UBUNTU is the new plant-based restaurant inspired by West African ingredients and helmed by 2022 James Beard Award semifinalist Shenarri “Greens” Freeman (Cadence, NYC). Ubuntu is run, in partnership, with Overthrow Hospitality, founded by 2022 James Beard Award nominee Ravi DeRossi. Located on Melrose Ave in West Hollywood, Ubuntu, inspired by Shenarri's travels and a desire to explore her roots, transports guests to the African continent with twists on traditional dishes from Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, and West Africa. Vegetables are front and center in signature dishes and are complemented by wines from black-owned vintners. Our full bar offers a cocktail program composed of African ingredients designed by acclaimed mixologist Colin Asare-Appiah, author of "Black Excellence: A Comprehensive Guide To Black Mixology," renowned as a trendsetting pioneer of the spirits industry.
