Very delicious chip cheese and mutton gravy roti Generous filling. Decent value for money Variety of fresh curries and other dishes available. I saw snack platters being bought out for collection for a local office. Small seated area with 3 tables available to sit down & eat Staff friendly and helpful :) Definitely worth a try :)

Great small little eatery in a mini business park, located in the industrial area of New Germany/Pinetown. Good menu that offers curries, sandwiches, burgers, etc. Great for a quick bite. Can get busy. Parking may be tight if it's a busy time. Good food, good service from staff. Value for money beans bunny, and it tastes good!

Both mutton bunny and mutton roti had so much meat and the meat was nice and tender. I really enjoyed the flavors too.
