The first time we had purchased from this outlet, the Butter beans bunny was the best we had ever tasted! Perfect in everyway! This was though over 6 months ago when we were in the area. We had high hopes this time nevertheless. We purchased 2 lamb and 1 chicken bunny - Durban styled curries. This was an utter disappointment. Taste is subjective but this was not a Durban styled curry. The base of the curry was more suited to their North Indian cuisine. The bunny size was larger than your regular quarter bunny but it was filled with gravy, few lamb (and chicken pieces) and one tiny watery potato in each of the 3 bunnies. Considering that the price of a bunny chow here is higher than most places of good quality food, it left a poor taste in the mouth...pun intended! I will give them another try based on our first wonderful experience. Management need to reconsider what they are serving. I see another review highlighting a similar, recent poor bunny experience.

My favourite Indian restaurant in Durban, although this evenings meal was very disappointing. Ordered a 1/4 mutton bunny chow which hardly contained any mutton (3 pieces total), was literally a 1/4 loaf with curry gravy and a piece of potato.

What a lovely restaurant!! Probably the best Indian cuisine in Durban. I regularly have either the chicken Korma or chicken Makani with garlic naan. It is absolutely delicious. Extremely well priced. Big portions. Mild option as well for those who are sensitive to spicy food.

I googled last night and found good ratings on this restaurant. Well, it was not what u can call a curry. it has an almost illuminous red colour tomato sauce and was sweet more than mild like we ordered. When we called to raise this, the lady said they must have put too much food coloring in. excuse my ignorance since when does one put food colouring in a curry and if so there should be a limit. She also said she would get Bala who is one of the partners to call back as hr was busy in the kitchen and until sat 11.15 no return call. The staff were friendly and helpful when i collected my order of 7 meals.

Most affordable and best curry in durban!! It was so good, we had takeaways last night and are back again tonight! Mild is devoid of spicy heat (but still tasty), medium is a good basic heat. Service was also well above standard! Highly recommend! #curry #durban #tastyaf #winningatcurry
