  • Amy Hempel

Their food does not live up to their name at all. I ordered a deboned chicken 1/4 bunny and when collecting we were very disappointed of the size of the 1/4 bunny. It is ALOT smaller than most places. After opening and tasting the actual curry it tastes more like chutney stew. There are no potatoes or anything in the curry itself and is definitely not hot at all with very little flavor for R75!! Very disappointed and would not recommend

  • Marcelle Laubscher

Delicious food, but sadly always understaffed! There are usually only two ladies (very friendly and lovely!) who work the front desk & kitchen (by the looks of it) and it means there is quite a wait usually. If you come at the wrong time they are quite busy and the food takes long. Having said this, we always return despite the hassle, because the food is worth the wait.

  • Trent Varga

Usually good, but today was extremely disappointed. Ordered boneless 'chicken curry', well it was awful, that was not authentic Durban Curry, wishy washy chicken with a hint of curry powder, definitely not made by the right people, not even one potato, shocking, you need to get you act together. I spent R72 on a watery chicken stew, you are not living up to your name.

  • Lester Blair

I normally order the chip and cheese roti and most times enjoy it but tonight experience was terrible. The chips were hard and dry like they were made this morning and served in the evening and the roti was hard and tasted very old. My wife and I both through our meals away. Going to give some like it hot a miss from now onwards. More

  • Cameron Claassens

Saw posts saying "best curry in Hillcrest". Evidently there can't be many options for curry in Hillcrest if what we experienced today was normal, because this was not a curry. Ordered quarter mutton bunnies and it was a tasty stew at best but certainly far from a curry. The samoosa was more spicy. Very disappointing.

  • reynhardt van rooyen

Because Some like it is about the only curry place in Hillcrest the owner is taking advantage of his customers. He does not offer different portions any more you must take a large mutton curry take it or leave it No more Meduim same with the Bunny chow.. It is just no good. Reynhardt The place has closed down

  • Lorraine Muller

Ordered deboned mutton roti, what I received for R115 was half potato, 5 small pieces of meat with the rest of the container filled with sauce. Never again will I buy from the kloof branch, very disappointed and feeling ripped off on price. I will go to Spar in Hillcrest and get value for money

  • Leon Potgieter

The portion size and pricing left me astounded. One can buy a complete chicken (from Spar) at the similar price to Butter Chicken (debatable) portion. Obviously my first time ! Defnitely not supporting them again.

I would recommend you eat elsewhere. The food bought at this Hillcrest branch made me extremely ill, and hospitalised me. The curry was not the best, and neither was the service. Not worth having any food from here.

Suggest that their chef go for a course about durban curry and bunnies. I was very disappointed because I have had from Umhlanga rocks branch and it is worlds apart. Cannot recommend still suffering of heartburn after Rennies and bicarbonate of soda

  • Duran Gokool

I ordered the lamb shawarma that is advertised on the banner. Firstly it was not a shawarma it was a wrap and probably the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. The lamb was like cubes of rubber the sauce was like a mix of sauces that was absolutely

  • Colin van Son

The best butter chicken bunny chow! Absolutely delicious. I always order a few of the quarter bunny chow and they put the butter chicken in a separate container so I can enjoy for dinner and for lunch the next day!

  • Sile Owo

This was the worst chicken and prawn briyani I’ve ever had. It was just a smoosh mess and the spices were not on parr at all abs the price is almost double their mutton briyani. Will definitely never order again!

  • Dave Rabie

Tried the broad bean bunny today. The curry was tasty but was wrapped in unsuitable paper which stuck and resulted in a messy ordeal. Was also a bit cold.

  • Joshua Dieperink

Bought a boneless beef curry from them the large curry is more like medium, curry tasted good but had less salt and the meat was tuff not to mention no patatoes and runny tummy the next morning.

  • Sean Hay

Terrible! Order a prawn curry for R170. Get home to find a tub of curry sauce with a few prawns in it, nothing else!! No rice or anything else.

Re-edited review. Previously 5 stars,now,not even a one. Ordered the chip cheese and gravy rotii..Firstly,NO cheese, gravy drenched over stale/old/raw McDonald's (small) fries. Was horrible.

  • Ryan Purvis

Veg and bean curry always takes so long to make. It tastes like it is being thawed and heated up in a microwave. Definitely not a true reflection of what a bunny should be. Waste of money.

  • Ray Kathleen

Online menu prices not up-to-date, Very Overpriced for only getting half a potato in the bowl of mutton curry. Was over R175 per head. Much better and cheaper curry available in Durban!

  • Riaan De Winnaar

Lost their minds with pricing. Bean curry is double the price of Swaadisht for 50% less volume. Will not be supporting any longer.

  • Kerry Buys

Menu has deboned mutton, but they don't offer this. Ordered two quarter bunnies, one was half the size, meat tasted off........ won't order from there again!!!!!!!!!!

  • Johan Putter

Had the deboned mutton curry and the butter chicken. The butter chicken was tasteless and expected the mutton to be a bit hotter as it was a Durban curry after all.

  • Alan Melly

Not one of the better curry places. Tad expensive and doesn't taste as good as others. And had more than one order taste bad. But still worth it if you are craving

  • nathan galley

My Girlfriend ordered the potato curry and rice, I got the chicken and prawn curry and roti. Absolutely delicious! So flavorful. We both really enjoyed our meal!

  • Leaf

Always come back for the deboned 1/4 chicken bunny. Full of chicken, very filling, hot and saucy. Pity we live in England now. Going to miss this!

  • Edward Wolhuter

Who ever took over this place made it suck. Useless staff, rude, food not the same. Used to go there all the time, not anymore since new owners.

  • Jacquie Withers

Tasty food and friendly service guaranteed. Always worth a stop when in Hillcrest for a treat of curry, roti and naan to take back to the farm.

  • Jurgen Hof

  • Paul Coetzer

Very disappointing, portion size for the 1/4 is more like 1/8, and the golden rule of bunny chows was broken... bread was not fresh

  • Leemalin Moodley

Small portion size for the price. 1/4 mutton bunny was tiny and had 4 pieces of mutton. Bunny was also not filled to the top.

  • Robyn Coetzer

What a disappointing first time experience, bunny chow bread was stale, curry was tasteless. Definitely will not recommend
