Cross Tea Rooms in the basement of City Hall is a comfortable respite from the hustle of the city streets. Air-conditioned, with soft background music and free-wifi plus wheelchair access it’s the perfect spot to recharge and rest those weary legs. With a menu that reflects our cooks’ diverse backgrounds mixed with cafe favourites and great coffee, we’re looking forward to welcoming you.
We derive 100% of our income through trade, which we're very proud of. Having financial freedom allows us to organically develop our business into a collaborative and fluid model, with a flow on effect of increasing independence and autonomy in our staff.
