Absolutely the best food! From savoury to sweet. It is our family treat to buy and just share all the flavours. My best is the Chicken Korma. Highly recommend Holi Cow!
Lovely couple... I have ordered my Mutton Curry for Tuesday and My Chicken For Friday.....I will post and let all know.... The smell and atmosphere is to die for... They also have a gift shop... For those looking for a special gift
I have the curry crab at least twice a month, it is so delish, it is with out a doubt the best I've tasted ever. Fresh, spicy, served with rice and roti.
This is indeed the best restaurant I've been to in Johannesburg. The service, the food and the hospitality by the Owner is the best in town. Thank you Yudhika for always making us feel welcome at your restaurant... Consistent and continuously improving.

I visited Holi Cow 4 months ago when I visited SA , and it was a definite go to on my list. Although I didn't taste the food(yet), I specifically went here to order a cake for a joint party for my niece and I.
I had a few requests and the Owner graciously accepted and communicated with me constantly (from SA to Japan mind you!)
For anyone who hasn't tried their bhurfee cake, its an absolute stunner! They created a gorgeous cake for me that was very fitting of the theme. I loved the final touches and bursts of colour. I don't have a picture on me but Ill post one up later on.
I cant wait to try the food and other sweet treats.
The shop is beautiful too with many things to catch the eye. You can buy other frozen items and also kitchenware. This store has a rustic India feel with a splash of striking modern features eg. the black and white floor tiles against the weathered carved Indian door frame.
The owner is a lovely lady who is always friendly and polite. i plan on popping by again when I visit SA.
We tried a veg dish from Holi cow a few years ago and weren’t very happy.. a few months ago we heard about them again and decided to give it a second chance. We ordered the prawn curry and Durban lamb curry, both dishes were perfect, even better than home cooked! The roti was light and went very well with both dishes. The sweets offering was also pretty great, especially the belgican tarts and snowballs. Well done to Yudhika & her team.
Our first visit to Holi Cow was to attend one of Yudhika's cooking classes: "I love Curry". We were welcomed with the most delicious Samoosas (potato as well as chicken), they have no liquor licence, but you can bring your own wine. The class itself was a heaps of fun and very informative! We were thereafter spoiled with our own creations and some fresh roti and a delectable chocolate cake. Loved all her pickles and sauces as well as her spice range (which all came home with me!).
She is open for take-aways most days and always have some beautiful sweets. Something to add to your bucket list for sure!
So everyone has been going on about the "Burfee Cake" and last Friday I had one for my Birthday. To my amazement, I was totally impressed. Soft sponge and the cake tasted great. It was not overly sweet and the macaroons were the highlight :) Enjoyed her mielie cakes over the past couple of weekends as well as the fresh cream donuts. My hubby's favorite is the snowballs which are simply divine. To my disappointment I had the soji (which is over priced for the quantity you are getting) and the crab curry(another over priced dish). Curry lacked salt and flavor. Our home made crab curry tastes much better. Bought the pickles and they are not too bad. Will visit again for the snowballs and cakes for sure.
Finally got to taste the infamous burfi cake. For a celebratory event an order of curries, briyani, dhal, naan and cakes were made. A special request of no tomatoes on the chicken briyani and lamb curry was accomadated and these were both delicious. The butter chicken was average. Portion sizes for 15-20 was more than adequate. The cakes, 3 tiers, a turkish delight, burfi and chocolate hazelnut were all equally delicious and nicely decorated, soft sponges with decadent icing and toppings. Definitely worth it on catering for multiple people. We'll be using them again.
Excellent food with attention to detail. Food cooked to perfection. Authentic Indian dishes. Owner treats customers like her family and is amazing at building relationships. We usually buy take outs but have sat at the restaurant a few times. Her milk tart and donuts are just the best ... made to perfection. And our all time favorite is her burfee cakes! It’s a must!
Heard of this Deli through a friend staying in Joburg, so it was definitely a must have upon visit! The Deli is a very cute and quaint place, a reflection of the passion and artistry that goes into the business.
We ordered the ferero rocher and the burfee cake. And to describe my experience in three words, I would say- rich, delicious aesthetic. The cake was decorated phenomenally.
However, we felt as if the chocolate cake was very dry. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the chocolate explosion from each bite.
Personally, the macaroons placed on the top of the cake was the highlight of my experience, it was incredibly delicious, and would/could eat it at anytime/ any day.
Food was most delish, highly recommended. Curries are authentic well spiced and full of flavor. The best Indian food in JHB. Will be going back next week.
Been here for the cooking classes. Been here for the Madame Curry evenings. And I will keep coming back because the food is so amazing.
And at least once a month I stop here to pick up the most buttery, filled unique curried pies (think lamb vindaloo and butter chicken pies) and the tastiest biscuits. A hidden gem in the heart of Fourways.

