Nestled at 21 Forrest Road, CHE is a passion project born from love of food, culture and community. The owner — widely said to bear a striking resemblance to Che Guevara himself — brings the same revolutionary spirit to every plate.

We proudly fly the Palestinian flag and serve 100% Halal food: slow-roasted shawarmas, hand-pressed falafel, stone-baked pizzas and generous sides made fresh every single day. Affordable, flavourful and utterly authentic.
