Though you'll be surrounded by the big screens of Hollywood Bets broadcasting live horse races and games, don't be put off. The air-conditioned restaurant, with a large covered deck and dedicated Bunny Bar for take-out, serves up some of the best bunny chow in Durban. The mutton curry is hell-fire hot and the broad beans (try to get it before noon) bunnies are legendary. Prepare to wait for a table, but you won't have to for long.
The tables are somewhat grimy and the red interior is unattractive, yet the clientele here remains loyal. You can get a wide range of curries and "exotic" bunnies, with curry fillings like tripe, trotters, and the more regular sugar beans, mutton, and chicken curries. The takeaway section often has a wait-time of 30 minutes or more, so it might be worth your while to book a table instead.
Founded in 1912, this place has built a family legacy of good traditional Indian food. Serving only vegetarian dishes in the form of curries, the restaurant is run by Mr Manilal Patel, now in his late 70s, who lives in the apartment above the shop, and gets up around 2 am each day to start the day's prep. The first customers arrive around 6 am. Food here is cheap, quick, and ever-popular.