A Culinary Journey to Authentic Indian Flavors
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Yudhika & Company, and I must say, it was an extraordinary culinary experience that transported me straight to the heart of India. This restaurant offers an ambiance that perfectly complements its exceptional cuisine.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the use of an open woodfire, which lent an unmistakable authenticity to every dish. The aromas of spices and roasted masalas wafting through the air set the stage for a memorable gastronomic adventure.
The menu boasts a wide array of mouthwatering options, each prepared with a dedication to preserving the true essence of Indian flavors. From the moment the first bite touched my palate, I knew I was in for a treat. The curries, a hallmark of Indian cuisine, were masterfully executed. The depth of flavors and the perfect balance of spices in each curry showcased the chef's expertise and passion.
The rotis, baked to perfection, were the ideal accompaniment to the rich curries. Soft and flavorful, they provided a delightful contrast to the robustness of the main dishes. Additionally, the selection of cakes and sweetmeats was nothing short of delightful. These desserts served as a sweet symphony to conclude the savory journey.
On this occasion, I opted for the crayfish curry paired with fragrant Basmati rice and soft roti. The marriage of fresh seafood with the richness of the curry was a revelation. The tender crayfish absorbed the flavors of the sauce, creating a harmonious blend of taste and texture. The Basmati rice, with its long grains and delicate aroma, was the perfect canvas for the robust curry, and the soft roti added a comforting element to the dish.
I cannot recommend Yudhika & Company enough. It is a culinary haven for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. Whether it's a special occasion or simply a desire for genuine Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a true gem. I am already looking forward to my next visit, eager to explore more of their tantalizing offerings.
In conclusion, if you are a connoisseur of authentic Indian flavors prepared with utmost care and love, Yudhika & Company is a must-visit. Prepare yourself to embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing and your heart content.
Yudhika is my go-to for curry’s , sweet and savoury goodies as well as special occasions. Oh … and the essential ginger/garlic and spices.
Every year she does a special order of sweetmeats for me and caters for some on my kids fussy needs.
She makes the most amazing cakes … this time I had one arranged for my brothers birthday and it was amazing 🤩
This is not a restaurant. It is a bakery with take away curries. The Food was amazing. Durban curry style for all you durbanites missing a taste of home. Trotters curry 8/10
Chops chutney 9/10 Cornish curry 7/10 . Will be back for more.

Certainly different and also seemingly super popular!
I honestly don’t know where to begin but I should start off by saying that by their food is definitely freshly made and is quite tasty.
The staff are efficient and friendly which is quite impressive considering the chaotic mess that I had witnessed.
You cannot sit and dine in this establishment. It seems as though you have to order in advance but I can’t say how that works because I haven’t seen a menu. Maybe they have different dishes everyday or it’s a set thing, I can’t really say.
They did manage to assist us even though we didn’t order in advance so for future reference I’ll definitely do so because it would have been horrendous if we had driven for 1 hour and 30 minutes to find that they had nothing to sell.
Pastries are amazing, they taste just as good as they look. We had the lamb curry but for myself personally it was leaning towards more of a stew than a curry in terms of flavour/spice.
Uhm, I can’t give a price indication either as I didn’t see the menu. We did get 1KG lamb biryani, 1KG Lamb curry with 8 rotis, 1/2KG Sri Lankan chicken, 4 snowballs, a donut and a steamed sweet thing for roughly R800 plus. So it seems reasonably priced.
Would definitely recommend but do order in advance.
All the fresh cream cakes are beyond delicious! I am a fussy fresh cream person and the cakes here are the best by far. None of the items have prices so you have to keep asking.
Ordered Lamb Breyani for 10 people. Amazing amazing food! The breyani was just perfect! The spice.. the flavour .. the amount of meat and potatoes. Def worth it. Def will go back for me.
Great place. Very unexpected. Awesome for take aways. Had the vegetarian bean curry with rotis and some sweet almond coconut filled dumplings.
Plenty of parking right in front of the door. Friendly staff. Nice garden.
Really good Durban style Indian food. Quick and efficient service. On the pricey side though
When it comes to quality old school Durban baked treats, this is as good as it gets. The best in JHB. Excellent value for money..
