THE BEGINNING OF OUR JOURNEY
Get ready to satisfy It all started with a simple question in 2019: "Where can I get the best Jollof?" One colleague's casual inquiry led to an answer that sparked a culinary movement. "I can make you some," turned a shared love for food into what would become Oliver Twist Shack.
Our Story
From that moment, what began as a small idea evolved into something much greater. The passion for creating bold, flavorful dishes grew, and soon Oliver Twist Shack opened its doors, offering a unique mix of local and continental cuisine to the community. From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: deliver exceptional value and unforgettable flavors.
Why the name Oliver Twist? Like the young orphan from Charles Dickens' classic tale, we’ve always believed in asking for more. That famous scene where Oliver asks for another helping inspired our entire philosophy: more flavor, more value, more experiences that keep you coming back for more.
But what truly sets us apart? Since opening, we’ve proudly served over 20,000 happy customers, offering both dine-in and delivery options. We don’t just make meals—we create experiences. Every plate is made with passion, care, and a commitment to quality. And as we’ve grown, we’ve kept one thing constant: making sure every visit leaves you wanting more.
Oliver Twist Shack isn’t just about food. We believe in giving back. Through the OTCares Foundation, we support our community by helping the less privileged, one plate at a time. Our goal has always been to uplift those around us, just as we uplift our customers with every meal.
We aim to be the most sustainable restaurant in every community we serve. With a warm, inviting atmosphere, we provide a space for friends and families to come together and enjoy great food while making a positive impact on the environment. Every visit supports our efforts to create a more sustainable future.
Where do we go from here? We envision expanding Oliver Twist Shack into new communities, offering spaces for people to gather, enjoy unique meals, and create lasting memories. With plans to grow our food delivery services and open new locations, we’re just getting started.
Cooking at Oliver Twist Shack isn't just about making food—it's about creating moments. Every dish I prepare carries the weight of tradition, passion, and a desire to make someone’s day just a little bit better. From the first Jollof rice I served to now feeding thousands of guests, each plate tells a story—of love, community, and the joy of sharing a meal. Seeing our customers smile, hearing them ask for more, it reminds me why I started this journey. It’s not just food; it’s my heart on a plate.
