Ordered a mutton with cream via Mr Delivery. Half the contents leaked into the packet. It was not the drivers fault as it was poorly packaged to begin with. I have ordered from many various Indian restaurants and they all wrap the containers with cling wrap so the contents do not spill out. What a waste of money.

My half bunny show was not value for money. Bread was stale with only 4pieces of lamb for R95?! Definitely not doing Cape To India Restaurant-Gatesville anytime soon... I mean ever again!

Bismillah Getsfell branch has become like an indian street food nowadays, full of smok in the restaurant like its kitchen and people feel surfocated no windows or door were open, customer service very poor and only they care what you order, but does not give any concern to the customers setsfiction.Bo-kaap branch is much better compering to getsfell one

Very small, clean, friendly, efficient restaurant and staff. They offer Bangladesh Cuisine. Food is very tasty and delicious if you like medium to strong food. Not for every pallett. In comparison with Other restaurants they offer Good Food at Cheap prices. I enjoy eating there.

Good service at this place. Food is tasty and the side salad is basic but together with the dip they serve with meals are an added plus. Decent prices for the amount of food you receive. I ordered the chicken chowmine and loved it!

Small restaurant tucked in hide away!To expect- Quick service- Wide variety ( non veg and veg)- Affordable prices- Complimentary raita and salad.Not to expect- Cleanliness- Feel good posh restaurant- Authentic Indian food.Overall affordable food with good taste. Being a vegetarian - I found the dishes I ordered were quite good.Service is very quick - expect your food in 10-15 minutes unlike other Indian restaurants in capetown.

Have you seen the ridiculous prices we have to pay for the tiniest portions ever. Its like paying R80 for R10 worth of butter chicken. And not like service is great. Waiters are just outright rude. If you really really have to eat from Bismillah or now known as Cape To India, then I definitely suggest trying out the bo-kaap one or if you must, the one on belgravia. But this gatesville branch is just sad. Now I remember why its been over a year since I last went there.

Bad service, bathroom does not look clean, food was okey. The servers had bad attitude, which could be because I am a female. It also has a political sign hung on the wall. A restaurant is a place where everyone could go and eat. It should be neutral place where race, religion and politics is concerned.

We visited on 8/12/19 one waiter was not up to standard he pushing us to buy so much orders was too much for us and not attending properly but he was very keen to get his tip our total bill was 420 and I was decided to give 450 with his poor service but he claimed I must give 461 instead of 450 and also he just given take away box not even properly helping us anyway it was a really bad experience

Very disappointing. Outside is dirty with garbage all over, there is a terrible garbage smell inside the premises. The place is full of flies, sitting on the plates and cutlery. The walls and ceiling have damp mouldy areas. We had a hair on one of our paperdoms. Will not eat there again because it looks like a health hazard.
