Welcome to The Saucy Saffa

where we're spicing up New Zealand, one taste bud at a time. Bored with the bland, we journeyed all the way to South Africa, returning with an armful of vibrant flavours that shook the Otago region awake. From the Flavour Lab's spices to Sedley's tantalising sauces, we've curated a collection of groceries that's as unique as it is delicious.

We're not just a South African shop - we're a community, a hub of laughter and shared stories. Our owner, Evan, with his wicked sense of humour, is always ready to welcome you home, whether you're South African or a Kiwi looking to explore new tastes. Braai essentials? We've got 'em. SA grocery must haves? On the shelf. A sprinkle of spice to jazz up your meals? Look no further.

Such a cool vibe inside the shop. I have met the owner and his wife a few times when travelling to Dunedin. Such groovy people. We now buy all of our South African goods here, We can shop online but I prefer to call and order over the phone, that way I get to talk quality kak with a quality oke. Highly recommend this place.

Such a fantastic little shop! My parents are locals and come here often, seeing as I was visiting from Australia they bought me in to get some Biltong :) So DELICIOUS, beautifully done with the best flavour! The store owner is lovely and really made me feel welcome, can’t wait to visit again.

The owner is my favorite dude, and the place is just amazing, try some flings!

First time visiting today & i can say i'll definitely be going back! The service was incredibly good & I've had alot of South African meat in my time but I've never had anything that comes close to being as good as theirs. I highly recommend trying!

We were in the Saucy Saffa on Friday and bought some pork sausage and biltong, as well as some chilly sticks. They were fantastic l recommend them all. Absolutely delicious. We definitely will be back
