A selection by Cape Town Magazine of the best places to get curry, tandoori, biryani and other Eastern-inspired food in the Mother City.
Cape Town’s culinary scene is eclectic, so it comes as no surprise then that it is home to some of the tastiest and most authentic Indian cuisine. For those not in the know, there is a lot more to Indian food than just your run-of-the-mill spicy curry and flat bread. Indian cooking is far more complex and given the range of diversity in soil type, climate, culture, ethnic group and occupations in India, every Indian meal varies significantly. More often than not, the various dishes comprise local and seasonal spices, herbs, vegetables and fruits to that specific Indian district making each feast deliciously unique.
Lucky for Mother City residents our pretty city is home to a variety of genuine Indian culinary experts who wish to share their dishes and cooking knowledge with us. So, no matter whether your palate favours Northern or Southern Indian dishes or your pockets run deep or shallow, there are plenty of restaurants to satisfy your Eastern-inspired food needs. You simply just have to know where to look.
