Bite into Durban: Top three spots for the best bunny chow
Dive into part of Durban's heritage with a spicy bunny chow and find out why it's so irresistible, much like the city itself.
NO trip to Durban is complete without sinking your teeth into a legendary bunny chow, a proudly Durban creation born from the resourcefulness of Indian indentured labourers and now loved across the globe.
It’s hearty, messy, flavour-packed, and the perfect way to taste the soul of the city.
While you’ll find bunny chows all over Durban, a few spots rise above the rest.
Gounden’s Restaurant & Takeaway in Umbilo, crowned first place in the Best of Durban 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards, serves up a bunny that keeps both locals and travellers coming back for more.
