As for the food, well lets run through our favorites. 

The chicken strips are tender, juicy and plentiful and come with a creatively spiced peri peri marinade. They are served with either a lemon sauce, which is cool and refreshing, or the no holds barred chili sauce which is super spicy and very hot. This dish never fails to hit the mark whichever way you go. They are accompanied with a side of perfectly crispy chips which are hot, well seasoned, and come in generous portions. 

The crispy chicken burgers are made with tender grilled chicken filets served on freshly baked buns. The chicken wraps contain succulent chicken strips, vegetables and their unique sauces all wrapped in a fresh made tortilla. They are great for a fast take away snack but if you have time to linger, the Chicken Platters are amazing and are perfect for sharing. 

They have a signature dish is their version of the Durban favorite, the Bunny Chow. The Bunny Chow is unique to South Africa and is essentially a hollowed out loaf of bread into which they pour rich tasty curry. This combination is just the best.
