The best indian authentic curries.....we loved it. For those who posted negetive comments obviously isnt indian. The mutton bunny was the best of all....this is genuine durban food. Highly recommend this place to everyone who still is sceptical....you wont regret eating here.
The best food and service. Whatever Indian food you wished for, you can get it at this restaurant. Great ambience and Sunday lunch buffet was a special treat for our family of 6 adults. The restaurant was busy but this did not affect service. Loved the creative table cloth. Had menu items written on it in an artistic, colorful way. I highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Durban Indian food.
well easy to find, decor is of homely nature with nothing over the top. friendly staff ,simple stocked bar but the focus is definitly the food. bunny chow was out of this world , authentic indian style curry with varouis choices of meat or vegetarian option. will be back to try the others.. but the chicken and mutton gets my thumbs up
Very happy with the quality of the food and rather impressed with the value for money for both food and beverages. The Christmas lunch was excellent value for money. There was a great variety of dishes to choose from and we discovered an excellent Indian dessert "Soji" on the day. I have never been disappointed at any of my visits and have started to take friends and clients to the venue. I highly recommend the restuarant.
The best curries in Cape town only the second place I found real Durban style curries the taste and the look .My second visit ..me being in the food business ..I will recommend people to go there. And if anyone looking for curries in the southern hemisphere. Try Savitris Indian Cruizine.
My wife and I had a fantastic time last night. The food was delicious! The waiter advised us to go for the Mutton Curry. Only down side is that it comes with only one roti.
The best place for a curry.. Better than any place in cape Town. The service was excellent
I've eaten from them twice now and I absolutely love it. It is the best indian food in the western cape.. My only wish is that there was a milder option for those who don't like very hot foods. I think that will broaden your clientele. Thanks a lot for the lovely food...
It was Absolutely amazing the curry was Devine will definitely be back for Sunday lunch and would recommend you to all of my family and friends .
I always go to Goundens and Recwntly Hollywood Bet in Durban if I want a good mutton bunny. I would rate The Burner on par or better than those toe. Best thing is, it is in Cape Town. Nice portions, well presented and nicely priced with the authentic Durban Mutton bunny taste!! Happy customer
Special thank you - to the team at the BURNER.
We would highly recommend ths establisment for anyone looking to successfully host a Party.
INDIAN cuisine at its best.
Brilliant work....keep it up.
Never been disappointed yet.
Licking my fingers while typing this message.
Bunny chow was the best. Definately go back there to order again.
Awesome food, great service, friendly staff & fantastic atmosphere for watching sport/going out for dinner/ or even just relaxing & taking the day off. I have not tasted better Indian cuisine elsewhere, definitely recommended!
Love this place! Authentic Durban Curry away from home :)
Excellent food at affordable prices. Will recommend to anyone.
Good food for a damn good price. Will definitely be back.
I would recommend the menu of the burner anytime. The food is divine, and though all the staff not always trained as we clients would like it to be we ought to be a bit more patient and tolerant. Yes sure we pay, but we are also humans who share a simple thing in common called "understanding". GOOD FOOD TAKES TIME, and so does training I to which a lot of money is pumped.
Five stars for The Burner, Bellville deserves a top class restaurant since we no longer have Quick Foods.
I love the curry it is amazing & seriously Durban style cuisine. The roti & curry just great. Still need to try the B Chow soon!
awesome Food. So happy we finally found a place for bunnies and Soji.

Loved your broad beans bunny�
A variety of great tasting food
Always a great meal rendered by The Burner! Now resorted to buying their curries for the freezer so that I can get a fix whenever needed
The mutton bunny chows are amazing. The staff here is always friendly and they are very efficient. Went there last week and will be going again tonight. Their food is always fresh.
Best Durban curry in Cape Town. We've tried the other 'best' places and they don't match up to the Burner. They have an awesome Saturday special every Saturday, today there was Cornish chicken and gadra beans... Happy eating!
I ordered a takeaway mutton breyani which was very tasty with it's lovely eastern spices. A really good meal which was value for money. However the staff could at least be more friendly and welcoming. It was as if they were doing me a favour. Being a Monday evening they were probably annoyed after a tiring month end!!! I would rate them 5 if they could get rid of that dour look.
We kept it local this evening.
I've had Burner as a takeaway before, but tonight was the first time that I had a sit down meal. the staff were friendly.
I ordered a boneless mutton bunny. it was spicy, the meat was soft and the bread was fresh.
