For those who know karinichas in Durban and want a tasty chip roll. I highly recommend this pla e. The prego chip roll is well worth it. Truly tasty and very saucy.
We have been going to Chippies since before I can remember. They form a big part of my childhood memories, and now, when I am hungover on a Saturday, they are still my go-to! Their authentic Portuguese flavours are simply mouth-watering, and I could eat their Prego sauce with anything! I would recommend their Prego rolls, chicken livers, and lemon & herb chicken dishes. Or, you can just eat their chips with a yummy sauce.
Was in the area and decided to visit this little takeaway for the first time in years. When I was in high school, this was our favourite after-school hangout and, feeling nostalgic, I went back to buy what I'd always buy back then - a chiproll with extra prego sauce (R25 for the chiproll, R5 for the sauce).
It was served quickly but admittedly the prego sauce was a little different from what I remembered. Although I love garlic, there were large chunks in the sauce which can become quite overwhelming after a while. The chiproll itself was delicious though (probably the best chips in the area) and their portion sizes definitely haven't decreased over the years.
There's quite a bit of parking and, because it's mainly takeaway, the food is served quickly. There aren't many tables for sit-down as it's quite a small shop. No fuss and no frills. I'll be back but I'll probably try one of their other sauces next time.

What an awesome little hidden gem! Apparently its been here for years but I thank Zomato for this discovery. I was in the Rondebosch area a week ago in a Tuesday and was ravished! They have a Tuesday special where you get 2x Pieces of Hake or a portion of calamari with their famous chips. Wow!!! I almost finished the lot! I took the rest to the office for my colleagues to try. I would definitely be back for their other daily specials. A must visit!
Want authentic Portuguese prego?
Can you handle the heat?
Love copious amounts of fresh garlic?
Yes? Yes? Yes?
Then this place is the answer to your prayers.
Magnificently moist and tender steak marinated in prego sauce then slathered with some more on the grill. Fresh fries crisped to perfection and drizzled in salt & vinegar. Yummo
Wednesday special is 2 prego steak rolls with chips for R120. Great value.
Highly recommend their chicken too.

I really enjoy the chicken kebab with chips. Always well cooked the chicken tastes excellent and the chips are really good. Great for a takeout meal
This tucked away takeaway in the heart of Rondebosch is an excellent option when feeling too lazy to cook. Very friendly staff, good specials and the best chips in the area.
The ultimate cheat meal - Usually have chippies as a take away but last night we decided to sit in. Best idea ever - the Prego rolls tasted better because usually the sauce gets messy/oily with traveling which ruins the bun. They also have a great selection of salads. I had the potato salad it was creamy and delicious! Will definitely be back 😀
Awesome food, always good quality. Salads divine. Buy some of their sauces, prego sauce with chips Chicken kebab and chips a MUST. The best.
Always had a good experience at Chippies. As far as fast-food/take-away places go. Chippirs is great. Consistently good quality. I enjoy all their food, though occasionally in their generosity, their prego sauce with the chips can be a bit over-whelming.

I've been a fan of the Chippies brand for decades now. As a student I used to look forward to my Prego steak or chicken roll which rolled by (pun intended) every Thursday or Friday with military precision. It was on my Prego roll that I started valuing the awesome powers of garlic. Years later, as part of my travels to the east, I also encountered the big fat garlic slices (or massive whole ones) as a normal part of one's diet. As a child my mother used to use a mortar and pestle to help create an aromatic garlic and ginger paste which soon disappeared into the wholesome tastes of homemade curries with basmati rice and childhood. Of course things change and that familiar welcome is no longer possible. I used to look forward to my weekly catch-up with "Mr Chippies". "How's school, the family is fine. So and so passed away. You're looking pale, you must take care of yourself, I need to change the light bulb today" and so on. Wonderful memories and at my age I tend to live with memories as much as the present. They don't accept cash and the young man at the till was very adamant that cash is outdated. Luckily I brought my purse along so had that lifesaving plastic 🙃 😅; otherwise my trip to Rondebosch might've been quite in vain. They offer snapscan, QR code thingimagigi and more, confirming that we are indeed living in the 21st century. But back to the Prego rolls and chips. Yes, it definitely reminded me of the previous century's rolls with subtle variations which I guess should be expected. The garlic slices are not as abundant as I remember it, but one can purchase some more Prego sauce 😋. Fabrica Do Prego is fast becoming one of my regular weekly visits - with my own family in tow. Must be in the genes.
Honestly one of the best prego steak rolls I have ever had! Chips were double fried and delicious as always.
They also doing a cool 2 for 1 special on their incredible new sauces!!!
Well done Fabrico, keep up the good work 👊
My favourite new find!! I can see many tasty, tender prego rolls in my future 🤤 the staff were friendly and on point and I was able to call ahead so could just walk in, pay and grab my food! I highly advise trying this restaurant 💯
