Our Menu

Every dish sketched from our kitchen notebook. Prices in DZD. No fancy menus — just real food, tested at home, served with soul.

Rechta Doyen

Hand-rolled rechta with white sauce and chicken. The recipe my grandmother refused to write down — I watched instead.

Chorba Frik

Green wheat soup, slow-cooked with lamb. The kind that fixes bad days and cold evenings.

Berkoukes aux Légumes

Big couscous pearls in a rich vegetable broth. Handmade, not from a box. Never from a box.

Mechoui

Slow-roasted lamb shoulder, 6 hours minimum. Falls apart when you look at it. Served with cumin and bread.

Kitchen Journal — Harrach, 2026

Our Story

VakaKitchen started in a tiny apartment kitchen in Harrach. Just me, a gas stove, and a notebook full of my grandmother's recipes — half in Arabic, half in drawings. People in the building kept asking "what's that smell?" so I started cooking for them. Then their friends. Then strangers. Now we're a real kitchen with a handwritten menu and the same stove (upgraded once, it exploded). Every dish comes from that original notebook. No fusion. No trends. Just Harrach food done right.
