Customer Reviews
Order included : Aaloo paratha, shami kebab, chicken boti, roghni naan and beef nihari.
Everything was delicious.
Shami kebab was moist, tender and flavorful.
Roghni naan is served in a striking vertical stand. Very appealing.
Nihari was spicy with medallions of beef cooked to perfection.
Special mention to the waitress for excellent service and attention to detail.
(The bathroom deserves a lot to be desired. For one there is only one toilet for the whole entire restaurant.
Floor is sticky and on the whole just really disgusting to use)

Immediately you enter the space your hit by the potent aroma of what smells like exotic spices . The staff was very polite and seem to enjoy their working environment, I ordered one of their gourmet milkshakes which was nothing short of amazing in which I could say the same for the food . Amazing spice profile , tender meat and simply cooked to perfection . I will admit we were skeptical at first as it was our first time trying Pakistan cuisine but the experience was definitely worth it . Would highly recommend, and shoutout to our waiter Thando she was phenomenal;) and Andile who was so patient and kind with us .
owami mbali
Had a pleasant dining experience during lunch on a weekday, eventhough it was quite crowded, but the service is fast, warm and friendly assistance from Andile and food was scrumptious and carefully prepared. We decided to add on food to go, and didn’t have to wait that long for the kitchen to prepare. Highly recommended.
Farah Burhanuddin
MY Diners Restaurant, located around the corner from the entertainment and games facility of The Zone@Rosebank, is a delightful dining venue for lovers of good Pakistani food. The restaurant is huge, but may appear to be a tad crowded over weekends. Love the solid, round, marble top dining tables, the comfortable chairs as well as the colourful, floral decor. The food: Chicken Biryani, Butter Chicken with Basmati rice, and Chicken Bunny was good. Loved the iron pot the biryani was served in, as well as the huge Bunny chow, drenched in gravy. Portions were exceptionally large, so go in with an appetite, or opt to share portions where you can. The takeaway of leftovers is very decently packed (self-service). Their onion and tomato sambals were brilliant, and the Masala Chai was tops. Soji desert was good, with other treat options available at the counter.
Really appreciated the attentive service from whichever waiter / waitron was available (Evelyn and Never were always at hand).
The in-house bathrooms are well equipped, and the wash basin comes in very handy if eating Indian style with one’s fingers.
Menu is strictly Halaal, and drinks appear to be only Kingsley branded.
All in all, it was a very pleasant dining experience.
Victor Rajkumar
Had a pleasant lunch experience here with my family. The food is tasty with good service. The food portions are definitely smaller when compared to the MyDiners branches in Durban. Overall, this was a good experience with good food!

Customer Reviews
Celebrated a friend’s birthday and James took great care of us, answered our many questions and gave great recommendations. Every single dish we ordered was delicious. Their mocktails are impressive and a lovely variety. Thank you. Loved that they surprised our birthday girl with layered mousse dessert topped with rainbow sprinkles a sparkler. ✨
Mpho Gumede
A truly delightful establishment, combining a charming atmosphere with exceptionally friendly service. The food was excellent — we shared a pizza and pasta, both of which were outstanding. I highly recommend trying the Spicy Teriyaki; it was the highlight of the meal.
Francesc Oliveras
Never fail to impress! Their pasta bake is a consistent winner, and the service is always top-notch. On one occasion, my meal was over-salted, but the chef and manager promptly replaced it with a fresh dish. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly appreciated. Highly recommended.
Petrus Johannes van Zyl
Molly and Lee-Anne were my servers! Enjoyed my dining experience and Mr George always have a wonderful atmosphere. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. One of my favourite places to eat out. I had their Oxtail always delicious and for starters I had Prawn dumplings! Really enjoyed the dishes.

