We came across this restaurant by accident in Cape Town . We were craving for Gujarati food . The Resturant was serving only Panjabi food . The owner told that we can accommodate. They made khichdi , kadhi, sev tomato sak, Brinjal and Potato sak . The food was out of this world . Owner , Rohitji , Chef Brijesh & Vandna Patel went out of their way and made us a very delicious food . I recommend every Gujarati person who visits Cape Town - check them out .

The best Indian food in the mother city, I was stunned to have such brilliant food outside India, the food is just Fab, the location is amazing, the staff so loving and of course our Lawrence Bhai is the best, the place has something to offer for everybody. I am out of words to describe this place and really thankful that such a place exists in Cape Town for vegetarians like me otherwise I would remain hungry for most of my stay. Truly truly the best food that you will get and don't forget the customer service is even better than the food. They treat you like their own. Thank you for this touching experience and of course the delicious food.

I ordered a medium butter chicken with a garlic naan through Mr D. The food arrived promptly but the butter chicken was mild, which was disappointing but it did taste amazing and the naan was great to.

Yes please! Hidden Gem in the heart of Sea Point.

I could eat here everyday.

Compliments to the fantastic chefs!

Nice and cozy, great for every occasion.

Simply irresistible, we do not go to Sea Point without going to Ninety One!

I usually have the Palak Paneer (without the cream) hot, and if you can handle it, xxx hot available on request. At own risk.

Tandoori platter excellent for sharing.

They make sublime vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.

Banting friendly.

Bf and Parents equally impressed.

Wholesome fresly prepared Authentic Indian Cuisine at it's best.

Thank you to the Owner and Staff of this wonderful establishment.

A bit of Bollywood music please guys!

Curry on being fabulous.

Best butter chicken curry in Cape Town BY FAR!!!!!! Goes amazingly well with the butter naan and onion rice. 

I have no idea about the rest of the menu cause there is no point ordering anything else.

We ordered take-aways last night (through uber eats) At first, we received the wrong order but we called Ninety One and they rectified it immediately. We got the butter chicken, 2 plain naans and 1 aloo paratha - it was all so delicious! After the initial change from Kushi to Ninety One (quite long ago now), we weren't impressed just because there was no deliciousness anymore. However, Ninety One has redeemed itself and this will be our regular spot for our curry fix once more.

Ninety One is a new Indian restaurant and I wish them success. On arrival we were welcomed by the Manager who was hands on the whole evening without being obsequious. He noticed when our glass of ice was empty and immediately asked if we wanted it topped up. The waiters were all friendly and helpful. The menu is very comprehensive with loads of vegetarian options. You can choose how strong you want your curry. I ordered medium which was very tasty and full of flavour with a slight bite. We had a slight wait for our meal as there were a lot of take away orders but we never felt neglected. I will definitely be back.

I went to this restaurant after seeing so many positive reviews. Coming to the fact, if you are looking for a good ambience and cosy well setup Indian restaurant then this is not for you. This restaurant has basic cafe kind of seating set up with less privacy. When it's crowded, you feel like you are in a coffee shop. By the time we went at the night, it's not too busy. The taste and quantity of the food is adequate. But I can see they are adding lots of food color into the dishes which is a bit not happy. Service guy was saying that's their style if making food. But that is not natural. Food color should come as natural. Not the green curries too green and red curries too red. And the drinks options are very less. We hardly got J&D whiskey. No premium whiskies available. Ambience - Average Service - Average Food - Quality is good except the food color's, Quantity is adequate and Taste is good as well Pricing - Very much affordable Worth visiting for nice food for affordable prices. Suggestions: Please minimise the food color. You guys may be using it for presentation, but natural color's are always good.

I came here for lunch one day when I was craving some Indian food and I - for the most part - enjoyed my meal. The service was a bit slower, but that didn't bother me at all because I was in no rush. I ordered the Samosas to start and they were ok. It tasted like there wasn't that much filling in them and they were kind of small - they were ok, but kind of disappointing. Everything else I had tasted great though. I had the Chicken Vindaloo with a side of Basmati Rice, Aloo Paratha, and Garlic Naan. The curry was wonderfully spicy and had so much flavor and the rice was cooked just right. The garlic naan tasted really good and I really enjoyed the paratha, it had the right consistency if that makes sense (it wasn't too thick or too thin with the potato filling). I really enjoyed my meal and enjoyed sitting outside and taking my time.

best Indian restaurant I’ve been to in Cape Town. Had the palak paneer and it was flavorful and spicy to my desire (for all the spicy peeps). The butter chicken was also really good and they served big portions. like Indian food? This is the one to try out

Probably the best Indian food I've ever had. So many vegan options. Everything was flavored well and the portions were big. Good service!

Spectacular Indian food: the butter chicken was prepared with care; you could taste the smokiness from the tandoor. Ingredients were all fresh and made to order: the mushrooms in the mushroom basmati were fresh, the garlic naan was thin and textured. The value is incredible. However, the owner needs to invest better in his business. The patio is exposed and needs hedges like the other businesses beside them. The employees also need to be treated better: they seemed burnt out and unempowered. The manager couldn't even trust them with the wi-fi password to provide to diners? The interior is dark and unwelcoming and needs better lighting. The food is worth the detour but it'd be a shame if the best way to enjoy it is through food delivery.

We waited really long as one of us is vegan and it says explicitly in the menu that vegan food takes about 1h longer- but the waitress was very friendly and kept us lauging. Food was really good and big portion but not exceptional thus 4/5 stars

Came in for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. Probably the best Indian food I have eaten in Cape Town since visiting. The staff were very pleasant and the young lady who was the chef was amazing. She came over to our table and greeted us with a warm welcome. She explained the food she had cooked for us, which was sooo delicious and made us feel at home. Her cooking was amazing. Overall very nice experience coming to this restaurant and would definitely recommend. Thank You 91 Restaurant

Food was really delicious with good portion sizes, well worth a visit if you’re in the area. We had the palak paneer and the Dhal makhni (both vegetarian dishes) together with Garlic and Roghni naan. We also received a complimentary starter of veg (potato) samoosa (due to a special running at the time) - these were so light, crispy and worth trying! All the food was delicious - however special mention of the palak paneer dish. Also note we ordered everything in medium (from heat perspective which hit the spot - I suspect the hot will probably be hot) Parking in seapoint can be tricky - so it’s worth planning ahead for that. The restaurant is neat and clean, and the waitresses are pleasant - overall good experience and definitely coming back.
