I am told I am probably the greatest critic. Considering I never really eat Indian food out ( as mum's cooking is the best), this is great South Indian food, as close to a Durban home cooked meal as you can get, in a great setting - a vibe not unlike what you would experience sitting at a restaurant in Soho, London. Today I had the Fish Roe and Lamb curry and it was superb!
I had the Prawn curry and I can simply say that it was the best I’ve had in any Indian restaurant in SA. The Tarka Dhal is also close to to the best I’ve had in India.
This restaurant is highly recommended. The service was great and we didn’t have to wait long for our food
Great place to be!
I popped in on NYE, wasn't expecting much at 11pm, but I had the BEST service and GREAT food! I had the Kerala Roasted Chicken, it came with rice. It was absolutely delicious. When the clock hit midnight I was given a glass of champagne (I should of asked what it was cause I hate champagne and this was GOOD) it was welcoming. As a Black American women I had some less than friendly interactions in Cape Town, but Sundoo showed me love and it was the perfect ending to my holiday.
Food is really great! Tastiest Indian Food I have eaten in Cape Town. The service was fantastic and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Not like a normal Indian Restaurant. Cant wait to go back!! Try the Masala Chops
The service was quirky and they didn't have any of the cocktails on the menu or the crayfish and crab curry which we wanted BUT what we did have was AMAZING. The prawn was way too small in the prawn chilli bite but the taste was great. The lamb chops were so delicious and moreish and the prawn curry was very flavourful and not rich and heavy like other indian restairant. Will definitely be back when in CT again.
Finally tried this spot after a few of my friends had told be about it. Everything was great. The ambience was awesome, polite and professional looking staff, excellent food and it was sooooo affordable! You MUST try all the samoosas. They are literally the best I’ve ever had. So satisfying to go out and experience such.
The Husband and I had lunch here today. On arrival, we were eagerly greeted by the waiter Gonnie who’s an ex-Durbanite and chatted up a storm with my husband. We started with veg samoosas which were average until we added the special Sundoo sauce. That really upped the taste and enhanced the flavour. I had the lamb curry with rice which was delicious and tasted like traditional Durban style food. I ordered the medium and it was the perfect spice level for me. Only issue is the rice that comes with it is way too little for the amount of curry. The Husband had the mixed veg curry and enjoyed it. It is a small restaurant so make a reservation as it seems to fill up quite quickly. The vibe at lunch time was already great so I can imagine what it must be like for supper. We will visit again 😊
This place is amazing! Food is incredible! Service is fantastic! They ran out of two dishes we ordered and we didn’t need to re-order anything as the chef made us some custom dishes not on the menu and wow! They were even tastier than those on the menu!
Amazing food! We keep going back for the Kingklip curry and buttery paratha. The service is great too. If you can't decide to go on the seapoint strip, choose Sundoo! Highly recommend it!
Service was very good. Food was spicy and a MUST for anyone who enjoyed Indian cuisine! I paid via Zapper and gave the waiter a generous tip, but left a bit disgusted when the waiter was disappointed that I did not give him a cash tip.
This is a must for visitors and capetonians alike! Food tasted great. Excellent service. Went here with a local friend (who happens to be indian) and he commented that the food was as close to home cooking as he's ever had! The manager was attentive, helpful and present. I will definitely go back here again when next i visit cape town!
Finally a good Indian place in Cape Town. The best curry I have had since being here. The vindaloo is really hot if you enjoy that kind of thing.
One of the Best bunny chows Ive eaten in Cape Town. Brimming with iconic DBN flavour. Served in a traditional half a loaf of fresh white bread, with a smile and good vibes. No surprise why they have lasted for so long. Quality and excellence.
One of Cape Town's best Indian restaurants that sticks true to it's promise of flavour, spice, and authentic Indian cuisine. The restaurant however should play music more related to its theme. The music is too loud and does not match the ambience of the restaurant.
First time here, and the food was great. Service was friendly and quick for South Africa. The only downsides were for my wife, and that was her first two choices had run out. For me, the 'hot' wasn't particularly hot. Would still recommend it.
The food was excellent. Came out fresh and super fast. Tranquil Atmosphere. Staff delivered friendly and efficient service, especially Godfrey! We'll definitely be back
Absolutely amazing taste of foods. Location is very busy, so my advice is to book in advance. We were a party of six and had an amazing food experience. The service offered is great and friendly. It is highly recommended.
Excellent food made with great pride and enthusiasm. One of the best curry restaurants I have visited in Cape Town. Authentic Indian food served with South Africa flair. I will recommend them anytime!!!!
Went there yesterday specifically to get the puri patha. Was glad I did, it was delicious. That being said, I did struggle between a 3/4 star rating here. While the patha was good, I found the puri a little too crisp. Also R52 for one (about 10cm in size) was a bit pricey.
Then the prawn chilli bites were inedible. To be fair, I did go during loadshedding, but perhaps they should rather say they can’t make something. As per the pictures, it was R98 for this. It had 4 very small pieces of prawn stuck inside. The dough inside was completely raw, and bottom was burnt. Obviously not deep fried. Total loss of nearly R100 as we couldn’t eat it at all.
Then also ordered the trio of rotis. Portion size good, and tasty (although rotis a bit soggy). Beans roti well worth the price.
But why I went to 4, is that the staff there are great. They were friendly & I enjoyed the chat while I waited.
Excellent vegetarian dishes! Their version of mater paneer is arguably the best I’ve had.
Indian food with the magic touch of Seelan Sundoo who besides being an excellent chef, is a great host. From a simple dish such as the vegetable starter which was done to perfection. The fusion dish of the lamb shank is a well balanced dish in taste. The lamb curry which is the benchmark of Indian cuisine, is rich in flavour. It was hard to judge which dish was the creme dela creme between the crayfish and crab curry or the fried kabeljou. The seafood curry was exactly as one’s mum would have cooked it, that is an Indian mum and was big enough for two people. Just be prepared to get your hands messy as a Fork and knife just won’t cut it. The fish was done excellently as well. The restaurant is small and cozy and together with the good service makes for an overall great experience. I will definitely recommend.
Absolutely loved coming to Sundoo one Friday evening. The staff were warm and attentive and the atmosphere is lively. The food was amazing, we really enjoyed the Bunnies as well as the Nepalese style dumplings. Food tastes fresh and explosive with flavors. We'll definitely be back!