Compulsory stop when I’m in the area… food was terrific….
The waiter was busy but he did not acknowledge our tip, which i felt was abit rude…
Anyhow…. overall a good experience
Aamena Seedat
Was very busy , but food was excellent, kids friendly , have playroom for the kids .. staff very friendly .. The fish with prawn sauce was heavenly ..
Sana Sidat
Hi Spur family. Never had a problem with service and food so keep up the good work. Just one suggestion: consider tweaking or tailoring the war cries by the waiters during birthday celebrations. I might want to order a soft harmonious acapella version for my daughter that blends nicely with the peaceful family atmosphere, almost like Christmas eve. I think the standard one size fits all aggressive, loud chant as though a village invader who has been apprehended is about to be sacrificed, might be getting old fashioned. I think this will enhance the patron’s experience especially when you have several birthdays being celebrated on the day
. It tends to become repetitive and hard on the ears. Many thanks and best regards.
Daniel Tuffour
Went to spur for Iftaar today for my birthday.. The wings and falooda was great but overall I was so disappointed. As soon as we received our meal I tasted the onion rings and they were soggy and not even coated well… We called the waitress and she immediately took it back and gave us a new batch. There wasn’t much of a difference with the new batch .. The cheddamelt steak was horribly cooked, I couldn’t have more than a bite. I had no energy to even complain.. We just packed our food and left. Very disappointing especially after a long fast.. I won’t be eating steak for a while after that. The quality of food at the Rosebank branch has really deterioted. A real waste of my money honestly and definitely not a memorable birthday dinner…
Nazneen Cassim
Had a lovely lunch. The steak was well done and service was good.
I always enjoy the cheddarmelt steak!
The summer cooler in black cherry was nice as was the Pina colada but personally I prefer sticking to cola tonic !

You can always expect great food here. Consistent and good value for money.
Not just a Schwarma restaurant, great steaks, chicken, and specials.
Owner run and operated.
Russel
Nice food and good vibes. Must visit place. Nothing to complain about. So far we have visited this place twice and it was a good exp so far.
Rahul Yadav
For the past 20 years we are having a Christmas party lunch at the Schwarma Co. I have ordered 500g of Skinny Lamp Chop and some of their famous hummus to share. It has become a tradition for us to gather around the long table and enjoy each other’s company while indulging in delicious food. We exchange gifts, share stories from the past year, and make plans for the upcoming one. The atmosphere is always festive and filled with laughter and joy. I look forward to this event every year, as it not only marks the end of a busy year but also brings us all closer together as a family. The Schwarma Co. has been a great host and has never failed to provide us with exceptional service and food. I am grateful for this tradition and hope that it will continue for many years to come.
Gina Labriani

Customer Reviews
The Butter Chicken curry was… simply delicious!
Absolutely loved this tasty Indian creamy tomato dish.
The Paratha (roti) was fluffy and fresh.
The ambience was pleasant.
The staff were hospitable.
The place was clean and the seating area spacious.
The area is fairly safe – as long as you don’t flash your valuables in public areas (for example, walking down the road ).
The main purpose for visiting this Indian restaurant – with its authentic Indian ingredients and Muslim chefs – was to cure my terrible cold!
I’ve learnt from experience , over the years, that a bowl of Indian lentil curry or butter-chicken curry relieves a terrible cold!
Seddi
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER FOOD HAD A STENCH ..CHICKEN VEINS WERE NOT CLEANED COMPLAINED TO THE WAITER ..BUT NO RESPONSE.
AS I WAS LEAVING THE RESTAURANT. SAW THE MANAGER AND CHATTED TO HIM .
HE JUST SAID OO
Mahomed Azhar
The food and service are acceptable and comparable to the other branches; however, the location is dreadful, as the area is a rundown, filthy part of town, and parking is the biggest challenge.
Jithin George
I’ve lost count the number of times that I have visited Dosa Hut and this is owning to the fact the food is just impeccable.
Dosa Hut is situated in the heart of Fordsburg’s busiest streets which can be intimidating. Parking can be an issue. The restaurant is rather small and can become crowded and noisy which leads to having to wait for space but it’s every bit worth it.
They specialise in all Indian cuisine with South Indian cuisine the main focus. The Dosas are a hit and a must eat along with the Thali. The food is always fresh, tasty, flavourful, spicy but not over the top (you can ask for hotter variants) and all round simply scrumptious. A must visit when you are in Johannesburg.
Keith Reddy
Great food at a great price and also good service. Recommend the masala dosa, tattu dosa, onion uttapam, masala fried fish with Kerala paratha, Butter chicken with the chilli and garlic naan, Chicken Kondattom, Onion Pakodas, South Indian special tea and also the Bombay crush. Generally, everything on the menu is of a high standard for a reasonable price.
A new recent thing I have found is to have the Andra Chicken Starter, but the portion size is huge and has a sort of gravy that makes it like a curry. It is really great value for money with you always having leftovers yet being under the starters section and priced as such as well. Lastly, it is also really really tasty and reminds me of the chicken kondattom but less spicy and with a lot less chillies. Highly recommended.
I have to note that upon my last visit, there was a new menu with some price changes. Of particular note, the mutton bunny price changed from R85 to R115. I love their bunny BUT i cannot in all honesty recommend same at that price. As a Durbanite, who has been eating bunnies all my life, I have never paid (nor should you pay) more than R100 for a quarter bunny chow.

