Gounden’s is best known for its mutton bunny chow — it goes through a staggering 1 500kg to 2 000kg of mutton a week — the most popular dish on the menu.
urban is notoriously fickle when it comes to restaurants, so it’s something of a testament to the determination of the Gounden family — and the quality and consistent quality of their food — that Gounden’s Restaurant and Take Away has been serving what is arguably the best curry in Durban since the mid-1980s.
In 2013, Gounden’s set up shop in the old Theo’s Cafe premises on the corner of Umbilo Road and Deodar Avenue, where it is still going strong, thanks to an almost cult following in a city known for its bunny chow establishments. “Over time, suppliers have changed but the recipe and the type of ingredients we use are still exactly the same as they were back then.
The sit-down and takeaway menus have a wide variety of meat and vegetable curries, served with rice or roti or as bunny chow, with daily specials running from mutton and cabbage to a spectacular Durban fish curry. Ideal for: A lunchtime takeaway or sit-down meal with proper, home-style curries served in a no-frills environment.
If you have space for dessert, keep things old school and go for the soji, a semolina pudding made with butter, elachi and cinnamon that’s the perfect foil to the heat of the curry and end to the meal.
