An interview with Chef Rabie at Bo’Jangles – My kitchen has only success and no failure. 

Upon first introduction, Chef Rabie proudly shares his heritage and the significance of his name, which originates from Arabic roots and translates to “Spring Season” and “Maestro.” As he delves into his narrative, it is impossible not to be captivated by his impeccable demeanour – he exudes the essence of a true chef through his appearance, eloquent speech, and professional conduct.

When I asked him: “How do you teach passion, he responded: “With love”. 

His portfolio of 20 years in the business and 13 years as an Executive Pastry Chef is not just down to skill alone and is not dictated by money or fame. He speaks of building heritage and the future of pastry gastronomy in Zambia.

He is most certainly not without ambition and plans to expand the food travel map of his already illustrious career to the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions. It’s not for now, though, and he plans to stay long enough to infuse Lusaka with the flavours of Belgian chocolate, vanilla from Madagascar and impeccably balanced sweet treats and gelatos from Italy – the likes of which have rarely been experienced.

Chef Rabie

Chef Rabie is 37 years old and comes from Morocco. He is a veteran in the pastry kitchen and the son of a Chef whose professional heritage is in the King’s kitchens. This is where he draws his pride and quiet confidence.

Food excellence is a way of life for this passionate and inspired Chef, who boasts over 20 years of experience in the business. When he was first invited to Zambia, he trained over 40 chefs in the Copperbelt region, in Ndola, before joining the Lusaka Bo’Jangles kitchens, where he will have passed on his knowledge through theory and practical training classes at the restaurant to over 100 chefs by the end of this quarter. Ndola is the location of the first Bo’Jangles restaurant in Zambia, which remains the most popular restaurant in the city. It set a high standard for culinary excellence, which the Lusaka branch also lives up to.

A true professional, he also has the spirit of his nomadic ancestors. He has travelled to 18 countries, where he opened 11 pastry kitchens worldwide, ranging from hotel resorts to coffee shops. Chef Rabie is setting high standards and has aspirations to make his new home in Lusaka a world-class food destination in the heart of the capital city. 

The Foodie Destination

Bo’Jangles has fast become a premier foodie destination in Lusaka. It is located at Longacres Mall in Lusaka and sits adjacent to Kenneth Kaunda Square, which features a spectacular statue of Zambia’s founding father.