They removed the dates from the bottles
Irshaad Mayet
Samanthas service to us was the only highlight of the resturant duration,but unfortunately the dinner was absolutely grotesque ,my one friend ordered the double patty burger which was dry to the centre,my one friend ordered a medium rare stake was was only fried on the outside,but completely blood raw in the centre,i ordered the sirloin steak which was also completely raw,the spinach had no flavor,and the butternut had not life in it,and dont get me started about the onion rings…
Sanele Ngubane
Went to Spur earlier today and my little one fell ill before our food arrived and started throwing up. I don’t know what I would have done without the amazing staff that came to my rescue. I didn’t even know where to begin cleaning him up and the staff just took care of everything, from cleaning him up, changing his nappy and clothes and then cleaning up the tables. They literally just asked me to move to the next table and they would see to him and clean up. They were so very kind, caring and helpful when I was so overwhelmed with the situation. The lady smiled and happily saw to everything while she chatted to my boy and I telling us not to worry. They even quickly changed our order to takeaway so we could leave. Pensacola Spur and staff will always have a very special place in this moms heart, I am forever grateful ❤️

One star is too much, you order a collection order and after an hour when u pitch to collect they make you wait another hour ,poor service quality in terms of delivery to satisfy customers

Tebogo Tiba
I placed my order on uber eats last night and the order was accepted at your store, the order was assigned to the courier. After 20mins I got a message from the courier asking me to call the store because the store cannot give the courier the food order to deliver. I called the store Manager a lady(Thembie) asking her why they cannot give the courier my food order and she said they’re closed. I then asked her why they accepted the order when she knew they won’t be able to deliver and she said they know what they’re doing they don’t just make orders. Disappointed and inconvenienced my children didn’t eat last nite. I wasn’t gonna be angry if they didn’t accepted my order as I was still having some options where I could order fish. Will definitely not order again from the Park station branch.
Ranga Matiz

Balaji Rao
Frequently visit The Thava in Norwood. Generally very good service, good quality food. Flavourful, authentically Indian cuisine. Spice level is not always consistent – I feel that portion sizes could be bigger for the cost of the meal.

I ordered takeaway, the Mutton Karhai and Dhaal Makkan. Absolutely wonderful quality and flavour authentic Indian food
Naseema Mustapha
Always great Indian food, we able love it, even though it’s about 170km alway it’s worth the drive.. please keep it up!!
Nosh Pillay
The food is ok, service is nothing to gloat a out, atmosphere is just ok for you to eat and go. Can’t spend more than an hour there it’s like you are invading their client space
Simphiwe Mkhize
Let’s start off with the area in which the restaurant is based; really dodgy area and with many nyaope boys outside.
Secondly the restaurant has no Aircon , floors are dirty and WC are in a terrible state.
Coming to the food: Taste was okay, but it was way too spicy , not as in hot , but rather spicy.
Chicken tikka had a yellow colour and was so full of spice.
The best part was their garlic naan , hot and fresh.
We ordered mutton karahi and palak paneer.
Bilal Muhammad
The food!!! I don’t remember what my favourite food was before I tasted their food. Portions match the price, if not better. Super5 from me. I stan.
