Leading the team at Arkaba, Head Chef Calvin Von Niebel was previously the Executive Chef and Group Development Chef for the Ottolenghi group of seven, much-loved dining destinations in Britain.

South African born, Calvin was classically trained in British gastropubs and top restaurants prior to joining the Ottolenghi group. Under the mentorship of Yotam Ottolenghi and team, Calvin’s style of cooking has found a unique voice that combines his South African heritage with his experience of living and cooking in Asia.

Originally from Durban, Calvin also credits his grandmothers for their influence in his cooking – his English granny for her recipes, preserves and jams, and his South African grandmother for her love of spicy food and curries.

Utilising the very best of fresh local South Australian produce, Calvin and the team at Arkaba have curated a unique menu that includes native Australian ingredients.