I'll definitely be back

This is a delayed post - we had supper here last Friday. Let's start with the not so good things:
1. The location: it's in a dodgy looking, industrial area. Parking is available with a security guard.
2. The atmosphere: think a late night bar type. Quite dark inside and loud TV screens. Despite this, we decided to sit down (a mistake that won't be repeated). So these two reasons is why it gets a 4/5.
The food itself was definitely a 5 for me. So close to Durban style food. I started with mince samoosas while waiting for the rest of our family. A little pricey (R19 for 3 medium sized ones) but very yummy. Had enough filling and the pastry was flaky. For the mains, we each ordered separately but shared - there was mutton bunny, mutton breyani, mutton curry, mince kebabs and sugar beans bunny. Unfortunately, you cannot choose the spicy level of your curry. My brother (who normally eats really hot food) struggled a bit with the hotness of his bunny but still declared it the best mutton bunny he's had. The breyani and mutton curry were similarly appraised. My mince kebabs were more moderate than hot (how I prefer it) and came with 5 kebabs and one roti. Was very delicious. I finished all 5 kebabs in record time. The sugar beans bunny was also moderately spicy and came with a huge potato and lots of gravy.
We had soji to end with - buttery and soft, reminded me of Indian weddings.
Service was good and attentive.
If you're craving Durban style food, this is the place to go but get a takeaway and enjoy at home 😊
Whilst heading to Food Inn for supper I decided to give The Burner a try instead. I ordered 2 lamb rotis/salomis and I also ordered a lamb breyani.
All 3 dishes tasted really good. It was quite spicy, a bit too spicy for my wife and daughter but just the right amount for me. I expected the breyani portion to be slightly bigger (compares to Food Inn and Eastern Bazaar) but what they lack in portion size they make up in quality.
I really enjoyed the roti... It was delicious and I like that they use deboned lamb. I also really liked the Dahl they gave... Could eat it as a meal on is own. I will definitely return and I want to try the bunny chow.
First time my colleagues and I ordered from The Burner and it was worth every cent.The Bunny Chow was out of this world.Definitely going back and recommending it to all.
This is truly a hidden GEM! The Bunny chows are amazing. Very good consistency - I have never had a bad meal. The portion sizes are VERY generous for a reasonable price! The only downside would be the location.
Was told to go chow the beans bunny there. Ekse, I aksed for extra chillie and that thing was piping hot! Won't vy anywhere else next time I pull into the Mother's City. Thanks owes, the service was marvellous! You're the real OGs. Regards, your customer that flew in from Durban the other week.
I've been there several times, and have convinced employees from my work to join me on occasion; food is always good and at a fraction of the price of other "Indian restaurants" (which normally have smaller portions of food that doesn't taste great anyway). Definitely recommended.
The food is pretty decent, in fact it's pretty good. The location and decor let the venue down but also makes it a diamond in the rough. I will certainly be returning and it's good value for money.
Pretty decent chow. Only been once but would return. Don't let the decor and building put you off. The service is good and so are the prices.
OK OK Burner... Burner oh Burner. When you have a craving for let's say briyani and a "lekker" mutton curry I drive from southern suburbs to Burner... Toe-tally worth it believe me curries are legit and the bunny chows ... How do we say it in the Cape... Jho! They are the real deal keep it up.
Bellville South's hidden gem! Went for Sunday buffet lunch with friends, and the food was mostly excellent! The mac and cheese was dry, tho. And the 'roast' (chicken and meat) was not great. But their curries (fish, lamb and chicken) was amazing, and their breyani was equally great! Service was very good, as well. Friendly staff. Definitely worth the effort
The burner is a life saver when it comes to a great authentic Indian curry. A point of note . . . Its not called the burner for nothing lol. Friendly staff, good ambience and tasty food!
Best curries in Cape Town ! The bunnychows are amazing and all the portions are extremely generous. The service is welcoming and the vibe is great, especially on Fridays during lunch!!
Being a Durbanite living in Cape Town I struggled to find good Durban curries...that is until I visited The Burner. The location is not the best and I have to admit I second guessed making a booking here. When you walk its a nice, neat and quaint restaurant setting that is spotless. Absolutely neat and clean.
The Lamb Bunny Chow has to be my favorite meal on the menu, the Lamb Biryani comes in second for me. Soji is the best I have had, once that you would find a traditional Indian wedding.
