Why it’s worth it

The recipes follow Tamil heritage carried by indentured labourers who came to South Africa roughly 150 years ago, adapted with local spices. The Specials board features seasonal crab and crayfish, and there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The room is small and the name honours a co-owner's late father.
