oh it's video oh wait. I know what to do. Hi everyone, Burger King just opened in Mauritius
so then why is everyone talking about The Food Factory. let's go find out. Come on.
Awesome they also do a prawn one. wow so this is my pizza. Ooh is that tomato.
yes freshly made our signature tomato sauce. and this is the cheese. mozzarella. the onion. so this
is almost an exact replica of the the wrap. yeah you don't fold up the pizza though right
and then origanum. look how he shakes it. real expert. into the hot oven. wow that is really
hot. when it's onto a hot stone as well. look at that and look it's shaped. oh beautiful.
oh man you know that skill. lids back on okay. okay i think my pizza is ready. oh look at that.
oh look it's it's actually beautifully puffed on the edges. then onto the wood board. knife through
like butter. garlic sauce. garlic sauce made of yogurt garlic and mint but it's a complete secret.
and this one is for you. and this one is for me. so he takes the slip.
he puts it there so Riki can see it and then Riki takes over. wait there's Riki.
thank you so much
well it's about half past 12 and the place is starting to fill up. remember when I
said there's a reason for this. this is the lunch combo specials. those are good prices.
so they do kebab wraps. so this is the wrap
so some lettuce. a little bit of cabbage
no the pizza is mine i already made it. and then the tomato. it's pickled onions. these are actual
pickled onions. oh wow. this is the coriander because we still live in Mauritius remember.
oh it's the pomegranate. this is a fancy pomegranate reduction. reduction. pomegranate
reduction. oh and doesn't that look really look beautiful already. they should actually
just serve it like this now. oh wait no we're gonna get chicken. this is the the
shawarma. it's called the shawarma. I finally figured it out. and then on with the chicken
and that's a pile of chicken. that really is a lot of chicken that they put on here.
getting my shadow out of the way a little bit. wait a second you put more on. this just because
it's mine or everyone gets this much. everyone. so I'm not special. I thought you'd give me extra but
apparently look how much there is anyway. and this is a special garlic and yogurt and secret sauce.
now we're gonna wrap. and now he's gonna roll it and and this is probably where
the real skill comes. it's really simple. years and years of practice.
and then into the fire. well it's been about five seconds since they made mine and they're
on another four. these guys never stop. and I'm just in the way now so I'm gonna get out of here.
I almost forgot that my wrap is ready. oh look at that it actually gets golden toasty.
oh that must be a sharp knife or that must be a soft wrap.
so we got the Zoli beautiful guy, the beautiful guy. zoli garcon. zoli garcon.
I think that's a rough translation something to do with me
but it's these guys actually getting it all done. zoli garcon
zoli garcon. he actually gave it to me because that's my name. cos you kept saying soggy soggy garcon everyone that's my
pizza let's go outside and eat it. okay so this is pretty cool. on the long table inside and outside
once you've grabbed your food you can just share a table
with other people so that's like really friendly. and like like a big family. i like that
what's pretty cool is I can actually learn some Creole statements here. have a look at this one
well they put artists paintings
all around the walls. local artists can have some exposure. and I think every Friday or so they
even have a live band. and of course everyone knows what fries look like but I'm going to show this
anyway. oh he's got secret sauce that he puts on. salt secret salt. I won't show you. okay so no seeing.
every night the guys come and clean the oil
and that is important that's why their chips are so good
no way that is the most epic idea I've heard of. those are gourmet fries now
coriander gourmet fries. that's for you and over to a happy Riki again
well these are our coriander fries and Riki's going to put a little bit of sauce on it but
look it's like this it's like a pump action you get as much as you like. like proper sauce station
awesome and of course there's some ketchup as well so that was a little bit of um
mayonnaise a little bit of ketchup. it's got a little bit of an action to it I'm trying
to be careful that's why. oh that smells lovely actually let me just try it it's okay not too hot
it's hot but it's very fresh obviously Riki's gonna put a little bit of chilli on just a
couple of the slices because it smells that good it actually tastes ridiculously nice
a little bit behind the scenes we're already eating the chips
pizza. Zoli Garcon. See what I have to put up with him and language
nice? but there's something else you guys wait here. I'll be back in a second
oh man Riki was so right this chili is awesome it's a little bit spicy but the flavor is so
great it is actually a really nice fresh chili with coriander and stuff in it
it has afterburner. this is the best pizza we've had in Mauritius so far. it's the base
they make it themselves and they know how to make bread. second of all it's the tomato. that tomato
sauce homemade with herbs from the garden and thirdly that secret sauce that that
sauce that I've told you the ingredients to like 100 times so it's a secret ingredient
great pizza. that's a great pizza. that is a great pizza. it's not just great it's a little messy
man look at that it's so paper thin. oh wow oh. I think it's good
you get the coriander. that's it the coriander you can actually see it it's
actually a green layer in there if you love coriander you're going to love these wraps
so this is a special oil for the falafel so that they dont mix. they actually make their
falafels and they keep it all separate so it doesn't mix up with the other oils. awesome
