Vadivelu

Vadivelu - Review - Tamboerskloof - Cape Town - The Infatuation

"This spot draws on the rich history of South African Indian cuisine that dates back over 100 years, but nothing about Vadivelu feels old. In fact, it’s the opposite. The restaurant has a bright interior with pink, jungle-like wallpaper, a buzzy vibe, and a terrace that spills onto the street. It’s the perfect place for a group of friends who want to tuck into shared bowls of Durban lamb curry, dosas, and butter chicken. By the end of the meal, you may even feel motivated to book a trip to Kwazulu Natal, the birthplace of South African Indian food, where curries use local lamb and are usually thinner in consistency (and much spicier)." - Mary Holland
