The only street side food I eat is from the 2 pleasant gentlemen grilling chicken outside Al-Hamra. Their tandoori naan & hot chicken is marvelously good & unmatched. 20000/100 recommend.

Go in with an open mind. The waiters are very efficient and the food is really good. The aesthetic appeal of the place is authentic to the area and may not be considered 5 star. Be cognisant of cultural differences regarding service as the restaurant and most of the customers are foreigners. Go when relaxed and not rushing, have a good time

Ive bought food here many times over the years. The chicken tikka is delicious and cooked perfectly over the fire. I only do takeaways as I dont particularly like the location and surrounding areas.

Abrupt and rude staff, food was not that great either. We bought lamb curry take away only to discover we paid R120 for literally 4 pieces on meat with a lot of gravy. Not worth the drive.Would NOT recommend this place

The food is good and the value is great. I tried samoozas from Wynberg and I would drive to al-hamra thats how much better their samoozas taste and are in value.The food is also great tasting and value.My personal favourites are:Lamb khorma (theres a no bones option)Butter chickenMutton curryRogni naanGarlic naanThe steamed basmatiI always take the mild, but my friend the vegetarian that swears by hot food, thoroughly swore by the hot aloo palak.

Love the food! Great, value for money. Since the renovation, its much cleaner and comfortable.When its busy service is slow. For big groups you have to sit upstairs where there is no service, only order and bring your food. If you need something, you need to go downstairs.