salad. falafel vegetarian meat. the chefs here are actually professionally trained. a lot of
them come from like five-star hotels and and cruise ships and this is because of
Covid, they they obviously lost their jobs but this is their. this is their secret actually
is to have the best chefs in Mauritius working right here. turning problems into opportunities
awesome very clever guys. well it's right here on Sotisse road that way to La Croisette
and that way to The Vale. so in Grand Bay. so in Grand Bay right next to right next
to Sotisse chimney so there's a chimney close by that's got to be good luck and they've got
lots of parking apparently for 70 cars. there's actually a toilet. really nice toilet as well
so now you know. there's no mirrors I can't wait I can wave in my reflection
there you go so there's a really nice bathroom also. this is the gran noir
you can actually get a great coffee from the coffee machine. from Maugatu
from uh okay
Sasha is one of my cousin. okay so another cousin yeah so she makes all of our desserts. wow that looks
like a milk tart. all of these desserts are also located in Intermart and SuperU. okay so you can find these
there are also. right but it's like a speciality at our place. you can get them here. this is called the
milk tart. from South Africa. cake in the tub I've actually heard of this. like heaven chocolate yeah
it's like a gooey sticky chocolate cake. it's like a muddy chocolate. snicker bar snicker bar
the snickers with caramel. no way. cheesecake. snicker bar cheesecake.
this will really give you enough energy for one week.
how much are those normally. so this is 145 rupees
wow okay 145. New York cheesecakes the original cheese the original cheesecake
oh man your cousin knows how to bake. a brownie of course it's uh because you guys are healthy after
all it's walnut and brownie walnut so if you have missed some calories in the wrap you can catch up
yeah fantastic we have one more we will just make it for you guys right now
oh it is dense
this is their signature dessert but they've got lots of other desserts
all made by another cousin. what farm to table. okay the mint we saw outside awesome
no no no no no tortoise. chocolatey delicious I didn't think we can focus on that oh wow
if you like chocolate. yeah yeah yeah. check this you can get mints. I kid you not that is how
popular the lamb is. remember when it was all the way up there and twice the size. lamb is popular
so it's not only about the great food which is fantastic let me tell you you saw me enjoying
all of that but there's actually a deeper story to this and we'll hear a little bit about it
all right so there's a three guys the three buddies which is uh getting a bit famous right now
it's very famous it's not on purpose so myself is Zabeer, there's Ajmal the elder cousin and
Tahir the little one. so one thing we have in common we love food and then who doesn't
love food but you guys particularly love it if that's what you're serving yeah so we love it
so much we wanted to have like a big kitchen and we could serve good food to everyone right
especially healthy food i don't know I told Bryan it was healthy and he's like no way, this is healthy
can't possibly be healthy. so this was the biggest challenge is to make a fast food that is healthy
the the idea was to really to focus into the volume so the thing is everybody is going through
the crisis right now. right uh the main idea behind was we wanted to get give the opportunity again
to the Mauritian people to the guests we have in Mauritius so we can enjoy birthday parties. so we
can enjoy it go out with friends to eat good food in a nice place which is very affordable
so i think we really need this uh goal that we set up and yeah we could not be more than happy
from what we've seen so far this is a huge success. thank you. but I'm just I'm just thinking of one
little problem on the first of October yeah when the foreigners start coming you're gonna need to
move those cars and put chairs out there. uh maybe the rooftop. the roof. perfect so that's this is
on the pipeline. congratulations. thank you. Three guys with a dream. I think your dreams have come true I really do I really do
you're probably wondering what 400 tires are doing at The Food Factory
a fast food restaurant experience. experience it is an experience guys but tires
i have no idea but it's part of an upcycling program that they're going to do this weekend
well this weekend is sometime in September early September like the 10th or something so they've
probably done it and you get to i don't know sit on these awesome chairs or whatever up cycling it
is yeah i can't wait to see. well then we find out why these guys are more popular than Burger King
and really Burger King better watch out because these guys are really making it happening it is
fantastic what they're doing here. it's not just about fast food it's about a special experience
and what they're offering here is a special experience and you guys are
going to agree so anyway everyone thanks for watching and we'll see you next time
wow i don't know if you noticed but i actually feel really positive after that experience me too
it's like happiness i know it's like a weird warm feeling because the guys have just i mean they're
really making an effort and it just feels positive and i loved how the whole kitchen was open and
after each order they clean and it was snappy yeah and it was actually surprising how well it ran
and how efficient but that's up to the people that they chose and the staff was so happy and proud of
everything that they were doing and and the guys you can tell
that they're passing on their positivity onto everyone else in fact I think they
might put a little slip a little in the food because I'm sort of feeling that way yep
