Mozambican Classics

At The Chicken Guy, our menu is more than a list, it is a living achieve of Mozambican soul, British grit and ancestral rhythm. Every dish is curated by Chef Walter Gumas, blending fire and flavour with huge testimony, and tradition. From the smoky depths of Galinha a Zambeziana to the herbal warmth of our Healing Broths, each plate is a tribute to VoVo Guigui, to survival, to legacy, to the joy she felt when feeding others with dignity.

Sopa Da Pedra
“I learned to cook this classic when I started my journey in Port. It was one of the first dishes that taught me how food could carry history, humility, and heart in every spoonful.” A rich, rustic Portuguese soup made with red beans, chorizo, pork belly, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage — all simmered slowly in a savory broth until every ingredient sings in harmony. Traditionally served with a decorative stone to honor the legend behind its name, this dish is both humble and hearty.

Gumas BBQ Special's

Gumas BBQ Special's

This is where Gumas BBQ goes global — a rotating showcase of dishes inspired by the lands that shaped us and the flavors that move us. Each special is crafted with seasonal ingredients and plated with purpose, blending Mozambican soulfood with culinary traditions from across the world. We begin in Portugal, where Walter first lit the fire of his culinary journey. Expect classics like Bacalhau com Natas, Polvo à Lagareiro, and Sopa da Pedra — each dish reimagined with the smoky depth and storytelling style of Gumas BBQ. Next, we journey to Cape Verde, then onward — tracing the spice routes, migration stories, and soulful kitchens that connect continents. From grilled cod with grelos to cuttlefish in ink, every plate is a passport. Every bite is a statement. No two weeks are the same. These specials are limited, seasonal, and unforgettable — designed to surprise, delight, and honor the legacy of flavor.

Bacalhau com Natas
Creamed Salt Cod Casserole Flaked salted cod layered with sautéed onions and thinly sliced potatoes, folded into a rich béchamel and cream sauce. Baked until golden and bubbling, then finished with a crisp cheese crust and fresh parsley. It’s comfort food with elegance, creamy, smoky, and deeply rooted in Portuguese tradition. “I first learned this dish in Porto, at the very start of my culinary journey. It taught me how simplicity, when done with care, becomes unforgettable.”
