Mabu Mabu are bringing Indigenous food and culture back to life by incorporating native ingredients into their delicious menu. Enjoy a bite onsite and stock up on their delectable Kara Meta pantry items to take home.

Mabu Mabu is a saying in the Torres Strait that means ‘help yourself.’ It’s what you say to kick off a feast with your friends and family.

Torres Strait food culture is all about sharing, and this experience is fundamental to Mabu Mabu’s business.

Their range of handmade small-batch pantry items is titled 'Kara Meta'. In the language of the Meriam people of Mer Island in the Torres Strait, this means 'my home'.

Mabu Mabu are a proud 100% indigenous owned, women-led and LGBTQIA+ business, working towards a sustainable and socially driven supply chain. Where possible, they source from First Nations, queer-led, women-led, and environmentally conscious producers who align with their ethos.
