    Join the (Supper) Club at Yaya's Kitchen!

    Yaya’s Kitchen is not your average dining establishment. Located in the London Food Incubator at 630 Dundas, this local gem is a commercial kitchen that hosts monthly pop-ups and supper clubs. Malvin Wright and his wife Maryam, who's dubbed "the face of the organization," opened Yaya’s Kitchen last year after their at-home supper clubs were growing so much in popularity, they decided to take the next step.