The staff is very accommodating and friendly
Craving authentic Durban style curries in Cape Town, The Burner is definitely the right option.
I went there on Sunday for the buffet with a couple of friends, all of which are from Durban. Everyone of us loved the food. I tried the chicken curry then the lamb curry with rice and carrot salad. For dessert I had the soji which was perfect.
The buffet is R99 per person and you can eat as much as you can. I thought this is great value for money as the buffet includes lamb, chicken and fish curry, variety of salads, lamb and vegetable breyani as well as roast chicken and pasta and a few other options.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The only downfall to The Burner is its location, as it's not in an ideal location.
I am a Durbanite..and this is the only resturant I've come across in the past 5 years of being in CT...that you can find a "proper" Durban Mutton Curry Bunny Chow..
Now this is a place if you are wanting to eat some strong Indian food. Clean, neat and tidy place. Sit down or take away this is the place. Bought a mutton salomie and oh my word was it hot. My lips had a nice buzz while eating it. Now this is money well spent. Will definitely be going to buy another.
So on my second time going to the burner i ordered the usual quarter mutton bunny with chicken spring rolls,and man i am in impressed by the high standards and variety of foods at the burner.I will be back again definitely a hidden gem. This is honestly what the northen suburbs has been lacking.
Best food and a surprising gem where you would never expect! Wish this place was in CBD best taste and value for money. Will be back again :)
Best tasting South Indian curries
Real taste of durban curry
Value for money
Quality food
Great ambience
Excellent service
Great curry buffet on Sundays
The Food is absolutely delicious. If you looking for an authentic Durban Bunny Chow or Curry then The Burner is you stop. I've had the Lamb Curry Bunny Chow there a few times and always a great experience.
Bunny chow best in the country. According to the kids its not a bunny chow, its volcano bread😂
Good people of South Africa and beyond, the Bunny Chow from The Burner in Bellville South is a must try, i cant stress enough how tasty and nice it is. I tried a bunny in Durban, as this is the origin of the Bunny Chow, but at the Burner eish the best. Please if u or any other person this is a must try
Authentic Durban Cuisine. Its based in a pub like bar. Dimly lit with Indian decor. I ordered take out. The curries are usually very nice but always very oily. I highly recommend their soji. Its disappointing they only have their butternut curry during the fast
The best indian food in South Africa and I am from Durban! Nothing is more authentic indian food than this. Proper indian curries and dishes. Affordable and no compromise on quality. Big portions too. Make sure you get a Soji or Vermicilli take away! My advice... Mutton Bunny Chow. Butter chicken not so good. The rest brilliant.
We enjoyed their samosas and lamb bunny chow! Great presentation and taste.
This is the best Indian restaurant that we have eaten at in Cape Town so far.
It was recommended on the popular group Appetite on Facebook and it did not disappoint.
The owner is kind and friendly.
The food is filled with flavour (Durban Style)
The waiters are fairly friendly and the atmosphere is casual.
Its hard to get real Durban Style food in Cape Town but THE BURNER does provide just that.
The Wedding style soji is a must.
My family and I will return without a doubt.
Serve a Bunny Chow!!!
I've never had a bunny chow, and this place definitely set the mood for more. It was tasty, well presented and had the Durban flavour - that's from a friend 😅.
Worth a checkout. Big ups guys 💯
Best Lamb bunny! A really authentic durban curry. And the Soji is the best! My go to order when I miss home as a student in cpt.
Mainly do pick ups but everything is great, my favorites, the lamb curry and the potato paratha
Food was delicious. Service was great. Soji was the best.
Update : 2 years have past, been ordering from here atleast once a month and still has fantastic food. From the packaging to the quality of the food itself. From the outside , the place looks like somewhere you go to die : ) , but inside its got this classic hotel dinner/ bar vibe. Service was great, friendly staff . Will be back !
Best place to have ur Curry Craving Fix when u are travelling !!! not disappointed!!! A yummy Mutton Bunny Chow !!!!
This establishment serves a very nice curry. It is not too strong and spicy just very nice. One of the friends had a bunny chow whereas the other and I had a lovely lamb curry.
The service is good though not spectacular and you are able to order wine, spirits and beer.
Do yourself a favour and try them out.
Please like review if you found it helpful.
Awesome food. Friendly staff from the time you enter till you leave. Freshness and quality of food. Keep it up. Don't mind traveling from wellington for such dreat food.
