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.

Not far behind is the ever-popular Hollywood Bunny Bar (Springfield), claiming second place with its vibrant atmosphere and bold flavours. Rounding out the top three is The Curry O’s in Moseley, a favourite for its authentic spice and generous portions.

If you want a true taste of Durban’s heritage, adventure, and warmth, grab a bunny chow and dive in. Your holiday won’t be the same without it.
