You can also rely on a petrol station to provide a decent meal at every hour, but sometimes you want something with a little more flavour. In the heart of Rosebank, tucked inside an Astron Energy petrol station, something remarkable is happening. Relish, a premium 24/7 eatery, is changing the way Joburg eats and where it chooses to do so.
Relish: Joburg 24/7 Gourmet Spot
Just three months since opening its doors, Relish has become a rising favourite for food lovers who want flavour-forward meals, style, and speed, whether it’s 5 a.m. or midnight. Designed with rich textures of copper, marble, and earthy tones, the space seats around 100x people and is as much about atmosphere and experience as it is about what’s available in-store or on the plate.
The menu created under the culinary direction of Chef Muhammad Patel, also known as Chef Mo, is a reflection of modern Johannesburg: fast-paced, flavourful, and globally inspired.
“People don’t just stop by anymore. They come to mark a moment, satisfy a craving, wind down after a long day or simply for household essentials that are needed. It’s intentional, and that’s what makes Relish special. It fits into real life.” – Chef Mo
An Everyday Oasis
Relish doesn’t just meet people where they are; it elevates their everyday. That’s why it’s proudly positioning itself as “Your everyday oasis”: a premium yet accessible experience that blends culinary innovation with around-the-clock convenience. Whether you’re grabbing essentials on your way home or indulging in a thoughtfully prepared meal after hours, Relish creates a moment of calm and delight in the hustle of Johannesburg.
The early hours between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. have become an unexpected sweet spot for the eatery, with Run Clubs, gym-goers, and commuters creating a community of regulars. Each diverse group fuels up with quality, real food at the start of their day. Likewise, late-night regulars include media professionals, creatives, and post-party diners looking for something indulgent, but thoughtfully made.
Exclusive Tastes
Beyond the hot food offering, Relish is also home to a curated deli featuring exclusive imported snacks and rare lifestyle goods not easily found in South Africa – from Japanese Kit-Kats and Dubai chocolates to Italian pantry staples, global condiments. It also offers collectible Labubu dolls for those who are obsessed with the latest consumer-driven trend.
This carefully chosen retail element adds an unexpected layer of discovery and luxury to the overall experience — a perfect extension of its ‘everyday oasis’ promise.
As Joburg’s rhythms evolve, Relish is tapping into a broader cultural shift: a new kind of luxury defined by 24-hour accessibility, spontaneity, and quality that keeps up with the city’s pace. This is not just a place to eat and shop, it’s a place to belong, your everyday oasis, wherever you are in your day.
